Speaker 1: goals after, who would that be? Who's the best communicator?
Speaker 1: Like who was the pinnacle of communication?
Speaker 3: Brady was pretty good at communicating.
Speaker 2: I could see that, Like if I had some funk
Speaker 2: with him, or if you know, I wasn't getting like,
Speaker 2: he would sit you down, like all right, what's what's deal?
Speaker 3: He knew how he could.
Speaker 2: He could have uncomfortable conversations. I'm not really good at those,
Speaker 2: and you know, I just I need to work on that.
Speaker 2: I need to improve and then overall just improvement continue
Speaker 2: in patience. I need a lot more patience to virtue,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So that's what New Year's
Speaker 2: is good for a fresh start, get to try to
Speaker 2: make the best version of yourself this next year.
Speaker 3: Reflect reflect a lot of that, a lot of reflection.
Speaker 4: Good year and twenty twenty five, there's gonna be some
Speaker 4: good stuff. Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: What do we got now, let's do it. Who could
Speaker 2: forget Matt Light's wild appearance in the nuthouse.
Speaker 7: We were trying to decide which was the best moment
Speaker 7: for Matt Light and we almost just put the whole episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine this episode from.
Speaker 2: Hunting the Woods behind Gillette? The pranks galore? Oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: this was an instant class Gargoyle. Oh, I wonder where
Speaker 2: Briggs is? I wonder where Briggs. We want to get
Speaker 2: you on, get your side of the story. That dang mouse,
Speaker 2: he had that mouse more the street mental error, the
Speaker 2: infamous prank that he pulled on Bill.
Speaker 1: Let's look back at that one.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, we got the Matt Light prank on Coach Balichick.
Speaker 4: Let's go back to that.
Speaker 3: Let's go check it out.
Speaker 5: And Bill's kind of pissed off, like, yeah, what did
Speaker 5: you do?
Speaker 2: I heard that story once you went into his office,
Speaker 2: and what did you do?
Speaker 5: So I had this remote right and again and this
Speaker 5: is back in the day when this stuff didn't really exist.
Speaker 5: But I was always surfing the net and it was
Speaker 5: a mouse and it plugged in actually, but they didn't
Speaker 5: do anything when you plugged in. You couldn't actually control
Speaker 5: the mouse. But there were I don't know how you
Speaker 5: get this much energy out of two triple A batteries,
Speaker 5: but those two triple A batteries, when you hit that
Speaker 5: mouse button, it would send like Jesus through your body,
Speaker 5: like real quick. And so he was in a staff meeting.
Speaker 5: It was it was in training camp, and nobody was there.
Speaker 5: So I slip in and I'm on my way out.
Speaker 5: They're still working really hard, trying to make us better.
Speaker 5: And I go in and I put that thing on
Speaker 5: his laptop on his desk. I come in the next morning,
Speaker 5: you know, dying next killing me. It's like the start
Speaker 5: training camp. I'm not even thinking about what I did
Speaker 5: to night before. And Ben Bears is like immediately when
Speaker 5: I walk in, he's like not good, like like seriously like,
Speaker 5: and you can see in his eyes like the Bears
Speaker 5: the bear not good. And I'm like what but I
Speaker 5: know I know what he's saying, right, but I'm like,
Speaker 5: what are you talking about denied to you die and
Speaker 5: he's like just telling you it's not good, man. What
Speaker 5: happens is not good. And I'm like, hey, look, I
Speaker 5: can't play this game right now. I gotta go get ready.
Speaker 5: So I walk into the meal room. And when I
Speaker 5: walk in there, Matty P has just got some toast
Speaker 5: or something and he turns around and he sees me
Speaker 5: and he's like, you're an idiot. And I'm like what,
Speaker 5: I'm like, you two and he's like, hey man, he's
Speaker 5: fired up and because of your dumb ass, we spent
Speaker 5: like two more extra hours here last night. And I'm
Speaker 5: like for what and he goes, well, he goes, I
Speaker 5: know it was you. And when he shocked himself. The
Speaker 5: first time he had he had his hand off the keyboard.
Speaker 5: The second time his hand hit the keyboard and it
Speaker 5: deleted his notes. You know how he takes notes everything
Speaker 5: of everything, everything, Like, hey, by the way, this is
Speaker 5: crazy man. Here's here's a great example. Let's say we're
Speaker 5: playing the Jets and it's it's it's Monday afternoon, so
Speaker 5: we're playing a divisional game, right It's we're coming off
Speaker 5: a loss on the road, and you know we were
Speaker 5: we have a two key players on defense and went down.
Speaker 5: He'll go back in his notes and do keyword search
Speaker 5: or something, and he'll find a scenario that mimics that
Speaker 5: almost to a t. And then he'll look and see,
Speaker 5: how did I address the team. Did I go hard
Speaker 5: on him? Did I take it easy on him? Did
Speaker 5: I push him? And how hard did I push him?
Speaker 5: Did we practice a certain way? What was the outcome?
Speaker 5: How did it come out? All that stuff gets analyzed. Man,
Speaker 5: that's the craziness in the complexity that a lot of
Speaker 5: people don't realize. I don't know how much that weighs
Speaker 5: in his success or whatever else, but that's who he is.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 5: So when now, by the way, first time he didn't
Speaker 5: have his hand on a keyboard, the second time he
Speaker 5: shocked himself, he did and it closed in a program.
Speaker 5: The way I look at that is you're an air repeater.
Speaker 5: That the first one was my fault, second one that's
Speaker 5: your fault. Now we didn't talk about that, but I
Speaker 5: will say this, When he lost that, that was not
Speaker 5: a good day because it wasn't like auto save apparently,
Speaker 5: so all of his notes for that day apparently went
Speaker 5: by by. And what I thought was real, So I
Speaker 5: wanted to go get my mouse, but I left that
Speaker 5: thing in there.
Speaker 9: Buddy.
Speaker 5: Once I heard about that one, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 5: that thing's gone.
Speaker 3: What did he say to you?
Speaker 5: He I mean literally he said something like, I mean
Speaker 5: he stopped me. And by the way, Bill's kind of
Speaker 5: like Tommy, like, I have no idea how time he
Speaker 5: got from one meeting room to the next. I don't
Speaker 5: know if he floated in the atmosphere he like like
Speaker 5: became particles and just reappears like in weird places. Obviously
Speaker 5: he didn't shower. Toim, he never showered. Never, Nobody ever
Speaker 5: saw him in there weird.
Speaker 2: Well, actually I see him a couple of times. He'd
Speaker 2: have the two shower heads on him. Ember he would
Speaker 2: be in the corner sometimes rarely shower heads.
Speaker 9: I'm like, dude, yeah I had.
Speaker 5: Two showers I know, and neither one of those heads
Speaker 5: wanted to be pointed to him. No, seriously, Like the
Speaker 5: water was like he's he's hydrophobic, like it like water
Speaker 5: doesn't like him.
Speaker 3: He got to think about it.
Speaker 2: He probably goes to like his sick home where like
Speaker 2: he's got like hydrogen based water.
Speaker 5: No, I'm listen, I think he has to wash him
Speaker 5: every day. I think, so seriously, it's Alex little tiny hands, Like,
Speaker 5: so what did Bill say?
Speaker 9: Hey man?
Speaker 5: He was fired up. He basically told me if you
Speaker 5: go in my office again, I will kill you. And
Speaker 5: of course I did not. I'm like, coach, what are
Speaker 5: we even talking about? He's like, you know exactly what
Speaker 5: we're talking about. I really don't, I said, but I'm
Speaker 5: gonna get some food here, I'll see in the meeting room.
Speaker 5: And and but it was weird because Maddy p came
Speaker 5: at me and so the Bears and I thought I
Speaker 5: thought they were like flipping it on me right, like, oh,
Speaker 5: we're gonna make him think that. You know, coaches really
Speaker 5: fired up? No coaches because Dante was the last one,
Speaker 5: because you know Dante doesn't mess around. Dante was real matter.
Speaker 3: What did Scarr say?
Speaker 5: Like, He's like, I don't think that was a good idea.
Speaker 5: You probably shouldn't go in the head coach's office. And
Speaker 5: I'm like you too, I'm like, I don't know what
Speaker 5: you're even talking about.
Speaker 3: So did you deny it? Till day to forever?
Speaker 8: Forever?
Speaker 5: But that's the so again, we didn't have a conversation
Speaker 5: about it. It wasn't like at some point he came to me.
Speaker 5: It was like, hey, that shit was kind of funny.
Speaker 5: You got me that she had hurt, you know, like
Speaker 5: I we cool to acknowledge any of this, Like, hey,
Speaker 5: remember that email you sent me? Like that was funny.
Speaker 5: But there's a part of me that believes, like what
Speaker 5: he reiterated on his concluding remarks email, that he was
Speaker 5: kind of serious. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Serious.
Speaker 2: Bill used to he was notorious for fucking quizziness on
Speaker 2: spot and I could have sworn Matt Light was sleeping
Speaker 2: in a meeting and Bill tried to catch Matt and he.
Speaker 3: Goes, Matt, you got all the fucking answer exactly what
Speaker 3: he said.
Speaker 5: Actually, I was just gonna say that, Matt, you.
Speaker 3: Got all the fucking answers. What coverage is that?
Speaker 8: And you hit?
Speaker 3: You hit the coverage?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 3: What was it?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 3: Two blit zone two C.
Speaker 5: There was like the square root in a sly triangle
Speaker 5: is equal to the I'm like, and everybody turns around.
Speaker 5: They're like, because they know I sleep, Like you know
Speaker 5: I sleep. I slept through every meeting and I don't. Honestly,
Speaker 5: my wife was like, you're gonna get fired. Like my
Speaker 5: first year, I remember Dante Scarnakia, my line coach, would
Speaker 5: make me stand up in the meeting room when we
Speaker 5: had our offensive line meetings, and I would fall asleep
Speaker 5: eating a candy bar, trying to stay awake, eating a
Speaker 5: candy bar, fall asleep standing and he would be like
Speaker 5: like if you if you fall asleep one more time,
Speaker 5: I will kill you. And I'm like, oh man, like
Speaker 5: I'm a rookie. I didn't know what was happening on
Speaker 5: that one though, So this is the greatest right, so
Speaker 5: notorious sleeper Copan would kick me. He sat right behind me.
Speaker 5: He would always feed me the answer too, because I
Speaker 5: have not fuck, I don't know what Bill just said.
Speaker 5: I was asleep and so and by the way, like football,
Speaker 5: like yes, we're a bunch of Neanderthals, but like I
Speaker 5: don't need to watch that seven hundred times, like all
Speaker 5: we do is sit in rewind watch, rewind watch. So
Speaker 5: on this one, if you think on that season, we
Speaker 5: had a bunch of young guys, and defensively, as you know,
Speaker 5: the defense could get everything. You know, Bill would be like,
Speaker 5: all right, look, you know, you know what are we expecting?
Speaker 5: You know, he'd be talking to the offense in this situation,
Speaker 5: what are we expecting them to do? I mean, it's
Speaker 5: third down, we're in a red zone. I mean, you know,
Speaker 5: we got you know, whatever, we got trips, you know.
