Speaker 1: Governors Cup, come on, man, top they call it the Governors.
Speaker 1: This is the Governor's. Every preseason they play.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's preseason on every preseason, it's just
Speaker 4: any anytime the two pro teams in Texas meet up.
Speaker 3: Because we always played. It could be Rangers versus Astros.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, just for football so prior to this it
Speaker 1: was Oilers.
Speaker 3: Uh, Cowboys gotcha.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite things about this game was we
Speaker 2: got you know. It was one of my last opportunities
Speaker 2: to play in Texas Stadium before they blew it up.
Speaker 2: And there's so much history that the Cowboys have had
Speaker 2: as an organization. Uh, one of the biggest organizations in
Speaker 2: the world. Really, if not the biggest organization.
Speaker 1: I think it's evaluated at number one. Yeah, Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: knows how to sell a business. Yeah, Texas Stadium. Did
Speaker 1: you you play? Let's let's jump into that. You you
Speaker 1: went to high school in Texas, the Woodlands, Yep, shout out.
Speaker 1: You played in Texas Stadium in high school, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: Didn't you play in the Astrodome in high school too?
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ and the Alamo do.
Speaker 4: Just getting all over Texas so much, Texas.
Speaker 2: Dome, the Trifecta. Now, what give us?
Speaker 1: Give us one cool thing of each of those stadiums.
Speaker 2: I mean, Texas's nothing like the old school Texas Stadium.
Speaker 2: You see highlights of MS Smith, Troy Eateman, Uh, you
Speaker 2: know Dion back in the day making plays there. They
Speaker 2: hung a couple banners up in there too. So the
Speaker 2: the tradition in Texas Stadium, it's it's a mecca for
Speaker 2: high school football championship games. A bunch of bowl games
Speaker 2: used to come through there, and and you could you
Speaker 2: walk into that stadium and you could feel to the tradition.
Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't the prettiest site, but you know that,
Speaker 2: uh you know, there's there's been great football played there.
Speaker 2: And they said an old Texas you know folk tale
Speaker 2: is that they they cut a hole in the roof
Speaker 2: so God could watch and his team. So so it
Speaker 2: was it was really kind of it was. It was
Speaker 2: the mecca for for high school sports.
Speaker 3: I played.
Speaker 1: I played a three overtime game ers Tyler Lee in
Speaker 1: that stadium.
Speaker 2: What year is this?
Speaker 3: This was two thousand and three.
Speaker 1: Two thousand and three, This is your senior year.
Speaker 2: It was actually the two thousand and four I think
Speaker 2: it was. Yeah, it was one of those two years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know it was the end of the two thousand
Speaker 2: and three right before I graduated in two thousand and four.
Speaker 2: But it was the two thousand and three year of
Speaker 2: the season.
Speaker 1: Is this state championship? It was a playoff game to
Speaker 1: go to the It was a semi finals. So we're
Speaker 1: playing playoff games in Texas Stadium.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: A lot of great athletes play there. I mean, anybody
Speaker 2: that's ever played in a big high school football game
Speaker 2: in Texas has has played in front of forty fifty
Speaker 2: thousand people at Texas Stadium. And we didn't play our
Speaker 2: state championship game there. We played at Rice, but it
Speaker 2: was it was you know, these big stadiums get packed, dude.
Speaker 2: I played in the state championship my senior year. It
Speaker 2: was an all Houston final in Houston, and we had
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people there, and it was the first time
Speaker 2: I really felt what a big game was was really
Speaker 2: supposed to feel, like wow.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, Friday night lights is real. What do
Speaker 1: you remember about the Alamo Dome. Where is the Alamo Dome?
Speaker 2: The Alamo Dome is in San Antonio. You see the
Speaker 2: Alamo Dome in bowl games. You see it in a
Speaker 2: lot of college basketball finals. Have played the final four.
Speaker 2: They just played the Final four there a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago. It's it's it's kind of a basic stadium,
Speaker 2: but the city of San Antonio fully supports and it
Speaker 2: comes out to any any high school football, college football
Speaker 2: game there, any basketball event there, and it's a staple
Speaker 2: in Texas as a as a premier bowl spot and
Speaker 2: in high school game. If we opened up, they have
Speaker 2: the Texas Football Classic there. Every year you open up,
Speaker 2: you open up the season first game of the year there.
Speaker 2: We did that one year and we got the opportunity
Speaker 2: to play on TV in the state of Texas at
Speaker 2: the Alamo Dome and and again another opportunity to kind
Speaker 2: of get your name out there, show your show, you know,
Speaker 2: the world, the state what you can do, and and
Speaker 2: and and try to keep moving up the ranks.
Speaker 1: Such a text and show the world no one outside
Speaker 1: of Texas in two thousand and three watching that goddamn
Speaker 1: game here.
Speaker 2: About goddamn. That's one thing Texas people do love Texas.
Speaker 1: Now, what's about the Astrodome.
Speaker 2: I played in the Astronome my sophomore year versus Duncanville.
Speaker 2: Was like it was my It was, you know, a
Speaker 2: big game, another opener of the season.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And you play these schools all around Texas that aren't
Speaker 2: in your district, you really have an opportunity to play
Speaker 2: against a lot of great football teams. It was old
Speaker 2: school turf, just smelled like old beer in there.
Speaker 1: You could.
Speaker 2: I used to go to Astros games all the time,
Speaker 2: watch Craig Bigio and and Jeff Bagwell and and and
Speaker 2: you know, you walk in there in the brightness of
Speaker 2: the turf like immediately illuminates your eyes and then you
Speaker 2: just smell that old crusty beer in the seats, and
Speaker 2: it's like you're like, this was this is what sports
Speaker 2: is supposed to smell. Like, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So you hit the trifecta. That's so cool. Uh, what's
Speaker 1: like growing up in Texas?
Speaker 2: You know, it's all about football. You know, my dad's
Speaker 2: a high school football coach in Texas. I actually played
Speaker 2: against him in the district.
Speaker 1: And so you went do a different high school than
Speaker 1: your dad's high school. Yeah, that he coached, and you
Speaker 1: guys played them again. We played against each other. They
Speaker 1: were in our district. There are another really good, really
Speaker 1: good team in our district. How does that go down?
Speaker 2: It's cool, man. And we had a he was the
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. Obviously I played receiver. So a game one, Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: we we He beat us my sophomore year, then we
Speaker 2: beat them my junior and senior year, but he was
Speaker 2: out on the numbers calling out the plays. They're going
Speaker 2: They're doing this, they're doing that. He's been watching our offense,
Speaker 2: you know, as I came through the ranks and my
Speaker 2: brother came through the ranks, so he knew every play
Speaker 2: that we were about to call.
Speaker 1: Why didn't you guys go to his high school because we.
Speaker 2: Lived I lived in my brother and I grew up
Speaker 2: in the Woodlands. All our friends were there in the Woodlands.
Speaker 2: That's where our house was. He traveled like fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: south at the time to Westfield High School and.
Speaker 3: They were good. Man.
Speaker 2: We went to the state finals and my senior year
Speaker 2: and then the next year his team went to the
Speaker 2: state finals. We both ended up losing that game, but
Speaker 2: really good teams. So as the talent was there.
Speaker 1: Now, how's the dinner table after your dad?
Speaker 3: Each year?
Speaker 2: It was it was it was quiet man, you know.
Speaker 2: You know he humed me early and and and got us.
Speaker 2: He had to get some good players and then and
Speaker 2: then we we got on my my junior and senior year.
Speaker 2: There's I have one great memory though, Uh we had
Speaker 2: a we had an interception that their dB ran down
Speaker 2: their sideline. I go to tackle them. I get blindsided,
Speaker 2: blown up and into the into the sideline. My dad
Speaker 2: catches me and then throws me back on the field
Speaker 2: and I go back and I'm starting to run this,
Speaker 2: try to riding this guy down. But he scored on it.
Speaker 2: So it's just, you know, I remember every every game
Speaker 2: before he played each other. You know, he'd come up
Speaker 2: tell me he loved me and he's proud of me,
Speaker 2: and then he'd he'd you know, we go about our
Speaker 2: business and have fun for the next three four hours,
Speaker 2: and then it was a great up.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: It was awesome, man, great, great memory?
Speaker 1: How bad did you want to beat him?
Speaker 2: You know, I was begging him to put you know,
Speaker 2: guys on me that I want. I knew I could toast.
Speaker 2: I'm like, give me, give me, Bobby, give me, freaking
Speaker 2: give me. You know whoever, Billy, I don't care.
Speaker 3: I want.
Speaker 2: I want to toast all of them. And then you know,
Speaker 2: he put their best player. I think I forget his name,
Speaker 2: but he ended up going to play in college, and
Speaker 2: we had a battle.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: They were they had some some really good, uh really
Speaker 2: good teams.
Speaker 1: So who were some good like some big name high
Speaker 1: schoolers in Texas around the time you played that played
Speaker 1: in the league.
Speaker 2: Remember I grew up watching Colt McCoy play. Colt McCoy
Speaker 2: played in the played in the NFL for a long time.
