Speaker 1: If I was playing in the seventies, eighties, and nineties era,
Speaker 1: it would be how many players does it take the
Speaker 1: tackle the groncula and it would take the whole entire team, buddy,
Speaker 1: especially in the seventies the eighties, probably just you know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't want to take anything from them in their
Speaker 3: in their generations because I have respect.
Speaker 4: That's a good way to put it.
Speaker 1: My answer was just silly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, but you are a beast. You probably will.
Speaker 4: I take it back. I would have been on the bench.

Speaker 1: some champagne app But what's the truest first thing that
Speaker 1: you do?
Speaker 3: I went to Mike and Patties Redsman Sandwich I liked.
Speaker 3: I liked their their what's their their og with It's
Speaker 3: like their housemade English muffin medium over fried egg, American cheese,
Speaker 3: sausage and a Seracha ketchup on there. I get it
Speaker 3: because it reminds me of the facility. Remember I used
Speaker 3: to get the sausage Egan cheese m That was like
Speaker 3: my first meal the day after my smoothies.
Speaker 2: It would be a sausage egan cheese.
Speaker 4: You're making me hungry for breakfast right now.
Speaker 2: I know, dude. And they cook it, Mike and patties.
Speaker 3: They cook the egg perfect, like it's an over medium,
Speaker 3: so it's like it's not like Geeson in your face
Speaker 3: when you cut it.
Speaker 4: Jesus, I'm not hungry anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes it gets sloppy when you have like
Speaker 3: an over easy egg and a burst while you take
Speaker 3: your and I'm over here having to get wet white.
Speaker 2: That's what I get.
Speaker 3: What's the first thing you get or do when you
Speaker 3: come back, Well.
Speaker 1: In the city of Boston, the first thing I typically
Speaker 1: do is drive through the city to get to your place,
Speaker 1: you know, so I get to see all the trees,
Speaker 1: how blossomed they are when the sun is out, you know,
Speaker 1: all the people crossing the street, just feel the energy
Speaker 1: of the whole city and why it's such a great city.
Speaker 1: And you actually really see why it is when you
Speaker 1: drive through the city on a nice day. I mean
Speaker 1: there's so many people outside shopping, going out to eat,
Speaker 1: you know, for lunch, dinner, whatever it is, and it's
Speaker 1: just really, really cool to see and you feel, you know,
Speaker 1: that energy of Boston strong as well. So that's the
Speaker 1: first thing that I see when I go through city
Speaker 1: because I don't live in the city, but uh, you know,
Speaker 1: and I usually get the Cowboy Ribi steak from Davio's
Speaker 1: at Patriot Place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's easy. He's close to you too.
Speaker 1: I order a curbside pickup, curbside pickup, and that's why
Speaker 1: I I still you know, I do it.
Speaker 4: You know it's a go to because I just put.
Speaker 2: The order on.
Speaker 3: It's a gronk side. What do you like And it's
Speaker 3: probably like a green you have some kind of.
Speaker 1: Green sparaguess that makes your pee stinky.
Speaker 3: You know, which is a gene by the way, Now
Speaker 3: it doesn't make everything. Not everyone smells or produces that smell.
Speaker 3: Really Yeah, it's it's a gene morph there's something that
Speaker 3: morphs in your gene that allows you.
Speaker 2: To have that.
Speaker 3: I got in a huge argument about it because I
Speaker 3: read about it. Well, I didn't read about it.
Speaker 1: I saw scientific evidence by Julian Attelman. TikTok scientific evidence
Speaker 1: by Julian Atolman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, TikTok about asparagus. TikTok source I think peace smell
Speaker 2: or not. Yeah, only if you have the gene and
Speaker 2: then once your start, I have the gene.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a potato guy, but like garlic mashed potatoes.
Speaker 3: Garlic mash now like a grotten what's in the gratten?
Speaker 3: The grattens where they like scallop the potatoes and then
Speaker 3: they saute them and then they put the cheese and
Speaker 3: like the creaminess in it, and then they go and
Speaker 3: bake it. So it's like like the thin potatoes.
Speaker 1: So kind of like a twice baked potato.
Speaker 3: No, twice baked potatoes where they carve it out and
Speaker 3: they mash it and then they put in all the
Speaker 3: juices and then they put it back in the skin.
Speaker 3: This is they scallop the potato, so they thinly slice it.
Speaker 2: They sawtatoes.
Speaker 3: They put it in a cream cheese sauce, layer of
Speaker 3: cheese on the top, bake it and it becomes casserolely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a garlic mashed potato guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Gronk likes it.
Speaker 2: Easy. Let's get in some calls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it. Let's answer some voice mails. Voicemails
Speaker 1: these are my favorite.
Speaker 5: Hey, Jules Gonk, what was your favorite meal you would enjoy.
Speaker 1: See this is why I love these questions, love answering,
Speaker 1: like what's my favorite meal? We were just talking about
Speaker 1: our first thing that we do when we get to Boston,
Speaker 1: and it's you going to Mike and Patty's Breakfast Spy
Speaker 1: and ordering a sandwich, and I'm going to Davio's place
Speaker 1: and ordering the Cowboy Ribbi for curbside pickup. While this
Speaker 1: guy wants to know what our favorite meal was after
Speaker 1: a game after game, and I would say whatever the
Speaker 1: spread was that the Newingham Patriots was providing, you know,
Speaker 1: because after a game, you can bring your family and
Speaker 1: friends in, you know, in like inside the tunnel tunnel
Speaker 1: to meet them after the game, you know, to see
Speaker 1: your family and friends.