Speaker 5: And and he'd ask somebody a question and it'd be
Speaker 5: like a really difficult question and we would come up
Speaker 5: with an answer that's pretty good. He'd be like, Ah,
Speaker 5: I'm not what the fuck you know, that's not what
Speaker 5: they're gonna do. I mean, god damn it.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: I'd be watching an ounce of film and then he
Speaker 5: would go to the defense and he'd be like, all right, guys, like,
Speaker 5: what's one plus seven? And they'd be like six and
Speaker 5: a half and they like that it's pretty close, pretty good?
Speaker 5: All right now, I'm moving on.
Speaker 11: What are we talking about, coach?
Speaker 3: Like those guys that have no idea jerseys?
Speaker 2: Right, Like he would give some fucking terrible you give
Speaker 2: the easiest questions, these fucking defensive guys, and they.
Speaker 5: Always got to pass every time. So I'm listening to
Speaker 5: this and I'm like, these cats have no idea. And
Speaker 5: Bill's kind of pissed off. Like we had a couple
Speaker 5: of weeks of coming in and I want some answers.
Speaker 5: It's a Wednesday morning, right, and you better have my answers, right. Well,
Speaker 5: they weren't having this, so I go on my way out.
Speaker 5: I don't know why. I just had this epiphany, and
Speaker 5: I walk into Coach's office, which is always awkward, like
Speaker 5: you don't go in there just to go in there,
Speaker 5: Oh no, and you gotta pass Bears, the little man
Speaker 5: purse right there at the front, right, and I love Bears,
Speaker 5: but you know, so anyway, I go in there. Coach
Speaker 5: is working at his computer and he looks up at me.
Speaker 5: He's like, you know, like there wasn't a question, it
Speaker 5: was just like a you know, and I'm like uh.
Speaker 5: And right then, immediately I'm like why did I do this?
Speaker 5: This is not gonna be I'm like, Coach, hey, listen,
Speaker 5: I'm like, these guys don't have the answers. They're not
Speaker 5: coming in with stuff I said. I thought it'd be
Speaker 5: funny if, like, you know, next time we do this,
Speaker 5: like on the next Wednesday or whatever, you you throw
Speaker 5: me some questions and I'll just rat them off and
Speaker 5: be like shit that even Brady wouldn't know. And he's like,
Speaker 5: you know, all right, what what are you thinking? And
Speaker 5: I'm like, uh, well, you know, like you know, you
Speaker 5: you say something, then I rode off an answer. Then you
Speaker 5: you try to hit me with another one, try to
Speaker 5: catch me slipping, and I'll just keep ratting them off,
Speaker 5: and all the guys are gonna and that way. Now
Speaker 5: they're gonna know, like, well, I got to get in
Speaker 5: the film room. I need if light knows this shit,
Speaker 5: then I really need to do a little bit more studied.
Speaker 5: And it fell on deaf ears.
Speaker 8: Dude.
Speaker 5: He was just like, you know, look, I mean, you know,
Speaker 5: like it wasn't like a hey, that sounds like a
Speaker 5: great idea or that's really stupid. It was just like indifferent.
Speaker 5: So I walked out of there thinking that that failed.
Speaker 5: Three weeks go by it, I'm walking in and Bear's like, hey,
Speaker 5: Bill wants to see it. And I'm like, oh snap, what.
Speaker 9: Did I do?
Speaker 5: Like I told, he forgot about the whole conversation, right,
Speaker 5: and I'm not kidding you. I walk in his office
Speaker 5: and immediately he goes, all right, look, you know I'll
Speaker 5: hit you with you know that you know what they're
Speaker 5: doing the third down and then I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 5: talk to you about you know, when we get into
Speaker 5: the red zone, you know what that looks like. And
Speaker 5: then the last one, I'm like, and he rattles off
Speaker 5: these three questions he's gonna ask me, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, what's the answer, Like, I have no idea,
Speaker 5: like you're speaking like swa heally, I have no idea
Speaker 5: what you're even referring to Bill And he's like, oh well,
Speaker 5: So I grab a pin and I start writing the
Speaker 5: answers on my hand and we go in team meeting
Speaker 5: kicks off and he starts off with his typical I mean,
Speaker 5: you know, in the category of what we're not looking for,
Speaker 5: and it's some Bengals, you know, problem with some guy
Speaker 5: getting the strip club or something. Always a Bengals player, right,
Speaker 5: I swear to God, Always a Bengals player.
Speaker 2: And then then he looks learn the Bengal formation. The
Speaker 2: f was all the way and the inside because he
Speaker 2: was in jail.
Speaker 5: In jail, easy way to remember. So when he asked me,
Speaker 5: when he says, exactly what you said, all right, like
Speaker 5: you got all the fucking answers, all right, here we go,
Speaker 5: what are they doing this? And I literally just rattled
Speaker 5: off immediately. I remember I could hear the air come
Speaker 5: out of coping, and he's like, shit, he's awake. And
Speaker 5: I didn't even know that one. So the next one
Speaker 5: he throws out there, immediately answer that one, and the
Speaker 5: third one, I'm like literally looking at my hand, of course.
Speaker 5: And so when it's done and we leave the team
Speaker 5: meeting room, I remember the guys coming up to me
Speaker 5: and they're like, what the F. I'm like, hey, just
Speaker 5: get in a film room, you know, like like I
Speaker 5: didn't acknowledge the fact that Bill and I set that up.
Speaker 5: And you know, here's the best part, Jules, I've never
Speaker 5: had a conversation with Bill about any of the funny
Speaker 5: stuff that's ever happened between him and I.
Speaker 4: That Like, how did he stay on that team for
Speaker 4: so long?
Speaker 1: It's incredible. The carte blanche he had around there is impressive. Look,
Speaker 1: don't use big words, neither of us. What do you
Speaker 1: say you or I understand? Understand? Oh, it's such a
Speaker 1: Bill all time?
Speaker 11: All right?
Speaker 4: What do we got here? Next?
Speaker 2: On our next moment comes TV legend and former Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: stiller Ed O'Neil.
Speaker 1: I had another great thesbian.
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean I I four touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Four touchdowns in sixty nine, sixty six, sixty six. I
Speaker 2: don't know why, but I did you see that one episode?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 2: Because we've had him on all my algorithms have a
Speaker 2: lot of Ed o'neo and married with children clips. Great
Speaker 2: one where he's playing softball and pegs over there, like, no,
Speaker 2: that's not him, you know what I mean? This guy's
Speaker 2: like is that al Bundy? And she tells it this
Speaker 2: huge story about it. I just I fucking love that show.
Speaker 2: I love that show. That was That was such a
Speaker 2: fun episode for us. Choked me out after the episode
Speaker 2: Jiu Jitsu Champion Friends with the Gracies.
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, you might want to be messed with man.
Speaker 3: That was so fun. All timer, that was an all timer.
Speaker 4: All right, Let's let's go to.
Speaker 7: Ed's story of his cup of coffee with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 12: This was not too long after I got cut. Yeah,
Speaker 12: so I was still following things pretty close. And you know,
Speaker 12: I knew all about frank O Harris and those guys
Speaker 12: because they came a year after I got cut. And
Speaker 12: when I got cut, I said I got cut. I
Speaker 12: had a cup of coffee with them basically that's about it.
Speaker 12: But yeah, so I was still, you know, sitting in
Speaker 12: the bar with my buddies watching these games.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and glad I wasn't playing at that point.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well you had to be vested because you got drafted
Speaker 2: with me and Joe Green. You got drafted with a
Speaker 2: lot of these pro football Hall of famers, and so
Speaker 2: you got to enjoy.
Speaker 3: And it was Chuck noles first year.
Speaker 13: Right, it was noles first year, and so you.
Speaker 2: Got to you had his first training camp, and you
Speaker 2: got to know these people. So you get vested because
Speaker 2: you have relationships with these guys.
Speaker 12: Huh yeah, I mean it was uh, you know, it was.
Speaker 12: It was very intense. You know you've been to those camps.
Speaker 12: I mean I didn't make a whole lot of friends.
Speaker 12: It was a job, yes, but it was it was fun.
Speaker 12: I actually enjoyed it. Yeah, as opposed to college. I mean,
Speaker 12: you know, I don't know why you would think it
Speaker 12: would be the opposite, but I actually enjoyed the training
Speaker 12: down there.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know what people don't realize because I was a
Speaker 2: very similar situation as you. You were a priority free agent,
Speaker 2: so they sinned you exactly. I was a seventh round
Speaker 2: draft pick, which is the last round of our draft,
Speaker 2: which some would argue it's better to be a free
Speaker 2: agent because you get two years contract instead.
Speaker 3: Of locking in for a third.
Speaker 13: And you were a quarterback. I was a quarterback.
Speaker 2: But the mental aspect when you're on the team and
Speaker 2: there's ninety guys, they got to cut it down to
Speaker 2: fifty three and you're sitting where you did you used
Speaker 2: to play the numbers game, You're sitting in training camp. Well,
Speaker 2: they're going to keep this guy. They're going to keep
Speaker 2: that guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I had a situation where, you know, I don't know
Speaker 12: if yours was the same as ours, but ours the
Speaker 12: Steelers they would put a board up and if your
Speaker 12: name wasn't on it, you were cut. So it's kind
Speaker 12: of a nice way to do it. You know, you
Speaker 12: don't see your name as this guy got cut. You know,
Speaker 12: people don't know you, they don't even know you got gut.
Speaker 2: And it's completely changed nowadays. Nowadays, you'll be sitting in
Speaker 2: the locker room and they have this guy with everyone
Speaker 2: calls the Turk. It's probably like, uh, he's like an
Speaker 2: offensive assistant of assistant of another assistant, and he comes
Speaker 2: up to your locker and he taps on your shoulder.
Speaker 3: He says, hey, head coach wants to see you. Bring
Speaker 3: your playbook.
Speaker 13: Oh no, I had that. See they went to they
Speaker 13: went through.
Speaker 12: When it started out, okay, they had so many guys,
Speaker 12: they cut the way I just mentioned.
Speaker 13: But then if you got along some then it turned into.
Speaker 12: Uh, oh, by the way, coach snow would like to
Speaker 12: see you in his office and bring your playbook.
Speaker 14: That's what happened to me.
Speaker 4: Geez.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so but then there you know how nice they
Speaker 13: are to you when you're going there.
Speaker 3: You know we're going a different route. You know, you're
Speaker 3: just not yea.
Speaker 12: Well with me, it was, well, you never played outside
Speaker 12: linebacker and you're trying to make the team and learn
Speaker 12: the position at the same time.
Speaker 14: That's hard to do.
Speaker 12: I said, yeah, He said, well I think they I
Speaker 12: think I think I remember it as well.
Speaker 13: You can go to the Eagles if you want to,
Speaker 13: and don't give.
Speaker 9: You a good look.
Speaker 13: We'll rent a car for you. You can drive down
Speaker 13: the PA Pike.
Speaker 12: But I need to know right now, and I don't
Speaker 12: know what happened to my thinking. It was like, you're
Speaker 12: gonna what I want to drive a car Philadelphia.
Speaker 13: No I said, I'm done. I'm finished. Thanks a lot. Wow,
Speaker 13: that was it, but I was.
Speaker 12: Getting sick of it. To be honest with you, I
Speaker 12: played for two colleges. I had some knee problems, and
Speaker 12: I just I don't know what it was. I didn't
Speaker 12: even like coach as much. You know, I got I
Speaker 12: don't I like Noel.