Speaker 2: Chris Oban I, I played in the NFL for a long time,
Speaker 2: running back against Texas, played out, played for the I
Speaker 2: played with him in the Rams. He played in Cleveland
Speaker 2: for a while. You know, just a lot of guys
Speaker 2: that filter either through Texas, Texas A and M Baylor,
Speaker 2: T CU, Texas Tech, and uh T and UT Yeah
Speaker 2: U T UT Yeah, Yeah, that's U T. You know
Speaker 2: they they they You know, these teams got a lot
Speaker 2: of money now the n I L and and and
Speaker 2: they can pay to get the best players.
Speaker 1: So wait up, you grew up in Texas, you go
Speaker 1: to Texas Tech? Did you want to go to UT?
Speaker 2: I wanted to go initially wanted to go to but
Speaker 2: I remember my dad came home when I was a sophomore.
Speaker 2: I started getting recruited and my dad said, you know,
Speaker 2: my dad had all this inside information because he was
Speaker 2: a high school football coach in the state. He knew
Speaker 2: all the recruiters, He knew all the coaches, and they
Speaker 2: would tell him like, hey, we're not going to offer you, Danny,
Speaker 2: will you know?
Speaker 3: And then something.
Speaker 2: So he came in and I wanted to go to
Speaker 2: A and M because he had Dante Hall went to
Speaker 2: A and M. My dad coach Dante in high school.
Speaker 2: I grew up watching A and M going to going
Speaker 2: to aggieland College station to watch them play huge Aggie fan.
Speaker 2: Wanted to go there, and my dad came home one
Speaker 2: day He's like, listen, A and M told me they're
Speaker 2: not going to offer your scholarship.
Speaker 3: I'm too small.
Speaker 1: And they had already delegated certain amount of scholarships out
Speaker 1: to their guys all day and they had commits.
Speaker 2: So I was I wasn't going to touch at the
Speaker 2: field there. But he came home one night and he said,
Speaker 2: Texas Tech's going to offer you. And I knew their
Speaker 2: offense Cliff Kingsbury, Wes Welker, guys that you know. Wes
Speaker 2: was catching thirteen fifteen balls a game and you know similar,
Speaker 2: you know, size and stature. I'm like, hey, I can
Speaker 2: do that. Let's let's let's go. So offered me as
Speaker 2: a as a sophomore. I committed as a junior, and
Speaker 2: I committed to Tech before I even took a visit.
Speaker 1: And in this day and age, say like, somehow Danny A.
Speaker 1: Mondola is playing right now at Texas Tech balls out
Speaker 1: his freshman year. Is he graduating a Texas Tech guy?
Speaker 1: Or is he going to get nil somewhere else? At
Speaker 1: A and M or ut They say, hey, here's the
Speaker 1: real money kid. Yeah, you know how those minor leagues
Speaker 1: in Texas Tech because I went to I went to
Speaker 1: a two A school, right, right, So you went to
Speaker 1: a triple A school, right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I went to a two A school Kent State. But
Speaker 1: you know we put up we put up some powerhouses
Speaker 1: up there. So right, would you finish that Texas Tech?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm loyal to Tech. I can't imagine going
Speaker 2: anywhere else. You know, I came from nothing, though money wise,
Speaker 2: it's enticing when you got two million dollars on the table,
Speaker 2: three million dollars on the table. The decisions these kids
Speaker 2: have to make, Thank god I didn't have. I don't
Speaker 2: have to make them. So but Texas Tech is my home,
Speaker 2: you know, I all my you know, great friends went there,
Speaker 2: A bunch of great coaches came through, and I'm loyal
Speaker 2: to the Red and Black.
Speaker 1: So your dad coached Dante Hall.
Speaker 2: He enjoys it.
Speaker 1: The human joystick has one of the most elite punt returns,
Speaker 1: probably the most elite punt return that we all could
Speaker 1: just remember. Yeah, how was he in high school?
Speaker 3: Dude?
Speaker 2: He was crazy. He played running back actually, and they
Speaker 2: tried to get him the ball in every play. And
Speaker 2: you know, I remember I was a ball boy when
Speaker 2: he was at Nimitts High School and he was a
Speaker 2: senior there and just getting to watch him go through
Speaker 2: Texas A and M played running back there. They tried
Speaker 2: to get him the ball in every play, you know,
Speaker 2: and then he punt return, kick return in college as well.
Speaker 2: So you know, dynamic player. You know, he's great hands,
Speaker 2: you know, obviously great body control. The transition from running
Speaker 2: back to receiver in the NFL was pretty easy for him,
Speaker 2: although he you know, he excelled in the special teams roles.
Speaker 2: He definitely contributed on offense too, So it's great to
Speaker 2: see him transform into a receiver.
Speaker 3: Oh there you go.
Speaker 2: Shout out, shoutout, shout out.
Speaker 1: Hasborough in one sentence, can you describe football in Texas
Speaker 1: one sentence?
Speaker 2: One sentence?
Speaker 1: That education, let's see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the town stops and the people go crazy.
Speaker 1: Paint picture Friday night at the Woodlands, rival town homecoming,
Speaker 1: rival teams there. Paint us the picture of what the
Speaker 1: city and that your high school experience was.
Speaker 2: Because I went to California.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch of hippies out here and stuff like,
Speaker 1: our football is really good, but we had thirty thousand
Speaker 1: people coming to at least my school. There's some yeah
Speaker 1: that float around, but I want to hear the Texas
Speaker 1: Woodlands two, A, five, A whatever, freaking a you guys
Speaker 1: are yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, first off, they put so much work in
Speaker 2: the off season and into seven on seven and into
Speaker 2: you know, off season football, and then they get into
Speaker 2: the season and then you the city shuts down, The
Speaker 2: town completely stops everybody to come.
Speaker 3: No, I don't.
Speaker 2: I have a funny story I'll share with you after this,
Speaker 2: but we uh, you know, it's it's it's all about
Speaker 2: the pride of the of the city that you're from
Speaker 2: and and representing that, you know in the best way possible,
Speaker 2: and there's no better way to do that than than football.
Speaker 2: And on a Friday night. Then what's that funny story
Speaker 2: you had? So I was so just to give you,
Speaker 2: like a little uh rundown on on on how popular
Speaker 2: you know sports in general, but in football is in
Speaker 2: our community. We had a we have a community newspaper,
Speaker 2: just like a lot of communities do. And I was,
Speaker 2: I was, I was eighteen, and I was I had
Speaker 2: my brother's fake ID, and I needed to go buy
Speaker 2: everybody beer, like on like a Saturday, after the Friday
Speaker 2: night game. So I walk into the gas station, I
Speaker 2: got my brother's fake I got my fake ID, which
Speaker 2: is my brother's. I d shout out Matt, thank you,
Speaker 2: and and I go to put the beer on the
Speaker 2: on the desk and I'm pulling up I d yes, sir,
Speaker 2: here's my twenty two dollars cash crink crinkled up one
Speaker 2: dollar bills. And he goes, I can't sell you that.
Speaker 2: I'm like why not. I'm like, what do you mean
Speaker 2: you can't sell me that. I'm I'm clearly twenty two
Speaker 2: years old. And he goes, cause you're on the front
Speaker 2: page of the of the he's the Woodlands Chronicle over
Speaker 2: here scoring touchdowns in high school.
Speaker 3: Buddy get out.
Speaker 2: So he didn't sell it. Did something?
Speaker 1: Yeah, darn it. It wasn't that popular. I know, it's
Speaker 1: not like we're daisy confused. Where the guy looks the
Speaker 1: other way, He's like, right, go have fun, right, but
Speaker 1: just so sick.
Speaker 2: So we had to find a new way that rocks.
Speaker 3: Does your mom go to your game or your dad's games? Oh?
Speaker 2: Mine?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mamadola represents Now. How when you sign up Texas Tech?
Speaker 1: You said, Wes Wolker went there, and you guys had
Speaker 1: the same body type. How big of a legend was
Speaker 1: Wes Welker at Tech?
Speaker 2: He at the time he had I came in a
Speaker 2: year after him. He had set the NCAA punt return
Speaker 2: for touchdowns. I think he had eleven or twelve at
Speaker 2: the time, and they every time he'd get back to
Speaker 2: return to punt, the whole stands would chant west West,
Speaker 2: and then he'd get the ball and go crazy. Caught
Speaker 2: like him and Cliff Kingsbury, you know, I mean hooked
Speaker 2: up for I mean tens hundreds almost, I mean as
Speaker 2: many touchdowns as you can think of. Yeah, I remember
Speaker 2: watching them play Texas. They beat Texas on CBS at
Speaker 2: like a two o'clock game in Lubbock one afternoon, and
Speaker 2: I said, that's exactly where I want to go, and
Speaker 2: I want to do the same thing, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it all derived from Mike Leach's offense
Speaker 2: Rest in Peace. Mike great coach. Uh, we had some
Speaker 2: nights with him.
Speaker 1: We've called him Oh yeah, hammered foh yeah, four in
Speaker 1: the morning and Mike Leach will sit and talk to
Speaker 1: us for three hours.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: That's the thing about like he.
Speaker 1: Would be in a time zone where it's yeah, you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be up. I can't get enough Mike Leach talk man,
Speaker 1: Mike leachs tell us a good Mike Leach story man.
Speaker 2: Mike is Mike was one of the toughest coaches. He
Speaker 2: actually got a lot of his philosophies and ideas from Bill.