Speaker 4: And then they would have this huge.
Speaker 1: Spread the new Engham Patriots would provide and there would
Speaker 1: be burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders with barbecue sauce, ranch, honey, mustard,
Speaker 1: whatever sauce you want with those chicken tuenders, all tons
Speaker 1: of drinks that were lined up, you know as well, they.
Speaker 3: Always had a Southern kind of food. There was always
Speaker 3: like because a lot of the guys come from the South,
Speaker 3: so there was brisket, there was fried chicken, there'd be
Speaker 3: like beans, and there'd be callie greens, and then they
Speaker 3: have like the whiter stuff.
Speaker 2: They'd be like.
Speaker 3: Broccoli and like chicken fingers and like roasted barbecue burgers
Speaker 3: and hot.
Speaker 2: Dog you know.
Speaker 3: So like they hit a little bit of everything. You know,
Speaker 3: you got the soul food and then you had like,
Speaker 3: you know, the.
Speaker 2: White food.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you got you got hip both parties, right,
Speaker 1: you got hip, both party got it.
Speaker 4: The Patriots did not discriminate.
Speaker 2: They did not discriminate on food.
Speaker 4: So I now the quality of the food actually, yeah,
Speaker 4: you're right. The quality of this food was.
Speaker 1: Actually perfect for the quality that you wanted after a game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, put it down.
Speaker 2: It's comfort food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to try to eat at like
Speaker 1: a Tom Brady meal after a football game. No, it's
Speaker 1: hard to put down, you know, all the emotions, the hits.
Speaker 1: You want to put down a cheeseburger with ketchup at mayonnaise.
Speaker 1: But my favorite thing to do was take those chicken
Speaker 1: tenders and just dunk them in as much barbecue sauce
Speaker 1: that you possibly could and as much ranch or blue
Speaker 1: cheese as you possibly could. And that was my favorite
Speaker 1: co two meal after a game. Was those chicken tenders.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember Gronk usually would take like four boxes
Speaker 3: of the chicken fingers back to his house. I would,
Speaker 3: and like you would go to his house after the
Speaker 3: game and there would be a spread of what we
Speaker 3: had a spread of at the post game. Hey, guys
Speaker 3: want some chicken fingers, So I'd say the chicken fingers too,
Speaker 3: Rob Let's go to the next question.
Speaker 2: Look at the look at the speaker.
Speaker 1: Oh where, Oh, no way, no way, Jose. I love
Speaker 1: that color too, like that light blue.
Speaker 4: What kind of blue is this?
Speaker 2: That's I think that is Carolina blue.
Speaker 4: Carolina blue.
Speaker 1: It like really shines, like I would look really good
Speaker 1: with a T shirt that is this color.
Speaker 2: It would bring out your eyes would and your tan
Speaker 2: so look good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you light for this wonderful cooler with
Speaker 1: speakers on it.
Speaker 2: That's always the best.
Speaker 6: What's up, Gronk and Jules. This is Greg from Delaware,
Speaker 6: big Pats fan and even bigger fan of the Dudes
Speaker 6: on Dudes podcast. So I was wondering with Josh McDaniels
Speaker 6: back at offensive coordinator, who's definitely a whiz by the way,
Speaker 6: I was wondering if you guys could speak to any
Speaker 6: qualities that it takes to play in a Josh McDaniels offense,
Speaker 6: and any any qualities to look out for with the
Speaker 6: NFL Draft coming up, if there's any type of qualities
Speaker 6: you would see in a rookie.
Speaker 1: Well, before you start answering this question, Julian, I'm going
Speaker 1: to leave this one for you, well, majority of it.
Speaker 1: But he's a big Patriots fan and he's even a
Speaker 1: bigger fan of the Dudes on Dudes podcast. So we
Speaker 1: made it, brother, We made it. We made it because
Speaker 1: he's Patriot fans. They're big fans. Yeah, they're all in
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, so that means they're all in with
Speaker 1: Dudes on Dudes.
Speaker 4: So we appreciate you, brother, Thank you, Thank you. Greg.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say a good prerequisite to have as
Speaker 3: a personality or a player in Josh's system is being
Speaker 3: a smart, tough football player that performs under pressure. That's
Speaker 3: what he's gonna preach. You know, if you can remember
Speaker 3: your formations, if you're a smart guy, you could you
Speaker 3: can be a versatile guy. You could play multiple positions,
Speaker 3: which you get that vibe out of Hendrickson in the
Speaker 3: second round that they drafted a guy that could play
Speaker 3: that third down running back, pick up protections, put him
Speaker 3: out in the Kevin Falks spots in the slot in
Speaker 3: the past game on those Tiger formations and stuff like.
Speaker 3: I think Josh is gonna be great for that. So
Speaker 3: like being a tough guy that's smart, that knows how
Speaker 3: to get on the same page with Josh. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's not rocket science, but you just can't. You just
Speaker 3: got to be able to take in the install which
Speaker 3: I'm excited.
Speaker 7: M hm.
Speaker 4: You hit it right on the nose. Brother.