Speaker 9: He was well.
Speaker 12: I didn't get to know him much, but he was
Speaker 12: a real gentleman, and I thought he was a nice guy.
Speaker 12: He was, but I had coaches in college. I didn't
Speaker 12: like it all in high school too. I had to
Speaker 12: start thinking maybe.
Speaker 5: It was my fault.
Speaker 13: It was to that point, Gee, I was finished.
Speaker 8: I said.
Speaker 14: He said, well, what are you going to do?
Speaker 13: I said, I don't know, but not this.
Speaker 12: And then I remember when I went to my back
Speaker 12: to the dorm room I had, you know, I had
Speaker 12: a roommate. His name was Clarence Oliver San Diego State.
Speaker 12: He made the team as a defensive back and he
Speaker 12: only played one year. I think he broke his back,
Speaker 12: but he made it. But I went in and he
Speaker 12: was like, what happened? What do you think?
Speaker 13: So I was backing up and the guy came in.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 13: They said, well, the car's out there. Where do you
Speaker 13: want to go? And I said, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 12: I'm not from Pittsburgh, but.
Speaker 3: I knew a guy.
Speaker 12: I knew a friend in Pittsburgh. So I said, now
Speaker 12: I'm going to Pittsburgh. And he says, okay, we'll drive
Speaker 12: you to Pittsburgh. You know it's not too it's Latrobe.
Speaker 12: So he said, we'll swing by the stadium on the
Speaker 12: way out because your cleats are there in the locker,
Speaker 12: and we got a lot of.
Speaker 13: Swag for you.
Speaker 12: We got great jerseys and T shirts and hats and shorts.
Speaker 12: And I said, I don't want any of that shit.
Speaker 12: He said, you don't want the it's good stuff. I
Speaker 12: don't want it.
Speaker 3: I'm going to wear it.
Speaker 14: I'm not wearing it.
Speaker 13: I don't want the cleats either. I'm not going to
Speaker 13: use him anymore.
Speaker 12: So he took me into Pittsburgh and I had this
Speaker 12: rudimentary idea of where my friend lived.
Speaker 14: So I was trying.
Speaker 13: I didn't want to go home. Yeah, it was what
Speaker 13: it was. So I didn't you want to go home?
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, that was all screwed up.
Speaker 12: I thought, I don't want to go home and have
Speaker 12: to explain this, so I said, uh, it was still
Speaker 12: in the summertime. So I directed them up a street
Speaker 12: and I saw a bar. It was a local bar
Speaker 12: with the door open the summertime, the doors no air,
Speaker 12: you know, the door was open. I said, right here,
Speaker 12: my friend lives right around that bar. Just drop me
Speaker 12: off here.
Speaker 3: You sure, you know?
Speaker 13: They kind of said, yeah, give me the bag audios.
Speaker 12: So I went in the bar and it was like
Speaker 12: two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were like a
Speaker 12: couple of you know, locals. It was a local joint.
Speaker 12: So I walk in. I'm twenty three years old. They
Speaker 12: don't know me.
Speaker 13: I'm a stranger in this neighborhood and they look like,
Speaker 13: was this good? I order a beer and.
Speaker 12: They got the TV up high, you know, on the wall,
Speaker 12: and we're watching it and the the New News comes
Speaker 12: on and they're showing Armstrong walking on the moon.
Speaker 15: Wow.
Speaker 13: That's when I got cut. And I'm thinking, well, if
Speaker 13: somebody had a good.
Speaker 12: Day, he had the golf club right, and I'm watching it,
Speaker 12: and then they went to the sports and of course
Speaker 12: it's Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5: So they go.
Speaker 12: Linebacker Ed O'Neill released today from the Steelers and there's
Speaker 12: my picture, and these guys are in the in the
Speaker 12: bar and they look.
Speaker 13: They go, you're at O'Neill.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and they said, your money's no good here. Now
Speaker 12: they're all buying me drinks. I end up at three
Speaker 12: o'clock in the morning and some some car with some
Speaker 12: girl with a state hoopie pulling me over. You know,
Speaker 12: I don't even know my name at this point. And
Speaker 12: the guy looks in and I think I had my
Speaker 12: shirt off, and you know, that was almost naked. And
Speaker 12: I'm driving though, and he says, you know, I had
Speaker 12: my my drivers. He said, did you get cut today
Speaker 12: from Pittsburgh. I said yep. He said, miss can you drive?
Speaker 12: She said yeah, he just he's just driving around And
Speaker 12: he said, can you drive this guy home?
Speaker 13: And she said, I'll take him.
Speaker 12: He says he knows somebody and he sapt letting him
Speaker 12: go because it was you.
Speaker 13: Know, it was Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers. They love them Steelers.
Speaker 13: Even if you got cut, it doesn't make any You're
Speaker 13: still part of the team.
Speaker 3: You're still part of the team anyway.
Speaker 13: That's my I don't think i've told that story ever.
Speaker 4: That so you were a defensive lineman. In college, I played.
Speaker 12: Mansome joker, middle guard, middle guard on defense, okay, and
Speaker 12: I played defensive end and I played tight end in college.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 13: You know I just went around like that.
Speaker 7: So what was the you said that you mentioned you
Speaker 7: were playing outside linebacker in Steelers camp?
Speaker 12: What was That's all you got? That's all they had
Speaker 12: for me. You know, I couldn't be a cornerback. I
Speaker 12: wasn't quick enough. I mean I ran a four seven
Speaker 12: forty in sixty eight.
Speaker 13: That's that's my number though. But you know that's fast.
Speaker 13: I was about two thirty.
Speaker 2: Four to seven four seven, then two thirty. That's like
Speaker 2: a two sixty guy running four six.
Speaker 13: And then I did.
Speaker 3: But you guys didn't train for.
Speaker 2: It like that. That was athlete, that was that was fast. Then,
Speaker 2: I don't know, you only had a couple for four
Speaker 2: guys in the team.
Speaker 12: Well, you know when I did, I did it. I
Speaker 12: narrated the thing on uh Peyton Manning, you know that
Speaker 12: timeline and when I and it was so nicely written.
Speaker 12: I was very impressed with it. And this was not
Speaker 12: long ago, and I was struck by the fact that
Speaker 12: he was coached and you were too right. Your dad
Speaker 12: was a coach. That was a coach, and uh, I
Speaker 12: mean I was never coached. Not I don't think I
Speaker 12: was really ever coached. We just played pickup ball. And
Speaker 12: when we went to high school there was coaches there,
Speaker 12: but I it's a long story. They didn't really coach me.
Speaker 12: It was just my whole idea was knock the ship
Speaker 12: out of you and I'll progress. So it wasn't the
Speaker 12: best way to learn football.
Speaker 3: The game has changed now now.
Speaker 2: That used to be the old That used to be
Speaker 2: the ultimate equalizer of the guy who will.
Speaker 13: Even then it didn't work right.
Speaker 12: Even then it didn't work right because you could hit
Speaker 12: a guy like on a reverse. Say they run around
Speaker 12: and you're in and you've got a clean shot, and
Speaker 12: instead of tackling him, I would hit him with a
Speaker 12: forearm and sometimes they wouldn't go down, you know, they'd
Speaker 12: spin and keep going. I mean it was like that,
Speaker 12: you know. It was just it was like Kamakazi football
Speaker 12: that you would have been a great special teamer.
Speaker 4: Probably he's outside.
Speaker 1: He's in the car, and I.
Speaker 7: Still don't understand why he didn't go to the Eagles camp.
Speaker 4: Different time, different era.
Speaker 2: He's just he was a stiller yeah, he wanted to
Speaker 2: be a Pittsburg stiller.
Speaker 1: He said, I'm done with this. I'm done with it.
Speaker 3: Hey, thank god for all or we wouldn't have had
Speaker 3: l Bundy.
Speaker 1: Ay Man, I'm glad that played out the way.
Speaker 3: He's such a legend. That is a legend.
Speaker 15: He's the best.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after this quick break on.
Speaker 2: Our next moment comes from a Nuthouse East classic. Current
Speaker 2: PC head coach Games with Names listener and one of
Speaker 2: my former offensive coordinators, Billy O'Brien, joined us, and boy
Speaker 2: was it a treat. That was a treat. Look at
Speaker 2: the time that we had together and all the fun
Speaker 2: stories little Tom Brady Billy hu exchange on the sidelines
Speaker 2: because the taekwon Underwood's undercut freaking in cut on the inline.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's instant clue. Let's get into it,
Speaker 2: let's check it out. That was a fun reminder, the
Speaker 2: Tom event, and it was all you know, it was
Speaker 2: fun to celebrate Tom.
Speaker 3: How was it coaching him?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 16: No, I I so basically I went from oh wait,
Speaker 16: wide receiver coach Josh Josh got the Denver job and Bill,
Speaker 16: I'll never forget it. We were my wife and I
Speaker 16: were going out to dinner. We we lived in Midfield
Speaker 16: and we were going to the to the mall to
Speaker 16: California Pizza Kitchen. It was like a place we would
Speaker 16: go and and my phone rang and it's Bill and
Speaker 16: he's like, hey, listen, uh, you know, Josh is taking
Speaker 16: this Denver job. Listen, I'm gonna make you the quarterback coach.
Speaker 16: But you know, look, I'm not gonna call you the coordinator,
Speaker 16: but you're gonna do all that like you're gonna do
Speaker 16: like just so you know, like you're gonna script and
Speaker 16: you're gonna do this, and you're and I'm like, okay, great.
Speaker 16: It was like a two minute conversation.
Speaker 3: That was it.
Speaker 16: I was like, Bill, I appreciate it. All right, see
Speaker 16: you Monday, See you Monday. Hang up, boom, just keep
Speaker 16: going to California Pizza. I turned to my wife and
Speaker 16: I was like, I think he just said I'm the
Speaker 16: quarterback coach. So it was just a great you know,
Speaker 16: that was a cool night for my family and to
Speaker 16: have the opportunit to coach. You know, obviously, what we
Speaker 16: believe is the greatest quarterback of all time when he
Speaker 16: when he first he was out on the West Coast
Speaker 16: and he came back for OTAs that year nine.
Speaker 3: The year, the year.
Speaker 16: Yeah. He I'll never forget this. He came in my
Speaker 16: office he said, look, I want to be coached. He's like, look,
Speaker 16: I don't want don't waste my time, but I want
Speaker 16: to be coached. And he was right about that, and
Speaker 16: I learned a lot about, you know, how he wanted
Speaker 16: to be coached, what he wanted to know. Like I
Speaker 16: can remember one of my first meetings. I was so prepared.
Speaker 16: I had this like book of like computer reports, and
Speaker 16: I gave him this. I'm like, Tom, look at this book,
Speaker 16: you know, and he's like, what is this? I want
Speaker 16: one sheet. I want one sheet that tells me boom
Speaker 16: boom boom, first, second down, third down, boom, fronts, pressures,
Speaker 16: red area, backed up to you know, the whole thing.
Speaker 16: And I was like, oh my god. So but from
Speaker 16: that point I did the one sheet and I used
Speaker 16: that one sheet to this day for quarterbacks. Because he
Speaker 16: wanted to be able to think quickly. He didn't want
Speaker 16: a big computer report. He was a guy that if
Speaker 16: you showed him that you could work with him, like
Speaker 16: you could take in his input and show him that
Speaker 16: you could work together to formulate a really good offense,
Speaker 16: like then you were going to have a great relationship.