Speaker 2: He loved the Patriots, he loved what he loved what
Speaker 2: they were doing out there, and he won one. This
Speaker 2: is this is Bill, you know, in a nutshell. He
Speaker 2: didn't think we were tough at the time. So we uh,
Speaker 2: this was in season, bro. Like we had to start practice.
Speaker 2: Everybody had full pads on. We had to we had
Speaker 2: like a sixty yard sand pit and we had to
Speaker 2: start one end and we had to just roll throughout
Speaker 2: the sand as they sprayed us with water and and
Speaker 2: and we snickerdoodles, yeah, sugar cookies. And so we we
Speaker 2: get done with with the with the sugar cookie, and
Speaker 2: we had to go the rest of the practice with
Speaker 2: sand in our shoes and sand in our helmets and
Speaker 2: saying because we wanted to toughen us up, and and
Speaker 2: and you know, I mean, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: it's like I got so much from that. Man, I
Speaker 2: can't even can't even really explain.
Speaker 1: He was a great, great person for this sport. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now he's had some crazy shit happen, but there's also
Speaker 1: crazy shit with everyone. Yeah, but he gave. He gave
Speaker 1: so much more than no question, a lot of people. Man,
Speaker 1: he was a fun guy and his offense is always
Speaker 1: used to light it up.
Speaker 2: Remember he went to where do you go to? Hawaii?
Speaker 2: Was he in Hawaii for a while with Washington he
Speaker 2: was in Uh, he was he was in It was
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma, Kentucky, uh, Texas Tech. Then he went to
Speaker 2: Washington State. He and then he went he went to
Speaker 2: miss Mississippi State. But I'm thinking of June Jones. June Jones,
Speaker 2: but also and then but they yeah, same same offense,
Speaker 2: same style of offense. I mean, you know, the hard part.
Speaker 2: The hard part about that offense is there's no for
Speaker 2: minute offense. So when you get up by twenty one
Speaker 2: and the third and and you know you're passing, say
Speaker 2: you go three and out, you don't waste any time
Speaker 2: you give the ball back and then and then you
Speaker 2: got to play defense. So you have to get up,
Speaker 2: stay up, and keep it moving because otherwise, you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's hard. It's hard to.
Speaker 1: Stay up if you don't have a you know, that
Speaker 1: four minute offense that we learn situationally in the NFL. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I need I need Kurt to learn situation situationally for
Speaker 1: our FIFA club's team because he.
Speaker 2: Always has us an attack.
Speaker 1: It's like four minutes, we're up to two goals, brout
Speaker 1: fucking defend, Yeah, because we give up these counter attacks
Speaker 1: and then we end up losing these games. Right, So
Speaker 1: it's the same fucking thing. We're the Texas Tech of FIFA.
Speaker 2: Just keep it going.
Speaker 1: That is interesting about the air raid.
Speaker 4: I've never really thought about that as like missing a
Speaker 4: four minute offense clock.
Speaker 1: Did you ever watch a movie or showed Friday night
Speaker 1: lights Peter Burg? Of course, of course, is it kind
Speaker 1: of like that. It's it's like that.
Speaker 2: That's so Friday Night Lights is based out in Midland
Speaker 2: Odessa and and it's a that's a small, small town vibe.
Speaker 2: And that's really where you see the essence of high
Speaker 2: school football in Texas come come alive. Uh the city
Speaker 2: literally the I mean, I'm the stoplights quit blinking, stoplights,
Speaker 2: quit blinking bill boards in front of house, billboards in
Speaker 2: front of house statues on the highway. There's there's one
Speaker 2: stop light in the town. And and you know, the
Speaker 2: whole town really comes together for those games.
Speaker 3: It's great. And the bigger.
Speaker 2: Cities, the you know, the high school games are are bigger.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you know, I
Speaker 2: mean in Houston, you know, we got other shit going
Speaker 2: on too.
Speaker 1: Do you know that Ernie Adams is responsible for Friday
Speaker 1: Night Lights being in Texas?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 3: Tell me?
Speaker 2: Tell me how well?
Speaker 1: The author of the book, Buzz Bissinger. Bissinger originally wanted
Speaker 1: to go where Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania he went to andover with
Speaker 1: Ernie and Bill, I think, and he wanted to write
Speaker 1: it about Pittsburgh football. And Ernie's like Texas they breathed football.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out Ernie.
Speaker 1: So Ernie is the reason why.
Speaker 2: Pink lights, pink stripes at it again, Pink stripes at
Speaker 2: it again.
Speaker 3: Who like the big time programs in Texas high school
Speaker 3: football and like oh Odessa hates this team?
Speaker 1: Or because you know, in California we have Daylya, sou
Speaker 1: Long Beach, Paul Leaks, Christian and all those things, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, one of the big boys out
Speaker 1: Saint Francis and nor Cow.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So in Texas, the biggest thing to learn is that
Speaker 1: there's no the private schools don't compete at the highest level.
Speaker 2: It's all public schools. So there's no recruiting. You know,
Speaker 2: you can't you can't pay players to come there. You
Speaker 2: know you can, or at least you can't make it
Speaker 2: too obvious. So that's the biggest thing to get kids
Speaker 2: are being paid.
Speaker 1: In Texas in high school to go to high schools
Speaker 1: or just scholarships.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, under the table.
Speaker 1: There's there's things that have happened that that gotten you know,
Speaker 1: people into the into the schools. Used to pay this guy,
Speaker 1: Coop Leonard, like four hundred bucks a semester so he
Speaker 1: if he got grades, yeah, just because and my dad
Speaker 1: used to drive him home every once in a while
Speaker 1: because there is the late us to e p a. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he said he had to go, he'd have to
Speaker 1: take it to to go work. And when I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll give you four inner bucks, you keep
Speaker 1: your grades. Yeah, and so we used to pay players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's I mean, there's a lot of big rivalries there.
Speaker 2: You know, the big schools. I would say, you know,
Speaker 2: Westlake has Westlake and Austin has won three state titles
Speaker 2: in the past six years, and that's big school.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Then you have Houston schools, like you know, the Woodlands
Speaker 2: is good. We got you know, North Shore. Galina Park
Speaker 2: is one of the best. They're always in the in
Speaker 2: the playoffs late.
Speaker 1: And what's the Dallas school.
Speaker 2: Dallas School's Duncanville. They got De Soto, they got a
Speaker 2: bunch of them. Tyler Lee is really good. But you know,
Speaker 2: big cities usually it's rare to see. It's rare to
Speaker 2: see a two like one city final. So usually it's
Speaker 2: like a Houston team and a Dallas team, or like
Speaker 2: a San Antonio team and a Dallas team. Uh uh
Speaker 2: So it's rare to see in an all city final,
Speaker 2: which which is unique when it does happen. We had
Speaker 2: an all city final when when I played it was
Speaker 2: it was electric because you you you again, you get
Speaker 2: to represent the state, but most importantly the city.
Speaker 1: To which area is the best football Houston?
Speaker 2: No question? Easy, easy, I mean I'll always rep Houston.
Speaker 2: I mean we can look at the numbers and the
Speaker 2: I mean Houston or Dallas is clearly you know, it's
Speaker 2: clearly on top. San Antonio is in there, Austin has
Speaker 2: been producing, has one or two teams that that can
Speaker 2: really play usually the usually you see west Lake in
Speaker 2: the in there as well. So it's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: So talk us through the food scene in Texas. Is
Speaker 1: it a barbecue place?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What's up with this? What a burger? What explain that?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's a barbecue state.
Speaker 2: What kind of barbecue you know? Beef ribs, briskets, slow
Speaker 2: cooked all night? I mean, uh, you're we I sasce
Speaker 2: it up? So I it up?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Your top two favorite barbecue spots in Texas? Terry Blacks,
Speaker 1: Terry Blacks, where's that?
Speaker 2: Austin, Texas?
Speaker 3: The best?
Speaker 2: The best beef rib you can you can think of.
Speaker 2: It's fire good sides are awesome too. They're cooking all night, dude,
Speaker 2: all night, all night. Franklin's Barbecue, Austin, Texas. Yeah, what about.
Speaker 1: Is the Is the barbecue different in the cities in Houston?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know too many good barbecue joints in Houston,
Speaker 2: mostly chains like Luther's and and Rudy's. I know that
Speaker 2: I know more of the local spots in Austin because
Speaker 2: that's where I live. But sauce it up, cook it up? Now?
Speaker 2: What a burger? What do you like?
Speaker 3: A good thing?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: I mean the good thing about Waterburger is they have
Speaker 2: an open menu twenty four to seven. You can get
Speaker 2: a taketo at three in the clock in the morning.
Speaker 2: They're open, you know, around the clock, so you can
Speaker 2: roll up. That's the best thing about what with your
Speaker 2: go to order? It depends what time it is?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: The burgers are Firejlapano's put a little bacon on. That
Speaker 2: is is good. And then the taketos all night are
Speaker 2: are clutch. I think you don't you like that butter
Speaker 2: buttered chicken biscuit?
Speaker 3: Ooh the honey butter.
Speaker 1: You never never hadger? You ever had one, never had
Speaker 1: whataburger at all?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the honey buttered chicken biscuit is hard, but it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen hundred calories worth it worth worth it?
Speaker 1: Is it better than in and out in your mind?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, No, just had to at least you had to confirm.