Speaker 1: And one other thing is that he gives everyone an
Speaker 1: opportunity to shine and show case your skills. So when
Speaker 1: you get that opportunity, especially if you're an undrafted free
Speaker 1: agent or if you're like a seventh round or sixth rounder,
Speaker 1: you got to shine in those opportunities. And if you
Speaker 1: don't shine in those opportunities, it's going to be the
Speaker 1: next man up. And he's gonna let you know that too,
Speaker 1: So make sure you take advantage of those opportunities. That's
Speaker 1: what you did, Julian, That's what I did. And you
Speaker 1: got to be consistent as well out there on the
Speaker 1: football field. He loves consistent players.
Speaker 3: But he's going to give you an opportunity, and it's
Speaker 3: going to be one of your strengths. You know, you
Speaker 3: may only get that nugget once or twice. Whatever your
Speaker 3: your strength is and your route, type of route you run,
Speaker 3: or your quickness or your.
Speaker 2: Lung, he's going to give you that.
Speaker 3: You just got to make that play and that's how
Speaker 3: you continue to gain his trust. And the more plays
Speaker 3: you make, the more opportunities you get. So that's what
Speaker 3: I think. Smart, tough football players perform under pressure.
Speaker 4: Amen.
Speaker 8: How about this new hope being from Chicago, I mean,
Speaker 8: anything but the Bears hopes this season?
Speaker 7: Yo?
Speaker 2: When when I found out when the smoke comes out? Right?
Speaker 3: Is that the smoke came out? That's right with the
Speaker 3: little pigeon? I saw the video. Yeah, the smoke comes out.
Speaker 3: New Pope from Chicago. When that came out, I went
Speaker 3: down to Vegas and I put a future bet that
Speaker 3: they would make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: I mean, the.
Speaker 3: Pope went to the goddamn White Sox game back in
Speaker 3: twenty whatever.
Speaker 4: It might happen.
Speaker 3: They fucking sweeped them, didn't They swept hot them.
Speaker 4: Swept Houston. This guy's after the Pope was there Game one.
Speaker 2: It literally swept them. It's gonna literally take a pope.
Speaker 3: To make the Chicago Bears pretty good.
Speaker 1: Now they're not gonna make the super Bowl, but they're
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Because you make the playoffs, that's that's making it. That's
Speaker 3: that's big for them. That's a big step.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bears also got hope that the Pope
Speaker 1: is praying for them every single day as well.
Speaker 4: So that's behind them. I mean, thump Bears, dump Bears, Bears.
Speaker 1: The mice be playoff decency because of the Pope.
Speaker 2: They gotta pope before they got a four thousand yard passer.
Speaker 1: Huh, they sure did.
Speaker 2: Things are looking up.
Speaker 3: They got they got Johnson, they got a couple of linemen,
Speaker 3: they got the Pope.
Speaker 2: Look, this is the Barrett season.
Speaker 1: They're hoping that Cal makes that second year step.
Speaker 3: This is if there's any step to be made. I'm
Speaker 3: banking that the Pope. You got the Pope. You don't
Speaker 3: even have to be Catholic.
Speaker 4: All your money on the Bears making the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, hope everyone goes and puts all their
Speaker 3: buddy on and they go fucking three.
Speaker 4: And while I'm going sixteen. I'm gonna back it up.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put some I did.
Speaker 3: I told you I saw the pigeon video of smoke
Speaker 3: from the Vatican. I saw I've been there.
Speaker 2: I've seen it. I saw a little dudes touching.
Speaker 4: Well, we're gonna be rich.
Speaker 2: Next question, all right.
Speaker 9: All right, so let me get right down to business here,
Speaker 9: greatest tight end, whoever stepped foot on the grid iron jewels,
Speaker 9: the greatest catch that need a super Bowl foot of
Speaker 9: all time, blue guy, slot guy, nasty player, so non
Speaker 9: football ready. Question yet, what is the worst circumstance either
Speaker 9: of you have that to take shit in? Because honestly,
Speaker 9: I just woke up. I got one motor into the
Speaker 9: chamber here, and I think it's going to be a band.
Speaker 9: All right, so let's take it easy to keep up
Speaker 9: good work.
Speaker 1: I really like this guy. I mean the props that
Speaker 1: he gave us, and then just great intro, just whatever,
Speaker 1: just totally went off the beaten path and just brought
Speaker 1: that situation up.
Speaker 2: But we were just talking about shit.
Speaker 1: We were how I just took fifteen act of wet
Speaker 1: dumps in the last two days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went to got a little second.
Speaker 1: What was going through me, But we were just talking
Speaker 1: about it before we started this show.
Speaker 4: A great question right here.
Speaker 1: But I have the perfect scenario where it's the worst
Speaker 1: place to take a dump, especially for a guy my size,
Speaker 1: and that's on an airplane in the sky. It's like
Speaker 1: truly impossible for me already to go in there and
Speaker 1: take a piss at a comfort level. I mean, my
Speaker 1: elbow is basically sticking out in the hallway of the
Speaker 1: airplane still and the door won't even close, you know
Speaker 1: how you got closed that door.
Speaker 4: For door light to go on. The light's never going
Speaker 4: on with me in there.
Speaker 1: And I had to take a dump one time, and
Speaker 1: I was praying to the Pope that he would pray
Speaker 1: for me and not the damn Chicago Bears anymore, just
Speaker 1: to get me through that situation of taking the dump
Speaker 1: on the plane.
Speaker 2: Are you Are you the worst?