Speaker 16: And I think that's why he and I got along
Speaker 16: so well, because we had our ideas and then he
Speaker 16: would come in on Tuesdays with his ideas and we
Speaker 16: would put those ideas into with ours, and you know,
Speaker 16: I would put it all together and then each night
Speaker 16: I would have to email.
Speaker 15: It to him.
Speaker 16: And so I don't know if Josh. I think Josh
Speaker 16: probably do the same thing. But like you know, he
Speaker 16: went to bed early. So if it was like, you know,
Speaker 16: Tuesday night for Wednesday morning, here's the game plan by
Speaker 16: eight pm, here's the game plan for third down by
Speaker 16: eight pm on Wednesday, you know red area eight pm
Speaker 16: on Thursday. You know what I mean for the next day.
Speaker 16: But that forced you to work, get your work done
Speaker 16: and be prepared. And then he would email back with Hey,
Speaker 16: I love this play. I love this play. I don't
Speaker 16: really like this play. Hey what do you think about
Speaker 16: this play? And it was just that type of relationship,
Speaker 16: you know, and coaching him was it was awesome.
Speaker 2: That's really cool to hear, you know, And people don't
Speaker 2: realize Tom loves being coached. I mean, Billy Oh was
Speaker 2: probably so overwhelmed jumping into that thing because when I
Speaker 2: got there, they are like they already had three Super Bowls.
Speaker 2: They were already the Patriots, and that was like And
Speaker 2: I remember seeing him throw for the first day and
Speaker 2: I was like, man.
Speaker 3: This is my fucker throw, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: When he was throwing, he threw through a two hole
Speaker 2: shot to Randy or something and Randy late handed like
Speaker 2: and like didn't even have his button, chin trap buckle like,
Speaker 2: and it just they looked like a They looked like
Speaker 2: pro A one. And to hear that he liked to
Speaker 2: be coached is awesome. I mean to the point where
Speaker 2: you coached where you guys are damn near fish fighting
Speaker 2: on the sidelines, you know, Billy Oh, can we get
Speaker 2: into that what happened there?
Speaker 3: No hold on now, I mean fist fight. You were
Speaker 3: at practice.
Speaker 16: You know how practices are once again going back to.
Speaker 8: Brothers.
Speaker 3: You really are with your with your assistant coaches. Sometimes
Speaker 3: you just want to slap this shit out of your
Speaker 3: brother exactly.
Speaker 16: So like you know, you can remember practices like I
Speaker 16: when when Bill would you know, make us use the
Speaker 16: headsets or whatever or we wanted to use the headsets
Speaker 16: to practice for the game, and so you know, I'd
Speaker 16: be pressing the button and it wouldn't be like it
Speaker 16: would be screwed up, and maybe I'd be yelling at
Speaker 16: Donnie Brocher and Tom would be out on the field
Speaker 16: like you gotta press the button. You're not pressing the button.
Speaker 16: You're not pressing the button. I took the whole thing
Speaker 16: and like remember that day, and threw it at him.
Speaker 16: I'm like, you you've pressed the button. I'm pressing the
Speaker 16: button and thing's broken.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 8: So these little fight.
Speaker 16: They went to the inner remember then they went to
Speaker 16: but I mean, these little things would come up. And
Speaker 16: so in that game, we Dion had gotten hurt, and
Speaker 16: like leading up to that game late in the week
Speaker 16: and we signed Taekwon Underwood, who.
Speaker 3: Now is like the receiver or the receivers.
Speaker 16: We signed him late in the week and we were
Speaker 16: driving the ball and somebody else got hurt. So Taekwon
Speaker 16: had to go in and we ran branch and he
Speaker 16: had the incut. He was the X and he didn't
Speaker 16: run a great incut. He kind of faded and uh,
Speaker 16: Josh what's his name in the corner for the Redskins
Speaker 16: undercut it.
Speaker 3: Tom kind of looped it in there.
Speaker 16: So we come over to the sideline and Tom's you know,
Speaker 16: ripping Taekwon and I can remember Wes like, all right, man,
Speaker 16: like let's move on, like you know, basically like we
Speaker 16: we all just got to move on.
Speaker 3: Well, we were.
Speaker 2: Frustrated because we weren't moving the ball all that game,
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of ship that goes happening on
Speaker 2: the side.
Speaker 16: So then it just became I don't want to get
Speaker 16: into all that was said, but like, hey, Tom, like
Speaker 16: basically like you need to shut the f up. We
Speaker 16: got to move on now because Grossman's driving the ball,
Speaker 16: We're gonna possibly go to overtime. And you remember who
Speaker 16: intercepted the pass to end the game was girod Mayo.
Speaker 3: I was playing defense.
Speaker 16: So but anyways, so he said, you want me to
Speaker 16: shut you shut And then it was just like to
Speaker 16: two fifteen year olders, like just yelling shut the f
Speaker 16: up back and forth to each other.
Speaker 3: Came over.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now, that was the brilliance of
Speaker 2: Billy Oh because he liked the fire guys up. And
Speaker 2: we all knew Tom liked to be fired up because
Speaker 2: we all know Tom plays better.
Speaker 3: Pissed off, like that's the that's the truth.
Speaker 2: And you know there's a lot of those Jedi mind
Speaker 2: tricks that I think that happened over there to piss
Speaker 2: him off because he played better pissed off.
Speaker 3: You know we it didn't you know? You remember the
Speaker 3: next day. No one's like it happens. It happens over
Speaker 3: game day is like a battle day.
Speaker 2: And I don't like making the comparison to the guys
Speaker 2: that do it, but you know, shit happens next day.
Speaker 8: You don't.
Speaker 3: You go, you see him at the coffee line? Eye,
Speaker 3: how was how's the wife?
Speaker 8: You don't even remember? I remember?
Speaker 4: Move on?
Speaker 2: They don't calm t kettle for nothing. Those are those
Speaker 2: it's the heat of battle. Heat of battle, and we
Speaker 2: love Billy.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 2: Right after that episode we did that, he went out
Speaker 2: and had some big wins at Boston College.
Speaker 3: He did doing a great job.
Speaker 1: Doing a great job. He's converted us an Eagles fan.
Speaker 2: Hey, and hopefully he's getting the funding from the pope. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he was pretty quiet about that. But I could see Catholics, okay,
Speaker 2: Catholics over there, those rogues and ship a lot of
Speaker 2: money over there.
Speaker 7: In Il Baby, and I love when he came on too,
Speaker 7: because we were like, oh, we got some timing. He's
Speaker 7: an active head coach. We're like, okay, let's try to
Speaker 7: fit in the timing. And then like we were like,
Speaker 7: don't with the show, and was like, I'm not done.
Speaker 7: You want a Randy Moss story. You wanted this story,
Speaker 7: here's the story, here's one. It was like, that was
Speaker 7: the best best. He's so cool.
Speaker 1: We gotta get him back on.
Speaker 2: It was cool to have him and Josh back like
Speaker 2: back to back. Brought back a lot of cool memories.
Speaker 2: Our next moment comes from a Vegas episode Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: We were in town for the Super Bowl, of course,
Speaker 2: and I had the pleasure of chopping it up with
Speaker 2: real deal Chiefs fan an snl vet Heidi Gardener. Boy,
Speaker 2: does she know ball? Certified ball noer? She is a
Speaker 2: ball nowher and.
Speaker 1: A real Those Chiefs, those Chiefs fans, they know ball. Well,
Speaker 1: here's us talking about NFL locker rooms at halftime. Take
Speaker 1: a look.
Speaker 4: Would there ever be a player that took a shower
Speaker 4: at halftime?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: I used to think it was weird when guys would
Speaker 2: take their pads off. Some guys would take their pads
Speaker 2: off halftime. I like my stuff snug.
Speaker 3: You got the sweat, would you eat it halftime?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's always like pickles for the salt so you
Speaker 2: retain water. They always have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Speaker 2: That's a huge thing, you know, as Travis with crustables,
Speaker 2: they'd have sometimes they have chicken broth. If it was
Speaker 2: like a cold game, they have every kind of like
Speaker 2: power bar or protein bar or meal supplement bar.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They sometimes when it's like a you know, a high
Speaker 2: play first half, guys are.
Speaker 3: Kind of drained.
Speaker 2: Usually in the heat, you got to take in calories,
Speaker 2: a little more energy. Cool pregame shower, Oh, I shower
Speaker 2: like five six times before game because you you know,
Speaker 2: you wake up. I like to wake up shower. I like,
Speaker 2: I like hot water on my face. That helps me
Speaker 2: wake up. Then you hit the tubs, you know, warm up,
Speaker 2: do another shower, and then like you go do ball
Speaker 2: drills this that I don't like the sweat and then
Speaker 2: I'll do like another shower, a shower earth.
Speaker 3: I like five six showers a day.
Speaker 7: Also, day before the super Bowl, you're not practicing, right,
Speaker 7: like Friday is the last practice.
Speaker 2: Day before Super Bowl is usually a mental sharpen sharpening day,
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like your walk through your dress rehearsal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know each team they're at a hotel, so they'll
Speaker 2: probably clear out the ballroom. You have the whole hotel,
Speaker 2: and you'll go through the whole script. So you go
Speaker 2: through first and second down, all your first and second
Speaker 2: down plays, You'll go through all your third down plays,
Speaker 2: you go through all your red area plays, you go
Speaker 2: through your two point menu, you go through gotta have
Speaker 2: it plays just to get.
Speaker 3: That mental repea.
Speaker 2: So when it's game time, the more you know the material,
Speaker 2: the more you can be spontaneous with your play.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's when like instinctively things happen. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The showering question killed me. Does anybody take a shower
Speaker 1: at halftime?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, I would have never thought to ask that.
Speaker 14: Never, That is insane.
Speaker 2: I would feel weird being clean and wet pads, Like
Speaker 2: when you get out of the pool and the shower
Speaker 2: you don't want to put your swim trunks back on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're wet.
Speaker 2: It's weird, and then you gotta go playing execute great
Speaker 2: question though.
Speaker 1: Oh and then she was asking about you know, the Travis,
Speaker 1: the uncrustables and the food, what's in there. I know
Speaker 1: the Patriots were not an uncrustables team. I've picked your
Speaker 1: brain about this.
Speaker 3: We weren't. We weren't an uncrustables team because they didn't.
Speaker 1: Show up in the surf. There was the recent survey
Speaker 1: that broke the internet. Yeah, talking about how many uncrustables
Speaker 1: NFL teams consume, which is like it's like a you know,
Speaker 1: a small nation could eat that many.
Speaker 2: They're delicious, but I don't think they're really good for you.
Speaker 2: We used to have like four different types of pbmj's.
Speaker 2: For me, we would have a gluten free bread with
Speaker 2: an almond butter and a strawberry preserve which was no
Speaker 2: added sugar, lovely healthy. You could get that in peanut
Speaker 2: butter or almond butter depending if you wanted that on
Speaker 2: that bread, you could change from white bread. And there
Speaker 2: was also a multi grain bread, and there was also
Speaker 2: like a fairly unhealthier version where they would use a
Speaker 2: regular jelly instead of like that preserve shit with either
Speaker 2: an almond butter or peanut butter. And then there was
Speaker 2: also a peanut butter honey banana option, and there'd be
Speaker 2: all they would they would cut them up, our little
Speaker 2: lunch ladies. They would make these and they would suran
Speaker 2: wrap them by halves and you'd have labeling on every
Speaker 2: single one and they'd work their tails off for that,
Speaker 2: and guys and you had beautiful sections of different ones.