Speaker 1: What's the best thing about growing up in Texas?
Speaker 2: Mmmm? Just I mean for me, you know, sports tradition,
Speaker 2: h you know, play AAU baseball one hundred and fifteen
Speaker 2: games a year, Switch it over to football, play seven
Speaker 2: on seven state championship, A bunch of great athletes, uh,
Speaker 2: compete in and against really good football players. The basketball
Speaker 2: is great, they're obviously track bunch of track stars coming
Speaker 2: out of there. You know.
Speaker 1: It's just just the overall uh you.
Speaker 3: Know, or of of of sports there.
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's it just gives everybody an opportunity
Speaker 2: to come together and and in showcase what they can do.
Speaker 1: Can the best Texas high school football team beat a
Speaker 1: Division one shitty program?
Speaker 2: I don't. I just I just think in terms of size,
Speaker 2: I mean, they're gonna be undersized at the at at
Speaker 2: on lock on the defensive offensive line. I think the
Speaker 2: skill players could compete. Yeah, yeah, I think the skill
Speaker 2: players could compete. Uh, it would would, Yeah, it would
Speaker 2: depend on that.
Speaker 1: That's where That's what when people used to say back
Speaker 1: when I was like a kid, the Niners were really bad.
Speaker 1: For while they're really bad and they're like us, it's
Speaker 1: when USC was really good and they're like you. He
Speaker 1: could probably be the Niners on that wagon. Until I
Speaker 1: played in the NFL. Is like, yeah, no, shot, right,
Speaker 1: I know, fucking shot, I know, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I know. It's just it's the lines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna be able to run the ball all
Speaker 1: day and stop the run. And then I mean again,
Speaker 1: there would be it'd be competition, I think.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I don't think it will be a blowout,
Speaker 2: but I think, I mean, the skill position as long
Speaker 2: as your quarterback in the line are good at the
Speaker 2: high school level, like you can compete. But other than that,
Speaker 2: they was just handing the ball off and run all day.
Speaker 1: Now, you grew up in Houston. Are you a Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan or a Houston Oilers fan?
Speaker 2: So I grew up a Houston Oilers fan. They moved
Speaker 2: to Nashville to become the Titans. That they moved the
Speaker 2: Texans in I wasn't on the Texans bandwagon. I that's
Speaker 2: when I started rooting for the Cowboys when they were winning.
Speaker 2: They just got Dion, uh you know, and then I
Speaker 2: was probably ten. So you're right in the that was good,
Speaker 2: oh man, Yeah, they were. They were rocking up in
Speaker 2: Dallas and it would It was exciting to watch them
Speaker 2: play good.
Speaker 1: Now, take us through this Texas guy football loves Texas
Speaker 1: because there's nothing but one hundred and fifteen baseball games
Speaker 1: in the summer. To football state.
Speaker 2: To a guy that.
Speaker 1: Goes on Dancing with the Stars, explain that transformation.
Speaker 2: Shout out has Bro transformer. Unbelievable experience. Honestly, had a
Speaker 2: great partner, you know she. It was four or five
Speaker 2: hours a day of dedicated work, something new, something fresh.
Speaker 2: The footwork translated for me because all the footwork drills
Speaker 2: we do, so I could pick up that the hardest
Speaker 2: part was holding frame and then knowing what to do
Speaker 2: with the rest of your body and kind of the
Speaker 2: little nuances of dance.
Speaker 3: But great experience.
Speaker 2: Man, It really related to me in the football sense
Speaker 2: of and you can relate to this too. It was
Speaker 2: a week of preparation for a minute of of live
Speaker 2: you gotta you know, you're competing with just a minute.
Speaker 2: It's two minutes a dance. Maybe it seems like forever. Probably,
Speaker 2: I mean you're thinking every every centimeter through that through
Speaker 2: that dance. But it was very similar in that way.
Speaker 2: You know, you had to I knew where I was
Speaker 2: when it was a Thursday, I knew where I was.
Speaker 2: Was a right, I got two more days to prepare.
Speaker 2: I really need to hone in on this, start putting
Speaker 2: some extra sauce on this and uh. And it was
Speaker 2: really really similar to the world of football.
Speaker 1: Actually, take us through that last run, the final Yeah,
Speaker 1: the final man, you know, at at that point, honestly, like,
Speaker 1: were you at that point, were you like kind of
Speaker 1: dialed where it was starting to become easier and easier
Speaker 1: it was you were picking it up because how many weeks?
Speaker 2: Ten weeks and.
Speaker 1: Five hours, four dimes a week, seven days, seven days
Speaker 1: a week. So take through that last Like, by then,
Speaker 1: are you like all right now? Were you feeling a
Speaker 1: little swazy on you You're feeling like I was feeling
Speaker 1: a little baby in a corner.
Speaker 2: Get her out.
Speaker 1: Let's go fucking hit this routine right now. Let's go
Speaker 1: rip it because your your facial expressions got better. I
Speaker 1: was scared to transform from that. I was scared of death.
Speaker 1: At the beginning, you look like a robot. And then
Speaker 1: I started seeing some theatrics from you.
Speaker 2: So you music music?
Speaker 1: Did my dad tell you that musicality? Musicality? And he goes,
Speaker 1: his musicality has gotten really good. My mom and dad
Speaker 1: would watch him in Vote a million times every fucking night,
Speaker 1: like they'd set alarms. I was at the house, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, and I went. We went and watched it,
Speaker 1: but I didn't get to always watch it. I'd watch
Speaker 1: the cut ups where I'd watch the you know, I'd
Speaker 1: watch the dance. Yeah, and my parents my parents house,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, fucking alarm goes. I'm like, what
Speaker 1: do you what's that? My mom was like, oh, we
Speaker 1: got ten minutes, so dance with the start. We're gonna
Speaker 1: call right now because it's fucking on, Like because it's
Speaker 1: she knows the game.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: She showed love, she showed how experience. So, I mean,
Speaker 2: it was so cool to watch you.
Speaker 3: It was great.
Speaker 2: I think the best part about it was I got
Speaker 2: to maximize every dance, the whole opportunity. I got to
Speaker 2: be in there to the final and and just learn
Speaker 2: so much. I became, you know, so much more comfortable
Speaker 2: in front of a live audience. And and you know,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I was competing with
Speaker 2: myself the day before, and I just wanted to get
Speaker 2: better than what I was, you know, doing the day before.
Speaker 2: And then whatever happened on dance night with what happened.
Speaker 2: So you know, I just try to worry about what
Speaker 2: I can control, and that's and that's competing with myself
Speaker 2: getting better. That was Hey was in the barn. He
Speaker 2: was in the barn.
Speaker 1: Man, you got to do it's got to go do
Speaker 1: it now. Out of all of our teammates that we've
Speaker 1: played with together, because it'll be more fun, who do
Speaker 1: you think could go out there and win it?
Speaker 2: Oh? I mean, shoot, Gronk would bring so much energy
Speaker 2: to the to the stage. He brings a lot of energy.
Speaker 3: Did he perform very well on the Masked Singer? But
Speaker 3: he would.
Speaker 2: I mean you can just kind of dial his skills
Speaker 2: in and hone in and and and get his big
Speaker 2: ass feet.
Speaker 1: Matthew Slater says he thinks he could be a dancer.
Speaker 1: I remember he always used to say it's just choreography.
Speaker 2: Baby, right right, Slate, he thinks Slay can get out
Speaker 2: there with you know, just his dedication alone.
Speaker 1: We already know what what kind of guy he is
Speaker 1: in terms of when he has a task in front
Speaker 1: of him, I think he'd actually kill it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would kill it. I think we got to.
Speaker 1: Get Matthew Slater to do dancing with the stars.
Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1: Cap he's gonna be a fucking Hall of Famer as
Speaker 1: a special teamer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get him out there.
Speaker 1: Man, Let's see what I think looks like quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would be great. He'd have to get his
Speaker 2: freaking you know, chest outs button. You know, he had
Speaker 2: to learn the frame. Football players aren't built for that ship.
Speaker 6: Bro.

Speaker 2: We had a lot, you know, we were very relatable
Speaker 2: obviously in terms of trying to hone in our strength
Speaker 2: on the dance floor. And it's tough as an athlete,
Speaker 2: uh of competitive sports, because you know you're you're trying
Speaker 2: to fight just as much as you are trying to move,
Speaker 2: So it's it's it was hard, but you know, she

Speaker 2: Then she she came up with all the choreography. We
Speaker 2: had a we had a really cool lift to end
Speaker 2: that dance that we thought was gonna be like a
Speaker 2: show stopper. This one was really easy for her. It's
Speaker 2: hard to do if you're not a pro. But uh,
Speaker 2: you know, as you as you can see on TikTok.
Speaker 2: But she she she makes everything look so easy, and
Speaker 2: and we actually we we we practiced that early in

Speaker 2: did good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I competed my ass off on all of them.
Speaker 2: I took away a lot from from each. You know,
Speaker 2: Opportunity dancing was a little less strenuous on the body
Speaker 2: and more and the most enjoyable. The Special Forces thing
Speaker 2: was was crazy, absolutely crazy, And then everybody saw Hard
Speaker 2: Knocks when I got cut on national television. So but
Speaker 2: I I plan on doing uh some dancing in the future.