Speaker 3: Are you sitting on the toilet like I gotta do
Speaker 3: this quick because people are definitely saw me go to
Speaker 3: the bathroom. They definitely saw Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker 4: Alf I don't care about that situation.
Speaker 3: So you're sitting in there as long as you can,
Speaker 3: Harry and fucking dub and Dumber blowing up the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I don't care if I am comfortable enough if someone
Speaker 1: saw me taking a dump.
Speaker 4: Whippy dippy.
Speaker 1: Do you know my buck crack has been pulled out
Speaker 1: plenty of times in games? He's not that picture on there.
Speaker 1: Google it Gronk bluck crack. While getting tackled the Baltimore
Speaker 1: Ravens playoff game, my whole ass is showing, like you know,
Speaker 1: just add a little piece of pooping there and then
Speaker 1: you see me pooping. But uh, what I worry about
Speaker 1: in that bat was my butt cheeks hitting that damn toilet.
Speaker 2: So are you hovering or do you hovering? I'm hovering,
Speaker 2: So you're doing a squat the whole time you're shooting.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what makes it really get the toilet. No, no,
Speaker 4: it's not even.
Speaker 2: Worse spatting the toilet.
Speaker 3: We usually spat your ankles, you put ta and then
Speaker 3: you put the toilet paper on.
Speaker 4: You're also worried.
Speaker 1: I spat turbulence as well while squatting over the toilet.
Speaker 4: Turbulence is a mine.
Speaker 2: Have you ever missed the ball?
Speaker 4: I never missed the ball?
Speaker 1: No, I never actually had. I only took a dump
Speaker 1: one time, and thank you to the pope. He didn't
Speaker 1: make their make any turbulence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a tough predicament to take a ship
Speaker 3: in for me. My my worst. He's got one in
Speaker 3: the chambers. He's got double dumping before ten o'clock over here.
Speaker 3: I'd say anytime you got you're on a date or
Speaker 3: something right, like a first time date. It's literally like
Speaker 3: the dumb and dumber script. That's like the worst situation,
Speaker 3: or like if you.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, babe, guys go, I just gotta go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom real quick.
Speaker 3: Or when you shot a little like you're and you
Speaker 3: don't have anywhere to take a ship.
Speaker 2: Oh that's the worst.
Speaker 3: The shot is you thought it was a fart, but
Speaker 3: it was a little shit, but you caught it. But
Speaker 3: it could be a little moist in there. Which girls
Speaker 3: hate that.
Speaker 1: Oh that Yeah, girls do hate that. They either want
Speaker 1: to they either want just a clean or they don't
Speaker 1: want no like a chart or it's wet and firety.
Speaker 4: They're like that's disgusting, Like whatever, it's just a clean,
Speaker 4: loud one.
Speaker 2: It's fine.
Speaker 4: It's fine anyway, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's manly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, charts are are bad.
Speaker 2: Short no shirts. Let's go to the last next one.
Speaker 9: Pay Jules take wrong.
Speaker 7: You know, the boys and I were shitting down here
Speaker 7: in brov. That's gonna go watch your buddy play lacrosse.
Speaker 7: You know, this kind of came across our minds. Why
Speaker 7: are manholes shaped in a circle? Like, why not a square?
Speaker 7: Why not a triangle? Let's cut the circle. I don't know,
Speaker 7: we just want to know what you guys thought. Stupid question,
Speaker 7: but oh well.
Speaker 4: What is a manhole?
Speaker 2: Why why are they circle?
Speaker 3: Becuz, dude, that's the Ninja turtles went down there and
Speaker 3: they like pizza and it looks like a pizza and
Speaker 3: they used to throw it like a pizza.
Speaker 2: Dude. It's fucking this easy. Science, Dude, I didn't even
Speaker 2: know what a manhole was. It's the sewer drained thing. Huh. Yeah,
Speaker 2: triangles because circle right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a triangle, like just want to go right?
Speaker 2: No, because that's circle of life. Dog. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 2: put a square up there?
Speaker 4: What what Julian's said?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: With the Ninja turtles, don't you remember in the Science
Speaker 1: don't you remember in the video game, they would come
Speaker 1: up and they would like throw them science, the circle
Speaker 1: on the manhole cannot fall into the hole.
Speaker 4: That's science. We'll be right back after this quick break.
Speaker 5: Hi, Gronk Jewels. This is Jos from Michigan. There's all
Speaker 5: these questions about whether one hundred humans can take on
Speaker 5: the one gorilla. How many gronks and jewels do you
Speaker 5: think it would take to take one down? And what
Speaker 5: would your strategy be? Thanks, guys, how.
Speaker 3: Many gronks and jewels? I'd say, like, are we didn't?
Speaker 3: They say the simulation would even one thousand, ten thousand
Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to do it.
Speaker 2: Are are we kidding?
Speaker 1: Ten thousand humans wouldn't be able to take that one
Speaker 1: gorilla and an AI simulation.
Speaker 2: No, how big is broken eyes? I think it.
Speaker 3: I think it would take two and one hundred gronks.
Speaker 1: To take down a gorilla. Yeah, I mean a hundred.
Speaker 1: Just normal people can't take down a gorilla. They're saying
Speaker 1: the gorilla wins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, They're like, dude, put it in the same put
Speaker 2: it in AI. Let's see what AI sounds.
Speaker 3: An average silver back, which was one of the strongest,
Speaker 3: most powerful, six two hundred, scrappy, tough, quick, gritty, but
Speaker 3: not overpoweringly strong.