Speaker 1: You go and pick what you want everyday.
Speaker 2: No, this was every day before practice, and then they
Speaker 2: had them in a halftime and pregame right before practice
Speaker 2: usually so guys could get a quick calorie, get some carbs,
Speaker 2: load up for practice, you know, cause there it is
Speaker 2: a good, real well rounded snack with carbohydrate sugar, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, for some for fuel, and then
Speaker 2: a little peanut butter gives you a little protein.
Speaker 4: Which one are you grabbing?
Speaker 3: I'd always mix it up.
Speaker 2: I'd always go, like I get the healthy gluten free ones,
Speaker 2: and then I'd have like one multi grain, like I
Speaker 2: go healthy gluten free strawberry preserve almond butter, two halves
Speaker 2: of those, and then I'd take a real id take
Speaker 2: a hat like a bite of a multi grain peanut
Speaker 2: butter and like grape jelly, like shit. And I always
Speaker 2: like taking a little chaser, just chase I would whole
Speaker 2: thing Tom used to just eat. He would never eat
Speaker 2: the crust.
Speaker 3: I remember that. I think I think he would just
Speaker 3: eat the white part of it and he'd leave the crust.
Speaker 3: Is this gluten free or is this like the he
Speaker 3: used to have the gluten free ones?
Speaker 1: I believe Heay, we know a man killer. Trav loves
Speaker 1: those uncustables.
Speaker 3: Oh who doesn't love it. If we had holds, we'd
Speaker 3: eat them.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever had one. I never had one.
Speaker 2: People love him, it's just we didn't. But there's something
Speaker 2: about a homemade one. That's why Maryann and all the
Speaker 2: ladies in the back appreciate you.
Speaker 3: Shout out. Our next moment is sponsored by Corvis Vodka
Speaker 3: Shot a clock.
Speaker 2: Here's the story of Thailand negotiating his contract with Bill Belichick.
Speaker 2: What's your best Bill Belichick story? All right, look, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: we know what all right?
Speaker 3: Look all right.
Speaker 9: So it was a situation where you know, I was
Speaker 9: going through you know, some contract, you know, some contract
Speaker 9: stuff before and Bill was like, hey, we need to
Speaker 9: restructure your contract.
Speaker 8: And I was like, well it was just.
Speaker 9: Gonna be like an extension, you know what I mean,
Speaker 9: you just save some some cap space or whatever, and
Speaker 9: I was like, you know, okay, But after we got
Speaker 9: it on down, I'm like, man, so that's a fucking
Speaker 9: paint cut.
Speaker 11: I ain't saving me. No, I ain't saving me no money.
Speaker 9: I don't even gott to send my age and this ship,
Speaker 9: you know, you know what I mean. But then we
Speaker 9: went through it, and then so he hits me and
Speaker 9: it was a good friend uh you know, on the team.
Speaker 9: I ain't gonna say no names. I can't put it
Speaker 9: out there like that. And he was like, hey, look,
Speaker 9: if you don't restructure this, man, we're gonna we have
Speaker 9: to cut your boy. I was like, well, I guess
Speaker 9: he cut ass.
Speaker 8: I ain't giving your ship, you know.
Speaker 9: I'm like, I ain't happen, I said, I guess, I
Speaker 9: guess I go tell my boy that, hey, bro, hey man,
Speaker 9: get your neck something like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: But like I said, we were, well, you know, but
Speaker 9: that's Bill being Bill and out there. So we end up, uh,
Speaker 9: we end up working out our restructured. I said, look,
Speaker 9: I don't care about as long as I'm getting paid.
Speaker 9: The same thing is because I didn't call in and
Speaker 9: try to get no more money and even though a
Speaker 9: lot of stuff got blown out of proportion. We worked
Speaker 9: it out. I restructured my contract. My dog was still there,
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, and you know we move on.
Speaker 9: But all we had to do was just we didn't
Speaker 9: even have to go through all that, Oh Bill, you know,
Speaker 9: you know they try to do that in test you loty.
Speaker 9: Coach Parceales tried me when I was a rookie, but
Speaker 9: I like, I like to say, I'm a little bit
Speaker 9: of a different breed. I got a mind of my own.
Speaker 9: So now they came in and put me at the
Speaker 9: end zone. The end zone was even better, but it
Speaker 9: was still shitty when you was there, right the end
Speaker 9: Zone hotel. I lived there for a couple of months,
Speaker 9: but when I came for my visit, it was myself
Speaker 9: Curtis Martin. They ended up drafting both of us. You
Speaker 9: know how you just go on the business they want
Speaker 9: to talk to your interview and stuff like that. So
Speaker 9: Coach Parceales brought me into the office and say, look,
Speaker 9: hey man, we like you, but we don't like who
Speaker 9: you got representing you. He'say, you know those those posting brothers.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 9: He said, I can't draft you with that.
Speaker 11: So I'm sitting there myself. People had me traject to go.
Speaker 9: To the Detroit Lions at number I think they had
Speaker 9: the twenty first pick of the draft.
Speaker 11: And I'm sitting like, you know what, after what I've seen.
Speaker 9: Looking at Foxboro Stadium and seeing all these trailer parks
Speaker 9: up here, and I'm like, man, okay, that made me
Speaker 9: keep my agent even more because I ain't man y'all.
Speaker 1: You couldn't even put me in a Marriotte.
Speaker 9: You couldn't put me. You know, I'm thinking I'm about
Speaker 9: to go to the league, you know.
Speaker 11: Rich call and get some room service and some ship
Speaker 11: like that.
Speaker 9: Man, bruh. I was not trying to come to the
Speaker 9: wind just because of that. But when he told me.
Speaker 9: But when he told me that, what he tried to
Speaker 9: do is get into you know, a young guy's head.
Speaker 9: See what you think. That's the divide and conquer, you know, mentality,
Speaker 9: saying that you know you might want to draft me.
Speaker 9: You know I don't know that. But if you think
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go and fire my agent just because of
Speaker 9: what you said, even if I had my agent and
Speaker 9: I'm with you and you don't want to get the
Speaker 9: deal done, you needn't know that that's not happening. So
Speaker 9: he my agent brought it up to Bill Parcells, and
Speaker 9: Bill was like, I had to try because hey, this
Speaker 9: wasn't and I got you know, at that time, you know,
Speaker 9: I got a nice rookie deal, you know, which was
Speaker 9: I got equivalent to like the seventeenth pick, even though
Speaker 9: I was a twenty third pick. And then of course
Speaker 9: when you know, when it was time to you know,
Speaker 9: really get paid, you know, for the highest paid defensive
Speaker 9: back in in the league.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a production business, exactly, exactly business, yes exactly,
Speaker 2: you get paid, you get that production. But that's funny
Speaker 2: that he tried to ok Q, Oh you tried to
Speaker 2: go me twice. That's the Bill, want to give you
Speaker 2: one more.
Speaker 3: Let's hear it.
Speaker 9: Okay, since we're out there and everything gone. Now so
Speaker 9: now now I had a in my contracy. Oh god,
Speaker 9: damn it.
Speaker 3: Shot a clock clock.
Speaker 2: I mean we're talking Bill, you got you got thet girl, pineapple, we.
Speaker 11: Got, were about to about to mess with Bill a
Speaker 11: little bit. Cheers. We love him, we love him.
Speaker 4: Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 9: So let's let's go to Bill's ass, right, So he
Speaker 9: is we drinking and thinking ship. All right, So Bill
Speaker 9: I had a contract, so of course you know, he came,
Speaker 9: you know from the Jessie you know. And at the time,
Speaker 9: I was the only person on the roster that was
Speaker 9: still in the Pete Carroll's contract. So I signed a
Speaker 9: big deal. I was with Pete. You know, Pete really
Speaker 9: went to bat and like I said, I earned my shit.
Speaker 9: But I was under that contract. So you know how
Speaker 9: it is, they can touch your contract once. Once they
Speaker 9: touch it, you can't touch it for the rest of
Speaker 9: the year, you know what I mean. They would try
Speaker 9: to avoid me, like the play so next to Drew,
Speaker 9: I was next, but they would go to everybody else
Speaker 9: because they knew, you know at the time that I
Speaker 9: don't come mess with me about that shit. That's that
Speaker 9: that's not happening. So anyway, I had a bonus in
Speaker 9: my contract where I get X amount of dollars if
Speaker 9: I come and make weight. And I had a reporting bonus.
Speaker 9: So I had a reporting bonus, you know.
Speaker 3: Because it's you had a weight had a weight clause.
Speaker 9: Huh No, that's what's part of my reporting was I
Speaker 9: I gotta come on time, make weight past the conditioning test. Yeah,
Speaker 9: we all got that exactly. I got a million dollars
Speaker 9: from mine workout bonus million bucks. No, that was reporting bonus.
Speaker 9: My workout bonus was one hundred thousand, you know.
Speaker 2: So that's what just in case they catch you, Just
Speaker 2: in case they catch you.
Speaker 3: They save a mil Yeah. Yeah, they know you could
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 11: That was enough.
Speaker 9: To come in and like I said, I was going
Speaker 9: to pass the conditioning. Say, I'll give a damn if
Speaker 9: I had to sit in a sign for fifty hours straight,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna get that damn bonus, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: But it was one hundred thousand. So you know when
Speaker 9: I came in, I got the Uh. I came in
Speaker 9: and got my checks, you know what I mean. At
Speaker 9: the time, you know, you got direct direct deposit, but
Speaker 9: you get your receipt. So I got I got one.
Speaker 9: I'm like, where's my damn where my other with my
Speaker 9: little hundred thousand net. So of course, you know, I
Speaker 9: go down, they say, I go upstairs, and they say
Speaker 9: you gotta go talk to Bill. I'm like, well, ship, okay,
Speaker 9: hey Bill, I missed one hundred thousand. And he's like, well,
Speaker 9: he said, we didn't talk to year. I said, what
Speaker 9: we're talking about because I went to Bob Cursey, you know,
Speaker 9: the great Bob Cursey Olympic you know, gold medal winning coach.
Speaker 9: I trained with him. I never stayed in the off season,
Speaker 9: you know, for the program. So you know, I got
Speaker 9: under my contract as long as it was approved by
Speaker 9: the head coach of GM, which it always was, I
Speaker 9: get both checks. So he said, we didn't talk this
Speaker 9: year because we talked last year because, like I said,
Speaker 9: he was fairly new to it and he approved it
Speaker 9: was fine. So I was just assume it's like that
Speaker 9: every year I was. I signed this ship when you
Speaker 9: was a jet. You remember you was a jet when
Speaker 9: I when I signed this contract. So when you came
Speaker 9: here this we talked.
Speaker 3: Jet for you guys. That's a little child, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: profession exact, yeah exactly.
Speaker 9: So now he said there, it's like no, I'm like
Speaker 9: Bill Man, all right. So I called my financial advisor.
Speaker 9: I was like, Yo, did that million clear yet?
Speaker 15: Not yet?