Speaker 2: Uh My football and Special Forces days are completely over.

Speaker 1: the Great British Bakeoff. So I'm gonna have to get
Speaker 1: a couple of pointers for reality TV from you.
Speaker 2: That's perfect, that's perfect.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Just be yourself, bro, when people are gonna love
Speaker 1: you cussing so much. I do live tea TV for
Speaker 1: a living as well. Right, right, right, So there's there's modes,
Speaker 1: right right right, there's modes. There's podcast mode, and there's TV.
Speaker 2: Mode, TV mode. You got to be in TV mode.
Speaker 1: Now transform into many modes, a lot of modes and
Speaker 1: a lot of rules. And speaking of rules, you see
Speaker 1: Rabel's four rules that he gave to the patriots. No hoods,
Speaker 1: no hoods, snow cell phones, snow phones, be on time,
Speaker 1: be nice to the uh, be nice to the everybody
Speaker 1: in the buildings.
Speaker 2: And what was the fourth one? Don't be late?
Speaker 1: Don't be late. Call yeah, don't be late. You know
Speaker 1: what time it starts.
Speaker 2: I mean, those are like the same rules for everyone.
Speaker 1: If you're going to be late, it seems like you're
Speaker 1: still gonna get in case, right, Yeah, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: be late, you got a call.
Speaker 2: Communicating you're gonna get fine community.
Speaker 3: Now no phone in the weight room.
Speaker 1: About the OX situation, Well, they said you could put
Speaker 1: it on the OX area to leave.
Speaker 2: Your cell phones right at the area.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love what he's doing out there, man. You know,
Speaker 2: obviously I love draw great teammate and coach. You know,
Speaker 2: Rabes is an established coach in the league. You know,
Speaker 2: he's been there for a long time and and he
Speaker 2: brings he brings a lot of great qualities to the organization.
Speaker 2: I'm excited what he's gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm super excited too. But you know, it's it is
Speaker 1: a weird situation for us because we both played with Mayo.
Speaker 1: We played we both played with Mayo, and we both
Speaker 1: are really friendly with Rabes, Like we have relationships with him.
Speaker 1: And you feel terrible for Drad who only had one
Speaker 1: year and they didn't pay anyone and they didn't bring
Speaker 1: anyone of the team, right, you know, and now, but
Speaker 1: like also Mike Rabel brought Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans to the playoffs. Is a number one seat Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: I love Ryan Tannehill. He's a great quarterback. I have
Speaker 1: to I have to take them. He's not a great quarterback.
Speaker 1: I gotta take the good time. He's a good quarterback,
Speaker 1: but he ain't one seed quo, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for this situation. And there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some gray. There's gonna be some patriot foundational shit that
Speaker 1: we that he had as a patriot that'll be there
Speaker 1: that you know that I like, right, probably just a little.
Speaker 1: I think I've evolutionized.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think I think you know of in
Speaker 2: the case of him bringing Ryan Tannehill over. You know,
Speaker 2: I played with Ryan and he's a great football player,
Speaker 2: great football player.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And I think I think Rabes saw that in him,
Speaker 2: and a lot like your situation. You're a great football player,
Speaker 2: you can do a lot of different things, and I
Speaker 2: think Rabes knows and understands if you're a great football player,
Speaker 2: then you're gonna give our chance, our team a good
Speaker 2: chance to win. And you know, I think if he
Speaker 2: the more great football players he can collect as opposed
Speaker 2: to like you got a guy that could just run faster,
Speaker 2: you got a guy that could just do this or
Speaker 2: do that, then that that collection will be overall better
Speaker 2: a better outcome.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not killing on Tannehill, right, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: we have a huge sample size of work of what
Speaker 1: he's done. You know, we played, I played, We played
Speaker 1: against him a boatload when he was in Miami, you know,
Speaker 1: to go to Tennessee and re resurrect his career and
Speaker 1: really be one of the first guys that had this
Speaker 1: didn't really make it as a first round or go
Speaker 1: to somewhere else and kind of flourish in this generation.
Speaker 1: I think Rabel's gonna be great for the Patriots. I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna make the playoffs this year. Oh, I
Speaker 1: like that. I think they'll make the playoffs this year.
Speaker 1: Let's go, who do we got in the division? We
Speaker 1: got the Buffalo Bills, who are the big dogs. Miami
Speaker 1: is a train wreck right now. Miami's a train wreck,
Speaker 1: like everything you know, You're yeah, Miami is a train wreck.
Speaker 1: And then we have the New York Jets. Okay, and
Speaker 1: I like Aaron Glenn and I like what he's been doing,
Speaker 1: but I don't know.
Speaker 3: Also got the Giants this year, the Raiders, the Panthers, Browns.
Speaker 1: They wait, wait, so what divisions do they have?
Speaker 2: They have the South.
Speaker 1: NFC South, a f C wes no, no, no, so
Speaker 1: what what ah Ravens bills be.
Speaker 2: So Ravens built.
Speaker 1: So they have the South for a FC South because
Speaker 1: they got the Browns and the Ravens. And then what's
Speaker 1: the other division? What are the other teams? Bucksts, South Giants,
Speaker 1: So you have both the Souths. Yeah, so you're getting
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bucks are going to be good on
Speaker 1: those Panthers. They they just had a sneaky foundational year.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a good year, but it's a foundational
Speaker 1: year where they they were a dangerous team and Bryce
Speaker 1: Young is starting to look good. Who else you got
Speaker 1: Bucks Atlanta, They're gonna be kind of hot. Well, it's
Speaker 1: still question Markuee because are they going to be that
Speaker 1: much better with Pennix when they needed Really they couldn't
Speaker 1: stop anyone right, and the offensive line was kind of
Speaker 1: I like Pennix.
Speaker 2: Though, I just didn't like that move.
Speaker 3: So they're playing the AFC North, the North and the South, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then NFC South and then they got the Raiders
Speaker 3: as the like seventeenth game.
Speaker 1: Well because their last pick or wherever they finished in
Speaker 1: the vision, they play those other two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're three, and then this is the new seventeenth game, Raiders,
Speaker 3: Josh McDaniels, Revenge Game Josh McDaniels.
Speaker 2: So no more coaching Raiders, no more coaching for now,
Speaker 2: for now, for now, you know, it's it. It was
Speaker 2: a great experience and I got to see the you know,
Speaker 2: the sport from a different side. What'd you learn?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's cutthroat in there.
Speaker 2: I mean in terms of evaluating players and and and
Speaker 2: and really just looking at every hole and everybody's uh game.
Speaker 2: Like you try to uh do the most you can
Speaker 2: as a coach, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: it's all it all comes down to being a player.
Speaker 2: I loved coaching, you know, it took up a lot
Speaker 2: of time. Uh and and and as a as a
Speaker 2: as a job, it's a little unstable in terms of
Speaker 2: unless you have the continuity of you know, the head
Speaker 2: coach being there for a number of years. It's a
Speaker 2: little bit unstable as a as a job profession. And
Speaker 2: I sure as hell love floating in my pool on
Speaker 2: Sunday and drinking Margarita's.
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do about the Instagram?
Speaker 1: Though, I know I'm gonna have to get uh get
Speaker 1: no more games to get some game day shot. Just
Speaker 1: we should do a danny An Doola page dedicated to
Speaker 1: just tunnel shots and we move you each week to
Speaker 1: a different tunnel and you take the tunnel shot like this.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Flat Stanley, Damn Daniel, remember that whole guy. We just
Speaker 1: do a Damn Daniel every time doing a tunnel walk
Speaker 1: in like somewhere like he's playing, but he's really coaching,
Speaker 1: but he's not even doing both.
Speaker 3: A lot of stadiums and a lot of high school studiums.

Speaker 2: mean Hard Knocks does a great job. You don't ever
Speaker 2: really notice them and Camp obviously you'll have like a
Speaker 2: couple Master interviews once a week they'll bring in there,
Speaker 2: but it's it's on you know, football time, where it's
Speaker 2: like it kind of blends in really nicely. They don't
Speaker 2: They don't get in the way at all. They do
Speaker 2: a great job. I think I love watching Hard Knocks.
Speaker 2: What's Jerry Jones like? He was cool?
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: I didn't really talk to him other than when he
Speaker 2: cut me, and I didn't say anything, but yes, sir, uh. So,

Speaker 2: in his office usually it's not good.
Speaker 1: Who was the coach that you you hung around? Did
Speaker 1: you have a coach that like talcked you off the ledge.
Speaker 1: You're a rookie trying to make the Dallas Cowboys when
Speaker 1: they're you know, they were still they were the doubt
Speaker 1: they're the Dallas Cowboys, right, your Texas kid? Who was
Speaker 1: the guy that so?
Speaker 2: I mean, I was on practice squad so Wes Phillips
Speaker 2: Waits Wade's son ran the practice squad team. You know,
Speaker 2: I was going up against Pac Man and Terence Newman,
Speaker 2: you know, and and Roy Williams every single day, and
Speaker 2: and and trying to compete my ass off every single day,
Speaker 2: try to make as many plays as possible, try to
Speaker 2: get better and try to make the team. Every single day.
Speaker 2: I had a lot to prove as a young player,
Speaker 2: and Wes Phillips was somebody that that really brought me
Speaker 2: along and and and kind of you know, you know,
Speaker 2: helped me transform. Shout out has bro uh to from
Speaker 2: the college player to to an NFL player?