Speaker 2: Oh what come on, dude, that's weak. Come on, AI,
Speaker 2: that's fucking week.
Speaker 4: I was strong.
Speaker 2: Watch the tape.
Speaker 3: One of the strongest tight ends in NFL history, Rob Greenkowski,
Speaker 3: known for absurd strength, durability, and blocking ability. So look,
Speaker 3: are they coordinated? Yes, they may be, Fewer are needed.
Speaker 3: If it's a chaotic swarm, the gorilla could take them
Speaker 3: down at one time. Do they know it's a fight
Speaker 3: till death? If yes, their NFL instincts would help, But
Speaker 3: gorillas fight to kill, not to win on points stamina.
Speaker 3: Gorillas are fast and explosive, but humans may outlast them.
Speaker 2: If it goes.
Speaker 3: Long distraction versus attack rolls. A few Edelmans distracting good.
Speaker 3: Let gronks go for joint holds or leverage. One gronk
Speaker 3: and one edman gorilla wins easily. Two gronks and three
Speaker 3: Edelmans still loses, but maybe a moral victory if they
Speaker 3: last more than ten seconds. I gronks, five Edelmans. Now
Speaker 3: it gets interesting. If gronk coordinates, tackles while Edelman distracts
Speaker 3: and gouges eyeballs, maybe they win. Ten gronks ten Edelmens
Speaker 3: enough mass and force to potentially subdu a gorilla through
Speaker 3: sheer numbers. So they're saying ten of us.
Speaker 1: Ten gronks and ten addle knuts will take down a gorilla.
Speaker 2: So gronk.
Speaker 3: So like, the first five of me are probably going
Speaker 3: to get decapitated, ripped out and fucking gallo.
Speaker 4: But that's the distraction.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But then like the second ten of me or the
Speaker 3: second five of me, if I can get on and like,
Speaker 3: because I've seen little ass like cats get on them.
Speaker 3: If I get on and I grab an eyeball and
Speaker 3: he's bite me and stuff, you gotta go.
Speaker 2: Straight for dick. Oh, you go straight. You tell your
Speaker 2: your five other ones go one goes for dick.
Speaker 1: Like we all know what a horse cock is, but like,
Speaker 1: what's a gorilla call?
Speaker 2: It's small, but it's small.
Speaker 4: So but it's a poet small.
Speaker 2: Feel does he feel dick pain? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think I think the first five means would see them.
Speaker 3: The second gorilla cock.
Speaker 1: Is only one point one inches long. All right, I'll
Speaker 1: go for it. I'll rip it right off of him
Speaker 1: while you're distracting. So if you rip that off, you
Speaker 1: gotta do what. You gotta feel pain.
Speaker 4: That would hurt. That's like, that's like his funny bone.
Speaker 2: Now we only have like how do we.
Speaker 3: You gotta get the hardest part of your You got
Speaker 3: that things hard?
Speaker 1: What would the first five of me do? So the
Speaker 1: first five of you got no where the distractions and
Speaker 1: basically demolished, and now the other five of you are
Speaker 1: on his back and just throwing a claw and ripping
Speaker 1: an eyeballs out.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's one of me going for his cock.
Speaker 1: That we already established that, But what about the other
Speaker 1: first four of me and then the last five of me?
Speaker 3: Like like, I think each one goes for extremity. Okay,
Speaker 3: if each one goes for an arm, elect everyone go
Speaker 3: for one. Mm hmm, okay, everyone go for one. Can
Speaker 3: we take a shoelace off? Because if I take shoelace
Speaker 3: off and I fucking strangle this guy, I still think
Speaker 3: we don't have a shot.
Speaker 4: No, we do. We do. It just takes a ton
Speaker 4: of us each.
Speaker 2: Dude that I think that the AI is dumb, that
Speaker 2: AI is real dumb. Let's get on the next one. Dude,
Speaker 2: I'm getting anxiety.
Speaker 8: All right, Dude, what's the craziest pregame routine you ever
Speaker 8: saw a former teammate? Have anybody have any crazy superstitions either?
Speaker 1: You know, you really don't see like your teammates routines
Speaker 1: because you're kind of really focusing what's going on, you know,
Speaker 1: with what you got to do and what your routine is,
Speaker 1: and you're getting ready for the game. I mean, you
Speaker 1: see some guys just you know, just blasting absurdly loud music.
Speaker 2: Nay, but that really that's only on practice.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, that would be practic, you're right, game day
Speaker 1: they want to allow it. So like, there really wasn't
Speaker 1: any crazy routines that I've ever seen by another former player.
Speaker 2: Nothing that stands out.
Speaker 1: No, And if there was, I mean, it was kind
Speaker 1: of like it wasn't in the public eye in the
Speaker 1: locker room. It was kind of like at home, whatever
Speaker 1: they were doing beforehand.
Speaker 3: Everyone's in the zone, man, you got yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's kind of calm before the storm.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, nothing crazy at all. Everyone would just say normal,
Speaker 1: normal routines. Everyone differs a little bit, But it wasn't
Speaker 1: anything like spectacularly crazy, like wall, look at it. Look
Speaker 1: what he's doing is just all everyone getting ready, getting
Speaker 1: in his own If I was.