Speaker 9: So you know, I went out, I left and I
Speaker 9: came back. So Bill know me. So I'm coming back
Speaker 9: in and bearsh He was like hey, he said, he's
Speaker 9: in there. Bill had my contracts sitting on He had
Speaker 9: my contracts, sitting on the laid out laid out highlighted
Speaker 9: he had to ship highlighted, saying, hey, it has to
Speaker 9: be approved of this da da dada language. I'm like,
Speaker 9: and it was always approved. You was a fucking jit,
Speaker 9: he said, well, Andy Wiser, Chuck, it's no longer GM
Speaker 9: and I'm the head coach, and I say nothing by
Speaker 9: So I was like, all right, I just took my
Speaker 9: ass to the locker room, got my stuff out the thing,
Speaker 9: and I walked on out. I was gone for three days.
Speaker 9: See it what no social media and all that stuff.
Speaker 9: So I was gone for three days, bro, and finally
Speaker 9: got the call because they got to call you and say,
Speaker 9: and this is during training camp. But I know in
Speaker 9: training camp you cannot find me more than twelve hundred
Speaker 9: dollars a day. So as far it was one thousand
Speaker 9: dollars day at the time.
Speaker 3: Twenty now huh oh yeah, unexcused absence, Yeah, so it.
Speaker 9: Was it was a thout. It was like it was
Speaker 9: it was it was it five thousand? Was it five thousand? Yeah,
Speaker 9: it was five thousand. So I said, as far as
Speaker 9: I'm concerned, I got twenty practices. I'll be back at
Speaker 9: at uh, on day twenty one to get that six
Speaker 9: million salary. I'll be back for that. But if I'm
Speaker 9: lose on a hundred thousand'ma lose this shit, legit. So
Speaker 9: I was. I was gone, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: So eventually Bears called me down the phone, bring your
Speaker 9: ass down here. Got it out all right? I said, Bill,
Speaker 9: want my money? He said, you come down here. We
Speaker 9: talk about that ship later. So I go.
Speaker 3: Principles off.
Speaker 9: So he told me to come to go to the
Speaker 9: game because we were playing down in Washington.
Speaker 3: So you didn't practice all camp.
Speaker 8: No I did.
Speaker 9: I was gone for three days. I left three days
Speaker 9: is because guess what? Because what the million cleared?
Speaker 3: Okay, that was clear.
Speaker 9: That was in the bank. So as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 9: I got one hundred thousand dollars right here. That's out there,
Speaker 9: and to me where I come from, that's a lot
Speaker 9: of goddamn money.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money.
Speaker 9: Anyway.
Speaker 8: That's the kind that you.
Speaker 9: Don't get a financial advise. You get him a million,
Speaker 9: but you keep a hundred thousand yourself. You know, you
Speaker 9: don't do do what you gotta do, you know, that's
Speaker 9: that's the pocket change at that time. You know, when
Speaker 9: you get there's a lot of money, but two things. So,
Speaker 9: like I said, where I come from, that's life changing.
Speaker 9: So for me, I was like, I'm not that guy.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna leave and I'll be back. But they also
Speaker 9: had the status of who I was too, so I
Speaker 9: knew that as well. So do what you gotta do.
Speaker 9: So I left. He called me, get your ass on
Speaker 9: the plane. We go on the wall. I think we
Speaker 9: was washing pre season. He didn't start me. He put
Speaker 9: me in with the goddamn scrubs bro Willie Willing.
Speaker 1: And everybody hot dogs on sidelines, laughing and ship.
Speaker 11: So he puts me in.
Speaker 9: So now all the guys on the other side, they're
Speaker 9: really going, you know, they trying to make it. I'm
Speaker 9: getting cut and all out, like man, you know that
Speaker 9: williing It was clown and laughing. Right. So we comes
Speaker 9: back and next day he had to come in. On Monday,
Speaker 9: I didn't even take my stuff off. I was at
Speaker 9: the I was at the table eating breakfast, stealed my
Speaker 9: clothes on. You know, Bill came, but I would envelope.
Speaker 9: He saturday into me. It's like fucking asshole. So I
Speaker 9: was like, open up. Chick eighty five thousand, adopt.
Speaker 1: Me three days freaking Bill.
Speaker 11: Hey, Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's Bill for you.
Speaker 3: Though, Tyla, that was he had the nuthouse jumping. I
Speaker 3: know those talks with Bill Way too.
Speaker 15: Well.
Speaker 1: I don't envy you for those. I'm getting secondhand uncomfortability.
Speaker 3: He knows what he's doing too.
Speaker 1: He just grabbed a raw handful of checksmen. Think about it,
Speaker 1: Corners you in the lunch room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just think about it. This guy's like a This
Speaker 2: guy's been doing this for forty years. He's like a
Speaker 2: sixty year old man. You're like twenty three years old,
Speaker 2: just got out of college, and you're trying to get
Speaker 2: negotiating with the fucking guy that has done thousands of
Speaker 2: these contracts, just waiting for you to slip up. Hey,
Speaker 2: fu fucked age. We don't need the age, which I'm joking, joking.
Speaker 2: You never said that. We'll be right back after this
Speaker 2: quick break. It's pretty crazy to think we had Ernie
Speaker 2: Adams on the show three.
Speaker 3: Times regular unbelievable, not just.
Speaker 2: In Boston, but we also had him here in the Nuthouse,
Speaker 2: West Cross Country.
Speaker 3: Trip, Earn Dog. He's man, he is our guy.
Speaker 2: Well, the smartest guy we know, one of the greatest
Speaker 2: player personnel guys. Low key, he wore so many hats.
Speaker 2: But here's Ernie's take. And when the Patriots knew Tom
Speaker 2: Brady was going to be great, do you remember the
Speaker 2: scouting process when you guys were scouting Brady?
Speaker 6: You know really it was Yeah, the number one thing
Speaker 6: you want to see our football player is what does
Speaker 6: he do in the games? I mean it's you know,
Speaker 6: that is it's kind of a bottom line business. And
Speaker 6: when you get somebody who goes in and plays well
Speaker 6: in the games, that's what gets your attention. And we had,
Speaker 6: you know, one one person you never knew, a great guy,
Speaker 6: Dick Raybine was our quarterback coach, who unfortunately died during
Speaker 6: training camp in two thousand and one. They had, i
Speaker 6: mean got on treadmill and you know, had a had
Speaker 6: a harder show and he died. But you know, you
Speaker 6: get you know, you look, you don't try to make
Speaker 6: it too complicated. If a guy goes in the game
Speaker 6: against good competition and play as well, that is what
Speaker 6: we're trying to do. It's not about you know, the
Speaker 6: combine stuff, which is important, but you know, it's really
Speaker 6: what does the guy do when he gets on the
Speaker 6: field against good competition, and so you get great, Hey,
Speaker 6: have a great bowl game against Alabama. I mean, you know,
Speaker 6: and play well when you when you're in there. There's
Speaker 6: a lot of things as a player you can't control,
Speaker 6: but what you can control is what you actually do
Speaker 6: when you get out on the field.
Speaker 3: He always to talk about that. When did you know
Speaker 3: he was a killer?
Speaker 6: You know, when I first Tom's rookie year in two thousand,
Speaker 6: he was like he was with a third string quarterback
Speaker 6: and he was not gonna get in the game. I mean,
Speaker 6: you know, unless you say, look, if you have two
Speaker 6: guys get injured in the same game, he can get in.
Speaker 14: But it wasn't gonna happen.
Speaker 6: And after practice he would go he would go grab
Speaker 6: our young rookie tight end Chris Heisman and take him
Speaker 6: over on the side and make Chris run patterns for him.
Speaker 6: But it wasn't just running patterns. Tom wanted to call
Speaker 6: the play. It's third and six, all right, iights, this
Speaker 6: is the play.
Speaker 14: We're gonna run.
Speaker 6: Call it out, you know, just Tom wanted to put
Speaker 6: himself through the situation. Here's the way I'm gonna call
Speaker 6: the play in this situation.
Speaker 14: It's not just.
Speaker 6: Let's just go, you know, go run around, play catch.
Speaker 6: You know, he has to think in a game, thinking situations.
Speaker 6: And you know, and I always figured if a player
Speaker 6: is gonna stay out light after somebody, should.
Speaker 14: You know, honor him by going over from watching. I'm
Speaker 14: just standing watching this.
Speaker 6: You know, this guy, he's really trying to get ready
Speaker 6: to play, even though he has no chance of playing
Speaker 6: this week. And of course Tom's the guy if he
Speaker 6: wanted to get in the right stance. How do you
Speaker 6: get in the right stance. You practice it in front
Speaker 6: of the mirror.
Speaker 14: You just do. You know, being.
Speaker 6: Obsessive compulsive can get you in trouble sometimes, but you
Speaker 6: can also lead to great results.
Speaker 14: And that's the way I kind of look at that.
Speaker 6: You know, Tom is the ultimate obsessive compulsive, you know,
Speaker 6: among players, because he's not you know, Tom Brady didn't
Speaker 6: just drop out of the sky a Hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 14: He made himself into a Hall of fam quarterback.
Speaker 6: And when people would tell me at the draft, I
Speaker 6: work hard as Brady, You're for of shit. You have
Speaker 6: no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 14: And that's the.
Speaker 3: Correct I mean, I got there.
Speaker 2: He already had three super Bowls and he was still
Speaker 2: flying in a coach week eleven to work on his
Speaker 2: little fundamentals after a practice.
Speaker 14: Hey, but you know what.
Speaker 2: That was when he he was a four. You know
Speaker 2: that that's what people don't see.
Speaker 6: They don't see, they don't understand. And that was kind
Speaker 6: of like when I was talking about being impressed with
Speaker 6: Peyton Manning warming up before the game. When it's football now,
Speaker 6: I mean, it's dead ass serious every time. Yeah, there's
Speaker 6: there's no You don't take any plays off in practice.
Speaker 3: He never did, never did.
Speaker 6: And you know what he would if if you ran
Speaker 6: around first time he told Joe's we really want to
Speaker 6: do it this way, and then he expects you to
Speaker 6: get it right that second time. Hey, if you might
Speaker 6: not quite understand the first time, that's not a problem.
Speaker 6: Screwing up after we explained it to you, that's a problem.
Speaker 1: Put him in the hall.
Speaker 3: Put in the hall, right, gotta be. I just watched
Speaker 3: that that.
Speaker 2: Uh. I just saw another clip of him explaining his
Speaker 2: cards about the Malcolm Butler catch. Another one, and we
Speaker 2: were practicing that days before. Whin's your super Bowls? When's
Speaker 2: your Super Bowls? Next up, Uncle T, Uncle t Man,
Speaker 2: Uncle Ter. Here's the four time Super Bowl champion talking
Speaker 2: about how heated practices got back in the day, back
Speaker 2: in the diggity diggity day day.
Speaker 10: Why in practice one day I threw a pass and
Speaker 10: for some reason he mad at John kob or something.
Speaker 10: He came through and he decked me, knocked me back over,
Speaker 10: ask kettle, helmet flew off. Practice practice. We practiced in
Speaker 10: full pass. I found the football and I got a
Speaker 10: bound through it. I've tried to kill him. Nobody Chuck
Speaker 10: Noble's probably he didn't mind it, but I have to
Speaker 10: shit knocked out of me.