Speaker 1: Is this really America's team? I mean, do you guys

Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing like winning Super Bowls for the Patriots,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying like that, that's that's you know,
Speaker 1: in my mind, could possibly be America's team, so to speak.
Speaker 2: But you know it's up to America to decide. Did
Speaker 2: t O ever give you any advice? TiO is great
Speaker 2: for me. He practiced so hard. Just watching him every
Speaker 2: single day. He worked his ass off from the minute
Speaker 2: he ran out of the locker room to the practice field.
Speaker 1: He was one hundred percent every day. He really, he
Speaker 1: really put it out there. Do you think that he
Speaker 1: learned that from Jerry I think, yeah he had to.
Speaker 1: I mean because they're both small school guys, right, and
Speaker 1: if you're around Jerry Rice, yeah you're a rookie, right,
Speaker 1: like you had to keep your standard up and then
Speaker 1: you he became obsessed with it on his own. He's
Speaker 1: got any those guys, you know you got obsessions, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: obsessed with.
Speaker 2: Your t O was obsessed with his craft, for sure.
Speaker 2: I could definitely see a lot of Jerry and him
Speaker 2: and kind of the pedigree that Jerry has produced. I mean,
Speaker 2: I know they played for a handful of years and
Speaker 2: San France together.
Speaker 1: Yeah. On Jerry Rice day, fucking Teo broke the record.

Speaker 2: then you have another practice to get ready for. So
Speaker 2: you're just pounding liquids and trying to get ready for
Speaker 2: the next practice, and so you're losing ten pounds of practice.
Speaker 1: Is a lot of work, especially for a low body,
Speaker 1: fat guy. Yeah, honestly, geez.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What was it like playing for the Dallas Cowboys as
Speaker 1: a Texas kid?
Speaker 2: You remember you remember those as a young kid, you
Speaker 2: have those like fake helmets, the Hutch helmets.
Speaker 6: I had.
Speaker 2: I had a Cowboys helmet. It was my first like
Speaker 2: fake like like football toy was a Dallas Cowboys helmet.
Speaker 2: Uh that would transform into a an autobot.
Speaker 1: Now when you signed with Dallas, how many of your
Speaker 1: friends hit you up like yo, can you get and
Speaker 1: you're like, were probably stressed out, like I'm not.
Speaker 3: Making this team, or well, funny, funny story, dude.
Speaker 2: I so I was getting ready for the I was
Speaker 2: I just I just, you know, finished my senior year
Speaker 2: in college. I was in My brother lived in Dallas
Speaker 2: at the time. I went from Lubbock, Texas where Texas
Speaker 2: Tech is, to Dallas to play in a flag football game.
Speaker 2: And Troy Eateman was there, and Roger Stalbauch's kid was there,
Speaker 2: and we're just at.
Speaker 3: SMU, just throwing the ball around.
Speaker 2: And I remember we were doing like some you know,
Speaker 2: like three on three, four on four type stuff, and
Speaker 2: I ran a post and and uh and and Troy
Speaker 2: Aightman through the through the ball.
Speaker 3: Over my head.
Speaker 2: I ended up having a one handed catch like a
Speaker 2: post for like a touchdown. And then Roger Stablach saw
Speaker 2: that and he was like, dude, you're coming out of college.
Speaker 2: We were going to try to you know, we're I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do my best. And then next thing, you know,
Speaker 2: the draft goes around and I don't get drafted, and
Speaker 2: then the Cowboys call and they're like we were We're
Speaker 2: aware of you, uh, and we want to sign you
Speaker 2: to our practice squad. And I'm like, perfect, let's go.
Speaker 2: And that's really how I got to Dallas. I remember
Speaker 2: at our like Dallas Cowboys banquet, I was undrafted, you know,
Speaker 2: rookie nobody gave a shit about. And I went over
Speaker 2: to Roger Stallbach gave him a big hug and I
Speaker 2: was like, thank you, man, I appreciate it. And Roger,
Speaker 2: Roger's still great to my family and and and we're
Speaker 2: still in communications. He signed a football for me and stuff.
Speaker 2: So that's really how I kind of got in the
Speaker 2: door in Dallas. So, you know, if it wasn't for
Speaker 2: that day, just kind of going out to SMU and
Speaker 2: and and working on stuff with with you know, the
Speaker 2: ex Cowboy players. It was in a paint off.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is awesome. Star Gottla gret great man. Guy

Speaker 3: Yeah, legend.
Speaker 1: He's a badass legend. Yeah, he's a badass man. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a man. All right, Jack, let's rip through this game.
Speaker 1: You want to get through this one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, real fast?
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I thought we'd spend a little wit go
Speaker 1: play by play, drive by drive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so leading starting off with the opening kickoff, we
Speaker 3: couldn't even find the box score online. We had to
Speaker 3: hit up your Jarrett from Fox and he sent us
Speaker 3: over a little thing.
Speaker 4: Oh we dug deep, baby, Yeah, we dug deep. We
Speaker 4: will rip through this thing. This is the third game
Speaker 4: of the preseason, which in the time, I don't want
Speaker 4: to say the olden days with this meant Starters played
Speaker 4: right right the big game. Yeah, we're coming into this thing.
Speaker 4: Oh and two we mean the Cowboys Texans two and oher.
Speaker 4: This was a fourth episode of Hard Knocks. If you're
Speaker 4: charting it by HBO series progression.
Speaker 2: You're you're tracking it by that.
Speaker 1: Starters played pretty much the first half.
Speaker 4: Romo and Dallas dominated the Texans starters for the most part,
Speaker 4: up twenty to ten.
Speaker 1: At the half. Marion Barber was running wild.
Speaker 4: You got some some big Patrick Creighton plays TD in
Speaker 4: the first Romo picked though not great.
Speaker 1: Twenty ten and a half. Moving in to the second half, when.
Speaker 4: The starters got pulled, we had a classic Sage Rosenfels.
Speaker 1: Matt Shab combo comeback.
Speaker 4: This game ends with Sage Rosenfeld going airborne over the
Speaker 4: goal line.
Speaker 1: About getting hepter.
Speaker 4: In there to bring it to a twenty three to
Speaker 4: twenty two game. Say hey, we're trying to win this thing,
Speaker 4: ye go for two conversion fails. Well, I always end
Speaker 4: up winning twenty three twenty two. They hold him off
Speaker 4: to take the Governor's Cup. Nick Folk, Nick Folk, Baby,
Speaker 4: Brad Johnson coming in here. David Anderson, Yeah, he had
Speaker 4: like sixty seventy catches, didn't he?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, old da man man beast.
Speaker 4: Dola one catch thirty five yards. Two kick returns thirty yard,
Speaker 4: thirty yards. The door was opened when Isaiah's stand back.
Speaker 4: He's trying to make a play out there opens the
Speaker 4: second half, fumble gets injured, Dola comes in, takes over,
Speaker 4: does some some good returns, had a nice thirty five
Speaker 4: yard or down the scene.
Speaker 1: Good win there in Dallas, good big win, big win
Speaker 1: in the forgotten game.
Speaker 2: This is a big win. Do you remember this game?
Speaker 2: I remember a little bit of it. I remember the catch.
Speaker 2: It was a seam route. I think it was cover three.
Speaker 2: You know, I bent it in a little bit. Again,
Speaker 2: I was a rookie.
Speaker 1: I bented in a little bit too far off off
Speaker 1: the seam and I got I took a hit, but
Speaker 1: you know, caught the ball, kept it moving. Uh, it
Speaker 1: was it was that was I think that would have
Speaker 1: been my first catch, you know, as a as an
Speaker 1: NFL player, first catch of many of many, Thank god.
Speaker 3: What's it like for a guy being like on the
Speaker 3: edge of a roster during the preseason game, Like do
Speaker 3: you know you're going to be playing a little bit
Speaker 3: or is it like totally a yeah, you know?
Speaker 2: You know again, we kind of touched on this earlier.
Speaker 2: The third The third game is usual when the starters
Speaker 2: played the first half and then you know, they fill
Speaker 2: in everybody else of the rest of the fourth game
Speaker 2: is really a barn stormer for the undrafted guys in
Speaker 2: the late.
Speaker 1: Round guys, because you're gonna be playing the whole game
Speaker 1: in the rest of you know, you guys know this,
Speaker 1: but you know it's as a as a guy that's
Speaker 1: just hanging on, Like I played. I remember playing this
Speaker 1: game and then the following game, the fourth preseason game,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, that's probably that could possibly
Speaker 1: be the last fotball game I ever play. And it's
Speaker 1: just kind of up to you know, the coaches, the evaluators,
Speaker 1: you know, how they feel about me as a player
Speaker 1: or progression potential whatsoever. And and but I remember, you
Speaker 1: know this, this could possibly be my last my last
Speaker 1: football game. Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The one thing going back to it and rewatching and
Speaker 4: going deep on hard knots, like can you break down
Speaker 4: a dichotomy for us of like vets are chilling, laughing,
Speaker 4: wearing sweatpants, and like you guys are like fighting tooth
Speaker 4: and nail, Like, what is that like on the sideline.