Speaker 10: I was just calling in with a crazy hypothetical. Say
Speaker 10: you taking a cross country road trip? First, are you
Speaker 10: taking the northern route? Or the Southern route. Second, what
Speaker 10: vehicle would you choose? And then third, you could bring
Speaker 10: anybody with you as a companion or multiple people. Leasing
Speaker 10: who are you bringing with you? Celebrities, former teenmates, you
Speaker 10: name it, leve me.
Speaker 1: You guys, man way road tripping though, that's all I know.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna take the guys that uh we're in
Speaker 1: the movie road Trip.
Speaker 2: No no, no, that was a that was a bum
Speaker 2: is on your face. My bumm is on your face.
Speaker 3: I don't remember it that that well. I remember the
Speaker 3: bum song.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 3: Where are you going north or south?
Speaker 1: I'm going uh, I'm going uh West. It's longer south,
Speaker 1: you know, you get the Carolinas Virginia is like and then.
Speaker 4: You're in Florida already.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to go cross countries, longer,
Speaker 1: more sustainable, ball but you gotta.
Speaker 2: Go this way.
Speaker 3: So it's either the Southern route or the Northern route.
Speaker 1: I'm going to Southern route then, so you're gonna you're
Speaker 1: gonna go alley.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hurricanes, And.
Speaker 1: The vehicle of choice would be like an r V.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going like a camper. I'm going original h one,
Speaker 3: I'm going northern. I'm going through the fucking mountains, the cold.
Speaker 3: I know this thing's and be able to do it.
Speaker 3: We don't got no hurricanes. We don't have tornado balanches. Hey,
Speaker 3: we got avalanche packs though. I'm bringing blizzards. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: bringing Dom Deer, remember Dom the Navy. Yeah, beast, I'm
Speaker 3: bringing him. Is this like an apocalyptic thing or is
Speaker 3: this just like for fun and like ships and giggles
Speaker 3: like uh, stampedes stampedes like yeah, Yellowstone.
Speaker 1: Stampede of like rams and deer and mooses all gathering.
Speaker 2: The guy in buffaloeend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a guy damn interstate taking the interstate the
Speaker 3: whole way.
Speaker 1: No, I'm talking like when you get in the middle
Speaker 1: of nowhere. The interstate doesn't have any border. It's just
Speaker 1: just there's das left and Right's.
Speaker 3: Fucking a wild stampede of horses are just coming around
Speaker 3: of nowhere and hit me. I got it, h one.
Speaker 3: They better, they better bring their sucking their power.
Speaker 1: And I would bring Stephen Ridley with me. Guys an
Speaker 1: outdoors guy outdoors. Yeah, he's from Louisiana. He goes hunting
Speaker 1: all the time. He knows the South, yeah he does.
Speaker 1: He plays golf as well. Yeah, so we could stop
Speaker 1: and hit a couple of golf balls for fun if
Speaker 1: we need some entertainment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm bringing I'm bringing light too.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a good choice.
Speaker 2: Smart.
Speaker 3: He knows the he knows Ohio. He's from Ohio. He
Speaker 3: knows all the fucking those those areas. But he probably
Speaker 3: goes like bow hunting and Dakota's and ship. You know,
Speaker 3: he's definitely caught some bears somewhere in those areas.
Speaker 2: Wyoming. I don't know, but I know.
Speaker 4: You're gonna get stampeded.
Speaker 2: Next trip, next question, right, hey.
Speaker 10: Fellas, I was just wondering, back when you're playing days,
Speaker 10: how often would you guys go up to eat with
Speaker 10: other members of the team and uh, wholy went with you?
Speaker 10: What restaurants did you?
Speaker 7: Jack?
Speaker 1: That's Jack, Oh my gosh, man, And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh man, this sounds like somebody we know.
Speaker 4: Oh Jack, we miss your buddy, We miss you. Bob's
Speaker 4: but grabbing with the boys, we would go out to.
Speaker 1: Eat like once a week on like a Friday night.
Speaker 2: We were young a lot, Yeah, and then we got old.
Speaker 2: Every week start you get you stopped.
Speaker 1: So when we were young, once a week, once a week.
Speaker 3: Remember, we'd always go find a little spot Friday ds fletch.
Speaker 4: That's what it was all about.
Speaker 2: Go get a steak, some.
Speaker 3: Steakhouse, yep, or a Greek fucking restaurant with Koda VID's.
Speaker 3: We'd find one Greek restaurant in every goddamn city.
Speaker 2: We'd we'd, we would. We would eat the.
Speaker 1: Breaking glass and dancing on the table.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fucking twisting light bulbs and shit.
Speaker 11: Hey, what's going on, guys, Gronk, Julian. My name is Kyle.
Speaker 11: I'm from Worcester, Massachusetts.
Speaker 7: Huge fans.
Speaker 11: You guys basically changed my my family, family's lives growing up.
Speaker 11: Watching you guys meant a lot to all of us.
Speaker 9: Anyways, my question is, how do you.
Speaker 11: Guys think both of you would have fared playing football
Speaker 11: back in the seventies, eighties, nineties when the game was
Speaker 11: a little bit more physically taxing and there wasn't as
Speaker 11: many rules that benefited offensive players. I personally think someone
Speaker 11: like Gronk would have dominated in any single era because
Speaker 11: look at him. And I'm not saying you wouldn't, Julian,
Speaker 11: but I just want to know, you know, get you guys'
Speaker 11: opinions on that everybody's always comparing eras and stuff like that.