Speaker 3: Boss pissed.
Speaker 1: He came over and I say, let me tell you something.
Speaker 4: Mad Dog.
Speaker 1: You may lose with me, but you'll never win without me.
Speaker 10: Got that and I walked over us, steaming tip my
Speaker 10: helmet off. Y'all sit on your helmets and practice, and
Speaker 10: we did. I said on my helmet, I'm over there
Speaker 10: and none. I'm mad because nobody got in a fight.
Speaker 10: Nobody fought for me.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's it.
Speaker 11: Nobody gave me shit.
Speaker 10: I don't know when I'm over by myself and here.
Speaker 4: Comes mad Dog.
Speaker 10: He comes over and he kind of had that high pitch.
Speaker 3: What what that guy give me that saying? What was
Speaker 3: that saying?
Speaker 13: What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: You know what that saying? You threw it about?
Speaker 1: What you said?
Speaker 3: What what was that? You said?
Speaker 14: Huh?
Speaker 4: And he had his tooth missing, and I said, I
Speaker 4: know what you're talking you.
Speaker 10: You said, tom Bob, we're gonna win, may lose, I said,
Speaker 10: And I got to thinking what did I say? And
Speaker 10: so he sat down the next thing I know, it's like, hey,
Speaker 10: pull up a chair, pull up a helmet. So we
Speaker 10: started going, Okay, you knocked me down. I got pissed.
Speaker 10: I hit you with the football. You came at me.
Speaker 10: I pointed at you.
Speaker 13: And what did I say?
Speaker 1: He said something about you're gonna win with me? Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you may lose with me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it that. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna lose with me.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not gonna lose with you.
Speaker 4: You may lose with me?
Speaker 14: Then what.
Speaker 4: And it took us thirty minutes, but you'll never win
Speaker 4: with that?
Speaker 3: But that's it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh I like that.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 13: I said, well, I like it too.
Speaker 4: That's an original.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And to this day that was always of course,
Speaker 10: he passed away. God bless Joe Green will say bon
Speaker 10: Bamber said, you may lose with me, but you'll never
Speaker 10: win without me.
Speaker 1: Man. It kind of became the theme of their defense.
Speaker 4: They used to use it all the time.
Speaker 3: You know what is that not football right there?
Speaker 2: So you guys get in a fight, Yeah you want to,
Speaker 2: or you guys, there's something.
Speaker 13: That happensre's a disagreement.
Speaker 2: That same thing happened to me and uh Gilmore. Remember
Speaker 2: Stefan Gilmore. We just signed him. We just signed him,
Speaker 2: and I was pissed. They gave him fourteen million dollars.
Speaker 2: I'm over here, you know, we just want a super Bowl.
Speaker 2: We're on our second you know, we got super bowls?
Speaker 2: Like they paid this guy fourteen million dollars.
Speaker 4: Been routing over how many years?
Speaker 3: It was fourteen a year?
Speaker 14: What?
Speaker 2: Yeah, When Stefan Gilmore came to the Pats, he was
Speaker 2: the highest paid corner, which he's a He was a
Speaker 2: fucking stud and made me a lot better. But I
Speaker 2: was pissed the first day he came in. He was
Speaker 2: a buffalo bill. You know, I wanted to show him
Speaker 2: first day of pads, this is how we fucking practice here.
Speaker 2: He kind of hems me up on a flag route.
Speaker 2: We get into it, I take his helmet off. I
Speaker 2: started punching him. Belichick goes, you too, get the fuck
Speaker 2: off the field.
Speaker 3: Hit the showers, really, so we have to. It's first
Speaker 3: day of pads.
Speaker 13: You gotta go shower with the guy.
Speaker 3: So it was the first fucking period, Uncle Terry. It
Speaker 3: was the first period.
Speaker 8: I didn't a water hole was outside.
Speaker 2: But just like you and your teammate, you guys were,
Speaker 2: we start walking back and we're pissed off at each other,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you know, we get into
Speaker 2: the locker room and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's one of those things.
Speaker 2: Where when you go back out to practice because they
Speaker 2: told us, get out, which was the best. If I
Speaker 2: would have known that, I would have done that so
Speaker 2: many more times. Get out of practice, training, camp, practice,
Speaker 2: first day of pats.
Speaker 3: Get the fucking I started doing that, smartened up, going.
Speaker 1: Up against the steel curtain every day in practice. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: You may lose with me, but you'll never win without me.
Speaker 2: Harry put that in.
Speaker 4: A T shirt.
Speaker 3: That is fucking of.
Speaker 2: He's he's such He's so good at storytelling and and
Speaker 2: sayings that guy aspired to be him.
Speaker 1: Terry's always got a good turn of phrase. He always
Speaker 1: he was dropping serious.
Speaker 3: Knowledge and in the accent tops everything off.
Speaker 1: It does, it does.
Speaker 3: There's nothing like.
Speaker 2: Having a hillbilly accent. I think I've heard him call
Speaker 2: himself a hill billy.
Speaker 1: Oh, Terry will say it.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, but I mean, I think it makes
Speaker 2: you that, it makes it makes you funnier and Terry Terry.
Speaker 1: People get the knock on Terry was because of his accent.
Speaker 1: I think in the pros but that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: But in that underestimated underestimated him. Look at him now,
Speaker 1: he's an American treasure.
Speaker 3: What a game.
Speaker 4: The reception, Oh, that's a great episode.
Speaker 2: We can't do a best without including our old Powell, Robbie,
Speaker 2: g Robby. You know, here's Gronk and I talking about
Speaker 2: Cam Chancellor and all those ferocious hits. Yeah, I remember
Speaker 2: that play. Everyone talks about a concussion.
Speaker 15: He got concussion that play.
Speaker 3: Remember they got hit by Cam Chancellor.
Speaker 4: That explains everything, Joe, can you walk us through that play?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean on the punt return before that, I took
Speaker 2: a hip shot, so I returned the punt. We went
Speaker 2: into no huddle right away because we knew there was
Speaker 2: what seven minutes left, and you know, we kind of
Speaker 2: boosted the urgency. We needed some kind of spark on offense.
Speaker 2: A lot of times you get in no huddle it
Speaker 2: you know, it gets the offense going, you can move
Speaker 2: the ball, keeps one defense on the field, you can get.
Speaker 3: Some plays called.
Speaker 2: So we went into no huddle and then it was
Speaker 2: this third and fourteen and I'm already fucking. My hip
Speaker 2: is tugging because I took a hit pointer on the
Speaker 2: punt return, so in between plays it would be tugging,
Speaker 2: and then your adrenaline kicks in right before play.
Speaker 3: It was, you know, ten f stalk.
Speaker 2: I think it was triple left triple in which you
Speaker 2: know you got the the in cut the under. We
Speaker 2: were flooding the zone and I had the deep end
Speaker 2: on the back side. And you have a quarterback clock
Speaker 2: in your head when you're running routes, especially if you're
Speaker 2: running a deep route over the middle. You know, usually
Speaker 2: that ball is hit to you on the numbers on
Speaker 2: an incut, you know, because you have it's middle of
Speaker 2: the field closed, meaning there's a middle field safety and
Speaker 2: that anytime you get past that, he gets involved, and
Speaker 2: that's when big hits come. So I'm running the route
Speaker 2: and I get to the top of the route, I'm
Speaker 2: I'm I'm.
Speaker 3: Still running, and I'm still running.
Speaker 2: And so Tom, he had to do something, gets into
Speaker 2: the pocket, steps up and it's late in my head,
Speaker 2: so you know you're about to take a fucking hit.
Speaker 2: So he zips it across the middle. I'm probably halfway
Speaker 2: in between the field, so you know, there's a there's
Speaker 2: there's a shark lurkin. That's that middlefield safety. So you
Speaker 2: better dig in, you better prepare for the hit. And
Speaker 2: that's why I brought it into the body and I
Speaker 2: clinched right before I hit it, and Cam hit me,
Speaker 2: and it like hit me hard, and I didn't know
Speaker 2: if I was down.
Speaker 3: I was good.
Speaker 2: I braced myself for the hit. So a lot of
Speaker 2: people think I was knocked out that play because of
Speaker 2: how I tried to get up at the end, you know,
Speaker 2: but that's when the adrenaline kicked. My hip pulled. I
Speaker 2: tried to get up in my hip pulled. If anyone
Speaker 2: who's had a hit pointer, you had hit pointers. When
Speaker 2: you get that hit pointer, it singes on you and
Speaker 2: it pulls all those muscles in your hip.
Speaker 3: So like when the.
Speaker 2: Adalin's down, that thing just starts singing on me and
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, and everyone thinks I can't get up
Speaker 2: because I'm staggered because of the hit, which it was
Speaker 2: a fucking hit, and I felt the hit. Don't get
Speaker 2: me wrong, Cam chancers a fucking dog, but it was
Speaker 2: because of my hip and there was no concussion. So
Speaker 2: everyone out there, oh, the concussion wrong? No, dude, take
Speaker 2: a little tea spoon of cement, go up, You pick
Speaker 2: up your goddamn self.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Toughness, toughness, Rob.
Speaker 7: What's funny about that play is when we were doing
Speaker 7: your documentary, we tried to license that footage for that
Speaker 7: k It's a big play to get into the NFL.
Speaker 4: There was no penalty called.
Speaker 7: There's nothing, There was no fine allowing legal play in
Speaker 7: the eyes of the NFL. We tried to license that
Speaker 7: footage for the documentary. They go, no shot, that doesn't
Speaker 7: represent the NFL, so it was never in the movie.
Speaker 4: No flag though, no fine, wild.
Speaker 3: I didn't need a flag, It didn't need a fine.
Speaker 7: Let me use it, let me use it, Let me
Speaker 7: give you the money I'll put in.
Speaker 3: The movie Football.
Speaker 4: They said it didn't represent That was a heck of
Speaker 4: a play by you.
Speaker 5: You remember that by Cam Chancellor like that and to
Speaker 5: make that catch and the hold on to it, you
Speaker 5: know how hard that is.
Speaker 2: And I remember him grunting too. He grunted when when
Speaker 2: we when we hit. You know, sometimes you hear somebody
Speaker 2: ever hear something.
Speaker 3: Guy goes, he's like.
Speaker 11: I was.
Speaker 8: I was like.
Speaker 3: I remember, I was like, ouch, still feeling it. Nah,
Speaker 3: I'm joking.
Speaker 2: It was my hip, my hip NFL spotter. The rule
Speaker 2: came in place after that hit.
Speaker 4: I want Cam on the show me too.
Speaker 2: And how can we forget Nicky Glazier for stopping by
Speaker 2: Nicky the Old nuthouse?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 2: I mean, here's us reminiscent of our Brady Roast experiences.
Speaker 2: I've watched Roast for as long as they've been around,
Speaker 2: and it kind of they kind of like chilled for
Speaker 2: a while since this whole you know, twenty two and
Speaker 2: twenty and how the world is kind of changed with the.
Speaker 17: Worst sensitive Yeah, And I felt like it.
Speaker 2: Kind of like the Roast we were on, there was
Speaker 2: like no holding anyone back. There was wild you know,
Speaker 2: what I mean. Everyone was hitting every joke and it
Speaker 2: was kind of it was it was it was like
Speaker 2: comedy was almost coming back.
Speaker 17: I felt that too.