Speaker 2: It's it's full, It's it's so stressful. You got to
Speaker 2: learn the playbook, you got to learn you know, the
Speaker 2: ins and outs of your position. Uh, you know, you're
Speaker 2: you're you're trying to do everything right. You know, you're
Speaker 2: trying to you know, I had to get t O's
Speaker 2: coffee every Thursday, Like I'm like trying, you know. Like
Speaker 2: it's it's just like being being a you know, being
Speaker 2: a rookie is hard.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I'm not drafted rookie even worse, you're the lowest man
Speaker 2: on the totem pole. It's like you look behind you
Speaker 2: and there's nobody else, and and it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: you're liable to you walk up in the in the
Speaker 2: locker room every single day and you're like, thank god,
Speaker 2: my name is still on this locker you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it's a very stressful it's a very
Speaker 2: stressful time.
Speaker 4: And it was funny on Hard Knocks they showed like
Speaker 4: like you coming back to the sidelines after making that
Speaker 4: big catch, and like Tony Romer was like yelling out
Speaker 4: his pizza order to some guy like down the sideline, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like what exactly? Yeah, I mean I've been on
Speaker 2: I've been on both ends. I've been on both ends
Speaker 2: of the spectrum. I really think, you know, as a
Speaker 2: as a player, that formed me though, like that, that
Speaker 2: put that put a chip on my shoulder every single day.
Speaker 2: I'll never forget, you know, not getting drafted. You know,
Speaker 2: I'll never forget the you know, the adversity I had
Speaker 2: to face as a rookie and and and really into
Speaker 2: my second year training camp with Philadelphia, like and and
Speaker 2: that's really what that's the chip that I put on
Speaker 2: my shoulder and played with for the rest of my
Speaker 2: career because I know what it's like to be at
Speaker 2: the at the very very bottom.
Speaker 3: Do you remember, was there ever a moment you felt
Speaker 3: like you could like take a breath and not have
Speaker 3: to worry day to day about being on the actual
Speaker 3: team and focus on actually performing.
Speaker 2: Later in my career. You know, I've when I when
Speaker 2: i've kind when I knew I established a role on
Speaker 2: the team and where I kind of stood again, you
Speaker 2: never want to get comfortable in the NFL, And I
Speaker 2: never felt comfortable. But but as soon as you you know,
Speaker 2: obviously guaranteed money, if they owe a lot of money,
Speaker 2: you're most likely going to be around and and and
Speaker 2: if you kind of form an identity or a role
Speaker 2: on the team and you feel you know, you feel
Speaker 2: like you you know, if you make the team better
Speaker 2: or not, they want to keep you, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: the more power to you. But never get comfortable, And
Speaker 2: then you know it's that's really the mo of the NFL.
Speaker 2: And you can always look at the paycheck. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: once you're not making a lot like undrafted seventh round guy,
Speaker 2: you're making eight million bucks, this year, they are cut
Speaker 2: you out. You're getting Yeah, they' gett They're not gonna.
Speaker 1: That is when that was the first time I will yeah,
Speaker 1: like I'm not giddy cutcause when I saw that page,
Speaker 1: Oh they cutting me down. Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 3: Jeck even quicker on this aftermath.
Speaker 1: I can't talk about Kevin Walter's big day. He led,
Speaker 1: they had six catches man, he led whole receivers.
Speaker 2: Shout out Kevin Walter.
Speaker 4: Baby Danny would be cut on August thirtieth, then resigned
Speaker 4: to the practice squad.
Speaker 1: As all you Hard Knock fans saw there in Jerry's office.
Speaker 4: Dola would spend the two thousand and eight season on
Speaker 4: Dallas practice squad. Dallas finished nine and seven, missed the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Houston eight and eight also missed the playoffs. S I
Speaker 4: would name this season of Hard Knock's number one on
Speaker 4: their top ten seasons list. So this was Dola was
Speaker 4: the fan favorite of the most watched, fan favorite, most
Speaker 4: beloved season.
Speaker 1: That's saying something and they did you know what after
Speaker 1: knowing you and then watching this, they got you pretty
Speaker 1: dialed of who you are. Yeah, like when even when
Speaker 1: you saw the high stressed situations meeting the owner. Danny's
Speaker 1: always been a calm, cool, collect like a yeah, thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: I just got cut like he always his his givea
Speaker 1: fox on everything to me like an outsider looking into
Speaker 1: his He has always been like fuck it, we'll.
Speaker 2: Just move on. It's always worked and you saw that
Speaker 2: through that now he works his ass off.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like whenever anything happens to Danny, which
Speaker 1: you saw on Hard Knocks, like he just always has
Speaker 1: like a calm cool like yes, sir, like a calm
Speaker 1: demeanor at all at all of dust and it showed it.
Speaker 4: Oh, that definitely did out eating eating outside with your boy,
Speaker 4: getting the call from me on whatever.
Speaker 3: Some of the narration did you kind of dirty? Though
Speaker 3: frequently trivor there was like a like a pun he
Speaker 3: said was like time is getting short? What was it exactly?
Speaker 3: The long and short of it is is short?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 3: It probably won't be on this too much. Jesus Christ
Speaker 3: makes his story.
Speaker 4: You get out here and want to rip out, freaking
Speaker 4: leeb driver, run a whip route, Run a whip route.
Speaker 3: They edited like a week over week. Could you tell
Speaker 3: because you weren't really a part of episode one and two?
Speaker 3: Did you feel that they were putting you in the
Speaker 3: story more and more and like people texting you or
Speaker 3: anything like that.
Speaker 2: I had no idea. I watched it in real time
Speaker 2: and I would know, you know, they did. They did
Speaker 2: a couple of interviews with a handful of guys, and
Speaker 2: you never really know until it came out that week, So.
Speaker 1: You didn't know like how you were doing, like say,
Speaker 1: you're balling out in training camp practices, and then you
Speaker 1: started getting more interviews from Yeah, you didn't get.
Speaker 2: That a little bit, a little bit, but I mean,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it was under my
Speaker 2: impression that they were, you know, interviewing a lot of people,
Speaker 2: and they're you know, filtering guys in for you know,
Speaker 2: different interview roles or whatever. And but you know, when
Speaker 2: they started playing you know, you know, more footage.
Speaker 3: Of me each week.
Speaker 2: I you know, he kind of picks up, like people
Speaker 2: were texting me and shit, now to put a bow
Speaker 2: on this.
Speaker 1: And score it, which I'm I'm pretty sure it's going
Speaker 1: to score terribly as it should. Did Danny Amondola when
Speaker 1: he was in Jerry Jones' office on live TV, not
Speaker 1: live TV but cut up, scripted TV whatever. This TV
Speaker 1: is did you realize that that was just the start? Oh,
Speaker 1: your reality TV career? What the back nine of that
Speaker 1: question got me.
Speaker 2: Is the start?
Speaker 3: You think about it?

Speaker 1: Out of planes on fucking Soldier one and then he's
Speaker 1: doing the box trot over like my main my main.
Speaker 2: Goal is just to do fun shit with cool people
Speaker 2: like that, and I think all of those, all those
Speaker 2: opportunities kind of fit in that box.

Speaker 3: Oh this might be redundant, but let's.
Speaker 6: There you go. My question is more so for Danny
Speaker 6: than Jewels. I guess I fell in love with Danny
Speaker 6: on Hard Knocks to the Dallas Cowboys man just being
Speaker 6: then undersized work horse. What are some of the things
Speaker 6: you loved from all the different facilities and teams you
Speaker 6: were on versus just being on one team and being
Speaker 6: the same facility forever.
Speaker 2: Thanks, good question. Who is the best facilities?
Speaker 1: All of them?
Speaker 2: And they they're all relatively the same. They have, you know,
Speaker 2: the weight room, they have all the best. Every team
Speaker 2: has top of the line equipment, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: And you know, get them a sus, get a couple
Speaker 2: of trainers, and then you know you're good to go. So,
Speaker 2: I mean, all the team's facilities are pretty good.
Speaker 1: Who had the longest halways?
Speaker 2: Oh shit, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: We were watching that Hard Knock like man, all these
Speaker 1: hallways are so long that you have to walk in
Speaker 1: football facilities and there's so it's a dark place when
Speaker 1: you're young players. There's no windows, no windows.
Speaker 3: I just had a thought when we were watching it.
Speaker 3: In the scene where you had with Jerry Jones, was
Speaker 3: that an Oxnard.
Speaker 2: Or is that back in Dallas. That was back in
Speaker 2: Dallas when we came back for cuts.
Speaker 3: Because he had all the Lombardi trophies. When Jerry Jones
Speaker 3: would ship the Lombardi trophies for his office and ox.
Speaker 4: Between games, you guys would practice, it would be training
Speaker 4: game in Oxnard. If there was a game, would you
Speaker 4: fly back for the game then go back to Oxnard?
Speaker 1: No, we would. Uh we were so we had we
Speaker 1: lived at the Residents in there in ox nerd That's
Speaker 1: where our camp was, uh, the and then we had
Speaker 1: two or three fields there as well. So what would
Speaker 1: you do when you had a preseason game?
Speaker 2: We would The first game we took the train down
Speaker 2: to San Diego and played them.
Speaker 3: Oh that's fun. Yeah, welcome on train. Beautiful.