Speaker 11: So thank you, guys, love the show.
Speaker 1: Well we got that, you know that take going on
Speaker 1: right now. How many humans would it take to take
Speaker 1: down a gorilla? And we already talked about that. How
Speaker 1: many gronks and Julians would have take down to take
Speaker 1: down a gorilla?
Speaker 2: While if I was playing.
Speaker 1: In the seventies, eighties, and nineties era, it would be
Speaker 1: how many players does it take the tackle the groncula
Speaker 1: and it would take the whole entire team, buddy, especially
Speaker 1: in the seventies, the eighties probably just you know.
Speaker 4: Well, the thing is eleven guys on defense.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't go low on you because the nineties they
Speaker 3: tried to blow you.
Speaker 4: The nineties they got bigger. The guys are small.
Speaker 1: In the seventies would have dominated just to a whole
Speaker 1: another level. Nineties, Oh, I would have taken like five
Speaker 1: six guys to take me down.
Speaker 3: Then, well, we played in that football in the nineties
Speaker 3: as as kids, so like we were accustomed to the
Speaker 3: style of football. It trands, you know, it started softening
Speaker 3: halfway through our career, really to a noticeable softening now,
Speaker 3: like rule changes and all that stuff. But yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, those guys are tough. It's a
Speaker 3: different game. Like you watch Terry Bradshaw getting clothesline, picking
Speaker 3: up his fucking teeth and stuff. How he long, you know,
Speaker 3: ripping a guy's helmet off like it was. Those guys
Speaker 3: were barbaric like. So I like to think that I
Speaker 3: tried to play the game like those guys.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't want to take anything from them in their
Speaker 3: in their generations, because you know that that's I have respect.
Speaker 4: That's a good way.
Speaker 1: My answer was just silly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you are a beast. You probably, I take
Speaker 2: it back.
Speaker 4: I would have been on the bench. Yep.
Speaker 12: Next question, which player on the Patriots do you think
Speaker 12: will benefit most from Mike Vrabel this year?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: I would say somebody on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter which It only matters about one. How's
Speaker 3: Drake making to play? Okay, because that's the only one
Speaker 3: that really. I mean, everyone matters, The whole team matters,
Speaker 3: The whole link of the chain matters.
Speaker 2: But there.
Speaker 3: I know, but the master link, that's how they're that's
Speaker 3: how we're all going to judge them. How's Drake Magan
Speaker 3: to do? Because as good as he's gonna do, is
Speaker 3: gonna make the team do well, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So that's the only thing that really does matter. Does
Speaker 3: he influence and make Drake may better? Which I think
Speaker 3: he will because he's got Josh McDaniels.
Speaker 2: I like that system.
Speaker 3: He's going to be a great overall head coach that
Speaker 3: can coach the coaches and all the players, you know,
Speaker 3: because he has a good offensive coordinator that I think
Speaker 3: that they know each other and then have a working
Speaker 3: relationship where he can watch the whole team in the
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: Guy wants to know which guy is gonna benefit the most,
Speaker 1: though not the organization as a whole. Which guy is
Speaker 1: gonna benefit the most?
Speaker 2: Which guy?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: Who do you think I'm.
Speaker 4: Gonna go with?
Speaker 1: A defensive player that he took from the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 1: and brought him to Edge guy Patriots? Didn't he bring
Speaker 1: edge what's his name?
Speaker 4: Harold Landry?
Speaker 1: He brought Harold Landry from the Tennessee Titans to the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. And that's who's gonna benefit the most.
Speaker 1: And he already benefited from it because he probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: be a New England Patriot if it wasn't for Vrabel
Speaker 1: coming here to be the head coach of the of
Speaker 1: the Patriots. So Harold Landry is the guy that's benefiting
Speaker 1: the most bank account wise, having a job wise and
Speaker 1: scheme wise on the defen in.
Speaker 4: The side of the ball.
Speaker 2: You know that that simple math.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after this quick break. Let's get

Speaker 3: But Roberto, yes, what is that? We've got one more.
Speaker 3: Here is the Chillis Collar of the week, brought to
Speaker 3: you by cors Light and Mount Wilson.
Speaker 4: Well cheers to the Chillis Caller of the week.
Speaker 12: Wrong, Jools, don't do this is the best quick question
Speaker 12: for you. It's mini camp season right now. You both
Speaker 12: you both had different paths the NFL Gronk second round,
Speaker 12: Jewels seventh round. Can you explain what your first off
Speaker 12: season was like from you know that April when you
Speaker 12: when you get on the team, all the way up
Speaker 12: to like the first game of the season, like you
Speaker 12: see all these OTAs and this and this and rookies
Speaker 12: and this. Can you just give some more details and
Speaker 12: some explanation on what that whole process is like.
Speaker 7: Thank you?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'll go first here, Jules. This is
Speaker 1: a great question because I was kind of in a
Speaker 1: different situation here. The lockout occurred after my rookie year,
Speaker 1: so I never had an off season, and he asked specifically,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure your first off season was like. So
Speaker 1: that's why I'm going into my first off season because
Speaker 1: I never had a typical NFL off season because I
Speaker 1: was off for six months straight because of a lockout,
Speaker 1: and I loved every moment of it, you know, I
Speaker 1: can tell you that. And in April I was at
Speaker 1: the University of Arizona at pool parties. I also you
Speaker 1: can look at on YouTube, I'm dancing with the basketball
Speaker 1: players on a ledge at the pool just absolutely going
Speaker 1: ham pounding corps lights left and right, probably about twenty
Speaker 1: five of these bad boys. I was twenty one years old.
Speaker 1: I was still supposed to be in college. So it
Speaker 1: was the best time of my life. And the lockout
Speaker 1: couldn't have happened at a better moment in my life
Speaker 1: as well, because I didn't have to go and train,
Speaker 1: because I got the train in the morning wherever I was,
Speaker 1: and then I would just party all day. And I
Speaker 1: was twenty one years old, typical college to then going hand.
Speaker 1: I was also visiting my friends. One of my friends, Tico,
Speaker 1: he went to the Universe, not the university.
Speaker 4: He went to.
Speaker 1: Miami, Ohio, a great college town, great place to party,
Speaker 1: especially when you're that age as well. Wait, wait, did
Speaker 1: you have your signing bonus though, Yeah, I had my
Speaker 1: signing bonus.
Speaker 2: Oh so you had money.
Speaker 1: I had money already, so I had about a million
Speaker 1: in the bank rolling around going to college is still
Speaker 1: getting tables for four hundred dollars, and I felt like
Speaker 1: I was a multi multi billionaire.
Speaker 4: Just rolling in with a million.
Speaker 1: Dollars and getting tables for four hundred bucks and buying
Speaker 1: all these college students.
Speaker 4: Bottles, and uh, how did I train.
Speaker 1: I would wake up after a couple of nights and
Speaker 1: just go run a couple hundreds, you know, catch some
Speaker 1: footballs from my friends that drank with me the whole
Speaker 1: night before, and then literally showed up and dominated every
Speaker 1: single day where Coach Balichick gave me a parking spot
Speaker 1: in the front row because I had the best training
Speaker 1: camp of all time. And that's how it happened because
Speaker 1: of the lockout, and I had videos of me partying everywhere.
Speaker 2: Year.
Speaker 1: This was after my Yeah, after my rookie year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like a slow key, like people knew about
Speaker 1: my skills like at that time, like those those type
Speaker 1: of skills vastly different than mine. What was your vastly different?
Speaker 1: What was your first off season?
Speaker 2: Like first off season? Still stressed?
Speaker 3: You know, are we talking rookie off season or we're
Speaker 3: going into.
Speaker 4: Our rookie year, going into your second year.
Speaker 2: Or is it going into our second year?
Speaker 1: First off season? So my first off season is after
Speaker 1: your first year of.
Speaker 3: Playing, well, I'll go my rookie year, all right, rookie
Speaker 3: year off season, you get drafted, you.
Speaker 2: Go to rookie mini camp, so it's just the rookies.
Speaker 3: They put you through these camp installs, so they give
Speaker 3: you kind of the day to day life of what
Speaker 3: it's going to be, like a little taste.
Speaker 2: Of it in your rookie camp. That's like a three
Speaker 2: day camp.
Speaker 3: For me, it was like very stressful and very hard.
Speaker 3: I'm a seventh round draft pick. I'm in a part
Speaker 3: of the country I've never been or never even heard of.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what I thought.
Speaker 3: I didn't know where New England really was as I
Speaker 3: didn't pay attention to my sociology, social studies, class, geography, geography,
Speaker 3: whatever studies.
Speaker 1: I'm a geography guy. Yeah, like map, my map skills.
Speaker 1: I like my geography skills.
Speaker 3: I didn't know where New England. I kind of knew
Speaker 3: where it was, but it's up here. You have so
Speaker 3: many of this, these things going through your head. Your
Speaker 3: head as a kid. Am I going to be around?
Speaker 3: How's this going? I was learning a new position. You
Speaker 3: got to learn your formations, you got to learn.
Speaker 1: Well, it was your favorite position you learned?
Speaker 2: I like the Z position.
Speaker 1: Oh, sorry, get back to what you're early talking about?
Speaker 4: The aff Oh, the app position.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: So you know, it's very stressful time for these kids
Speaker 3: that come into a new area. They're learning at a
Speaker 3: very rapid rate, you know, because you want to learn
Speaker 3: as much as you can and get all the reps
Speaker 3: you can before the vets come, because once the vets come,
Speaker 3: you don't get any reps and then it becomes super mental.
Speaker 3: So then you know, the one or two reps that
Speaker 3: you do have, you have to not fuck up the formation,
Speaker 3: not fuck up the snap count.
Speaker 2: Nowhere to go.
Speaker 3: Know the personnel group, No, your assignment, know what the
Speaker 3: other defense is doing. No your adjustments, and do it
Speaker 3: all properly so you get another opportunity, you know. So
Speaker 3: this is a tough time for a lot of guys,
Speaker 3: and it should be a tough time because they're digesting
Speaker 3: a lot and they're learning a lot, which is completely
Speaker 3: different than your second season where you have that all
Speaker 3: in you know, your brain already a little bit, so
Speaker 3: it becomes a little easier. But your rookie years, it's
Speaker 3: a tough year if you're trying to go in and
Speaker 3: learn and make the team, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So next, that was a great call. That was a
Speaker 3: great call.
Speaker 1: That was it was a great question. We had different scenarios.
Speaker 3: Well you did this time, I did the rookie year.
Speaker 3: It's all the same but different.
Speaker 1: I I did the same thing even going into my
Speaker 1: first year.