Speaker 2: The second game, I actually think you're right. I think
Speaker 2: we went back to Oxnard for another week and then
Speaker 2: we moved camp down and finished the last two weeks
Speaker 2: games Dallas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes more sense, logistics talk. That's a good question. Thanks,
Speaker 1: great question.
Speaker 2: Great question.
Speaker 5: Hi Julian Jack, you're back, and Tyler and all the

Speaker 1: John Candy from Cool Running. I mean, you think of
Speaker 1: you gotta think track and field if you're thinking Olympics.
Speaker 1: I want to do what the Greeks were doing back
Speaker 1: The purist of the pure.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, yo games with names.
Speaker 6: This is Chris from Houston.
Speaker 2: This question is my boy Danny. Danny, Hey, are you
Speaker 2: taller than jewels?
Speaker 6: And out of you too, which one's faster?
Speaker 2: Let me know from that's.
Speaker 1: Wow, is taller than me, But I'm faster than him.
Speaker 1: I have like like a hair taller than him. No,
Speaker 1: but you kind of look taller than and I stipp
Speaker 1: I look, I'm on my tiptoes and every picture we take,
Speaker 1: so I kind of prove prove No, he's he's the
Speaker 1: true he's like a five to eleven. I'm five ten
Speaker 1: and a fourth guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like five ten and a half. But I
Speaker 2: mean he's counting when you're faster and faster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was faster about that short area of quickness.
Speaker 5: And just.
Speaker 2: Fast.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was pretty quick too. Yeah, three gone three.
Speaker 1: Gune del Dola had he had a thing where he
Speaker 1: could ron, like he could run full speed into his
Speaker 1: incut because they r thing is he I learned how
Speaker 1: to run routes in a different offense. Yeah, he's been
Speaker 1: running routes his whole life. And then he went to
Speaker 1: the West coast where everything steps. Yeah, so like I
Speaker 1: would see a lot of stuff that I wasn't accustomed
Speaker 1: to seeing in our system from Danny, and that you know,
Speaker 1: then you evolve your you know you always you're always
Speaker 1: taking from people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what does that?
Speaker 3: What does that mean? With steps?
Speaker 1: Like all the time he would roll full speed, he
Speaker 1: would run full speed and just keep running full speed
Speaker 1: and like turn.
Speaker 2: It's like a speed cut versus like a breakdown. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I can breakdown.
Speaker 3: Cut interesting a dola.
Speaker 5: It's twenty eight to three two point conversion falls coming
Speaker 5: to you.
Speaker 6: What's going to your head?
Speaker 1: Fucking we're scoring a touchdown? Yeah, maybe, puddy, we're score
Speaker 1: getting in the end zone. We're going to tie this
Speaker 1: bitch up.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: No, I was thinking, what don't don't I that play?
Speaker 1: I'm specifically thinking, don't get a PI because yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't hit, you can't block him until he has the ball.
Speaker 3: And they're a man.
Speaker 2: A man covers if they jam you on that play,
Speaker 2: if they would have jammed him, or they would have
Speaker 2: made some sort of illegal contact, it could have been
Speaker 2: called back. It could have been called back. But you know,
Speaker 2: they jumped up Freeney jumped off sides, and.
Speaker 1: I know, but I thought, that's what we got this
Speaker 1: penalty for r is for us picking right, I got it.
Speaker 1: So I was like, fuck you, like you see me
Speaker 1: right after me scoring, it's it's it's not on me, Okay,
Speaker 1: fuck yeah?
Speaker 7: How many times in a game on average you have
Speaker 7: to like fuck you every play? Yeah, even when he's.
Speaker 2: On, even when it's good, it's fuck you, even when
Speaker 2: the even when the defense.
Speaker 6: Hi. This is Nicole from Westfield, Massachusetts super fan. My
Speaker 6: question is what was your go to food after a
Speaker 6: football game and what is your favorite restaurant in the
Speaker 6: Boston area to go to when you are back home.
Speaker 2: I have a great day, O, great question. When I
Speaker 2: love Aria shout out Massimo in the in in the
Speaker 2: North End. Great Italian food, all home cooked recipes from
Speaker 2: his mother.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: Great great food, great energy, great vibe Aria. Uh and
Speaker 2: after the game anything I want. I'm so depleted at
Speaker 2: that point, Like I could eat a freaking you know,
Speaker 2: fried chickens, honey buttered chicken biscuit I I want.
Speaker 1: The thing is, after every game we had the same
Speaker 1: type of food at home. There was always like a
Speaker 1: southern barbecue, Southern comfort type food. So you'd have a brisket,
Speaker 1: you have chicken, fried Chicken. You'd have Collie Greens because
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys are from the South, right,
Speaker 1: you know, most of the teams from the South, so
Speaker 1: we'd have that. And then you'd have specialty stuff every
Speaker 1: away trip. So like if you're in New York, you
Speaker 1: get the Triple Deck or sandwiches from the deli. You
Speaker 1: go to fucking Kansas City, you get their style barbecue.
Speaker 1: You're in California, they may have tacos before you get
Speaker 1: on the plane or whatever, so you're eating whatever. Right
Speaker 1: restaurant in Boston. I love uh Aria is good. I
Speaker 1: like Demonica's in the North End. YEP, shout out, shout
Speaker 1: out for Frankie and po Fanky, Frankie and Potto. I
Speaker 1: love Frankie and Poto, Frankie and Poto. And then I
Speaker 1: liked Renos a lot too over in East bust And
Speaker 1: I think they have the best lobster ravioli. They got
Speaker 1: to get lobster ravioli and it's in the East Boston,
Speaker 1: so it's a It's kind of like whenever you want
Speaker 1: Italian in Boston, everyone goes North End, but like the
Speaker 1: real townies go to like go to like the the
Speaker 1: little neighborhood spots that are like with the locals. You know,
Speaker 1: you go to like the Summerville's and you know there's
Speaker 1: always like the place that's been there forever, which all
Speaker 1: those places in North End have too. But if you
Speaker 1: want a little different, yeah, you know, I go there
Speaker 1: and then what was our boy Straga? You know we
Speaker 1: used to go to Strago a bunch. You can never
Speaker 1: go wrong with any of the Italian in the North End. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we go to certain places where it'd be
Speaker 1: kind of quiet and chill before.
Speaker 2: How's the food and providence? And the food and providence
Speaker 2: is amazing. Johnson and Wales is there. Obviously they have
Speaker 2: Browns right there on there. So there's a lot of like, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, young entrepreneurial chefs out there trying to make
Speaker 2: a good product and and they haven't really gotten off
Speaker 2: the ground yet, so you can catch a lot of
Speaker 2: great stuff.
Speaker 1: You might have a hot take here, But I think
Speaker 1: Federal Hill has better Italian than than the North End.
Speaker 2: It's hard, it's not there.
Speaker 1: Constantines, it's not there. Constantinees wasn't on the hill, right,
Speaker 1: Sianna's not there anymore.
Speaker 2: Sianna's gone, and there. I forgot that.
Speaker 1: I remember what was Alfnos had really good it was
Speaker 1: so good, really good pizza in Providence and then Providence
Speaker 1: also you're kind of Boston is Boston Providence, You're you're
Speaker 1: getting to like New York Connecticut. So they have like
Speaker 1: they had like a really good hot dog place that
Speaker 1: I used to go to. It has like kind of
Speaker 1: a you know that one spot I went to the house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I bring the hot They always had like New York
Speaker 1: style or like that Connecticut area. They had a different
Speaker 1: influence of food or in Providence than Boston. Boston is like,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of a lot of seafood, Italian hardy.
Speaker 1: You go you go down to you know, Connecticut or Providence,
Speaker 1: there was like you get like that New York ship.
Speaker 1: Like the pizza was a little better, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, but you can't go wrong North End everywhere.
Speaker 1: What is that one oyster spot?
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 2: Neptune Neptune Oyster bar?
Speaker 1: I also love what was that uh there was a
Speaker 1: seafood joint over in uh Over, like when you cross
Speaker 1: the bridge right by.
Speaker 3: The pier something pure four.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what I'm talking about. It
Speaker 1: it's not South, it's not Seaport, it's not South Boston.
Speaker 1: It's like in between what do they call that on
Speaker 1: the points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like on like the harbor thing. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: right by the the dairy thing, like Pure thirty six
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: We used to go there.
Speaker 1: There's a number in there, ye, row thirty four. Really
Speaker 1: good seafood, Yeah, there's.
Speaker 2: I mean, I I get.
Speaker 1: I went to a new restaurant over in that New
Speaker 1: Raffles Hotel. You don't want to stay there so bad?
Speaker 3: That's what coffee? Yeah, have you been that New Raffles Hotel?
Speaker 1: Pretty cool, it's good and they have a really good
Speaker 1: rest They have a really good Italian restaurant there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm cheating on my neighborhood Italian though
Speaker 1: when I go to the fancy of that, you know,
Speaker 1: because it's kind of like a swanky Italian.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I want to go see Rocko
Speaker 2: and fucking Polli.
Speaker 3: I want to do one more, one more, one more more.
Speaker 6: Pople always do this surgery for Mexico City.
Speaker 3: I got a question for Dola.

Speaker 1: in Mexico City. So I got to know what was
Speaker 1: the best thing about your trip to Mexico City and
Speaker 1: what was the worst thing. Thanks guys, you both.