Speaker 18: And I don't know that like if we would have
Speaker 18: submitted that script of what it ended up being to
Speaker 18: Netflix prior, they would have been like, no, we're not
Speaker 18: letting you do this, like there was I'm sure Netflix
Speaker 18: perused what was going to be said, but they weren't
Speaker 18: really I can't imagine anyone green lighting what was said
Speaker 18: that night. And even sitting there that night, I was thinking, oh, man, tomorrow,
Speaker 18: it's going to be like they went too hard. This
Speaker 18: was uh you know, did they did they cross the line?
Speaker 18: Is this the end of roast? Like because it was
Speaker 18: so harsh, but everyone seemed to just be like so
Speaker 18: excited about it. The next day it was not. There
Speaker 18: was not one headline of like it's too far, like
Speaker 18: not even one and it was.
Speaker 17: Too far to me at the time.
Speaker 3: It was pretty it was.
Speaker 2: It was great, but it was great for like for
Speaker 2: us like the athletes, when the civilians on the stage,
Speaker 2: when we went up there and when Kevin led it off.
Speaker 2: It was good to see Kevin like that was a
Speaker 2: teammate move. Like he showed like where the bar was
Speaker 2: set when he came out.
Speaker 17: Oh my god, so to relieved to.
Speaker 3: Be he said, oh he said that. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 17: What was the line he said that made you like.
Speaker 3: Where's the Brazilian jiu jitsu stuff?
Speaker 18: He was bringing it right away, yes, and he was
Speaker 18: showing you where the threshold was, like where we're willing
Speaker 18: to go.
Speaker 17: Absolutely I felt that way too.
Speaker 18: He was the best man and just like commenting after
Speaker 18: everyone set and like showing credit where it's due, like
Speaker 18: he was really a team player that night, where on
Speaker 18: a night where it is competitive and comedians aren't usually
Speaker 18: that generous with each other of like giving each other accolades, and.
Speaker 17: It was just it just it felt.
Speaker 18: But the roast is weird because you didn't know what
Speaker 18: other people were going to say, what other jokes people
Speaker 18: were doing. None of us had any idea what the
Speaker 18: other people were doing. So you're writing something like can
Speaker 18: I get away with it? Am I gonna be the
Speaker 18: only one who addresses this thing? And then when I
Speaker 18: heard you were doing an Aaron Hernandoz joke, like.
Speaker 17: I guess it's on the table that open world to me.
Speaker 18: No of course it was jokes, and you know, I
Speaker 18: think anything can be Jokes can be made about literally
Speaker 18: any topic. It's not like you're like making fun of
Speaker 18: the victim, like there's a certain way that it shouldn't
Speaker 18: be done, and that's not the way it was done
Speaker 18: that night. It was it was really refreshing. But there
Speaker 18: was just like I heard just like a hint that
Speaker 18: or like someone said, yeah, you know, Julian is a
Speaker 18: Aaron har Ant just joke, and I had been like,
Speaker 18: I can't do it because no one's going to go there,
Speaker 18: and then it just was like, yes, hell, yes, you
Speaker 18: killed so hard man, Like I'm we a comedian should kill,
Speaker 18: Like I should have done as well as I did,
Speaker 18: but like there's no precedent for you doing that well
Speaker 18: or Gronk doing that well. It really was like you
Speaker 18: all should have done as well as Brandy you think.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 18: I want to include Drew and that too. Drew was amazing.
Speaker 2: He was the first one to go out, so that's
Speaker 2: big ball baby killed.
Speaker 17: And him just sipping that wine being so calm and cool.
Speaker 18: I mean, it makes sense why you guys kill because
Speaker 18: you are used to these high pressure situations and maybe
Speaker 18: you would say that wouldn't have prepared you at all
Speaker 18: for that, but I think it has to. There's there's
Speaker 18: no way, like, how did all three of you kill
Speaker 18: like that?
Speaker 17: It just doesn't make sense, you know.
Speaker 2: I guess for myself and I want to ask you
Speaker 2: about your preparation process after. But for me, we saw
Speaker 2: each other at the store. Yeah, and Jeff was awesome
Speaker 2: to let me do the back ten twelve minutes of
Speaker 2: his of his set at the Comedy.
Speaker 3: Store, which good for you doing that. I was so terrified.
Speaker 2: I was shaking telling my jokes like this and I
Speaker 2: could barely talk. Thank god, there was like fifteen frat
Speaker 2: dudes from Nebraska that knew who I was, that loved football,
Speaker 2: so I felt comfortable.
Speaker 18: But good for you for doing that, because that's not
Speaker 18: easy to do, and no one wants to go run
Speaker 18: their set around town. But when I heard, like, I go,
Speaker 18: where's Tom running his set? And like he's just practicing
Speaker 18: in on his plane and stuff because obviously he can't
Speaker 18: go out to clubs, it makes sense.
Speaker 3: But I would be plain.
Speaker 18: I so scared to go do it for the first
Speaker 18: time without saying it, because I went around a lot
Speaker 18: to clubs to run it so good for you even
Speaker 18: going out?
Speaker 17: How many minutes did you go out and run it?
Speaker 3: Just once? Just once?
Speaker 2: I that one rep was everything for me because then
Speaker 2: once you got to the once we got to the roast,
Speaker 2: the only people that we really could see were people
Speaker 2: we knew. Yeah you know, and yeah you see Kim Gardashian,
Speaker 2: but like, oh yeah whatever, But like I saw like coaches,
Speaker 2: I saw friends, I saw so like that made it
Speaker 2: more comfortable for me. Yeah, I wasn't looking past.
Speaker 18: That, Okay, I you yeah, you destroyed. But then I
Speaker 18: think we all entered this part where like we would
Speaker 18: get on, we'd be nervous, and then the first laugh
Speaker 18: you get your calm like you like, and then you
Speaker 18: guys kind of like would lock into it and get
Speaker 18: excited about oh my god, they don't even know what's
Speaker 18: coming up.
Speaker 17: Because I could.
Speaker 18: See you guys, you and Gronk specifically having jokes land
Speaker 18: and then getting this like kind of like oh yes,
Speaker 18: I got it, like and then hitting this stride because
Speaker 18: it's it isn't.
Speaker 17: It a great feeling?
Speaker 2: I mean, I have so much respect for you know,
Speaker 2: comics and the comedy life. I mean I've gotten a
Speaker 2: note a little through Sam Moreau because we started the show.
Speaker 17: And Sam was, yeah, yeah, that's right, Sam so much.
Speaker 2: And so I would go hang out with him at
Speaker 2: the cellar and see all the other guys and kind
Speaker 2: of get a little in of how comics really are. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know, like, well, I think you guys are brilliant.
Speaker 2: People like to be able to like like when how
Speaker 2: you're impressed with play call remembering, Yeah, Like to be
Speaker 2: able to formulate a set and and say a joke
Speaker 2: in the first five minutes and it's an hour long set,
Speaker 2: tell a bunch of stuff like the story to meet
Speaker 2: this this, and then bring it back to someone somewhere
Speaker 2: like that's that's like, that's talent.
Speaker 3: I can't write. I'm not a good english person, so
Speaker 3: you would be able to.
Speaker 17: But you wrote some good English person.
Speaker 3: Here football fun, But.
Speaker 4: It's you.
Speaker 18: Did you not have a moment during your set where
Speaker 18: you were like, and I wrote that one was.
Speaker 3: That you did? Wrote wrote a couple of your jokes?
Speaker 4: Write a couple?
Speaker 3: Did you write we wrote the Hernandez joke?
Speaker 4: Didn't we came with something similar?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 9: This is.
Speaker 17: Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 1: Sam, Sam was in there with us, and Okay, Joe
Speaker 1: helped us out. He was awesome.
Speaker 17: It is a team team as well too.
Speaker 3: I'm not like at this and so I had to
Speaker 3: have I had people.
Speaker 17: I had a team too, so everyone does.
Speaker 2: I would basically, so how we how we did our
Speaker 2: jokes was I would tell a bunch of stories to
Speaker 2: our room of like things that I thought were funny,
Speaker 2: like how it was in the locker room or the
Speaker 2: shower thing, or you know, taking a piss next to
Speaker 2: Gronk and like because it was comedy.
Speaker 3: Every day when you go when Gronk was wrong, I
Speaker 3: take a piss every day.
Speaker 2: Gronk would look over the stall and look at my
Speaker 2: dick and say, like, man, you're looking good today.
Speaker 3: Like every day, but naked.
Speaker 2: Like like I would tell these stories and then we
Speaker 2: would formulate a joke. They would formulate a joke. It
Speaker 2: was crazy, It was It was so fun.
Speaker 17: Were you know of us?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was very nervous.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I was like, did it feel like Super Bowl nervous?
Speaker 2: My first Super Bowl was probably similar because it's unknown,
Speaker 2: but you know, football is the same and I'm comfortable
Speaker 2: with the game, and I was in the mindset, you know,
Speaker 2: you do the same thing that got you there.
Speaker 3: You'll be all right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're you're nervous for a super Bowl, but
Speaker 2: this is something that's like completely outside the comfort box.
Speaker 18: Like I don't know, like you say yes right away
Speaker 18: when they asked you, or were you like let me
Speaker 18: think about this.
Speaker 3: I said, no, you did Yeah.
Speaker 17: I was like, no shot, And then what made you
Speaker 17: do it?
Speaker 3: Something didn't hurt? I was like, all right, maybe I'll
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but I was I was scared, you know,
Speaker 2: like that's that's that's very.
Speaker 17: The relief when it was over, it.
Speaker 2: Was relief, but then it was also like I enjoyed it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was really you know, we just did a we
Speaker 2: just did a live show in Boston. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 2: saw that Wilbur at the Wilburg.
Speaker 3: Yeah you before.
Speaker 17: I've been there a lot.
Speaker 3: What a great room room. Yeah, job.
Speaker 2: It was so fun and like I was less nervous
Speaker 2: for that because of the roast, but I was still
Speaker 2: nervous for that. But I still had like I had
Speaker 2: a rep at being in front of people.
Speaker 3: Yes, and even though it was completely different.
Speaker 17: You don't like talk in front of people often.
Speaker 2: But I'm I'm it's a new world for me because man,
Speaker 2: I think she was m VP of that whole thing.
Speaker 1: She was the greatest roaster, greatest roast set of all time.
Speaker 1: Midway through the set, standing Oh had the forum like

Speaker 3: I got. So can you put mine is red please?
Speaker 1: Yeaheah, yeah, I'll go yours is red.
Speaker 15: So I can see.
Speaker 4: You got gronk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you got gronk.
Speaker 3: I liked uh. I thought Nikky Glazer was hilarious.
Speaker 8: She killed, she absolutely killed.
Speaker 4: I liked shol the eight ring joke, Yeah, so funny.
Speaker 19: And I also, I mean, like, obviously Jeff Ross crushed,
Speaker 19: but but I also couldn't have put him in the
Speaker 19: host category a little bit.
Speaker 2: But you know, but Jeff is Jeff is a pro edit.
Speaker 2: It's expected, but he also he also has jokes that
Speaker 2: are great jokes that don't necessarily kill you, right, he
Speaker 2: didn't didn't He didn't like these people were killing people.
Speaker 19: Dude, I don't know what. I don't know what the
Speaker 19: fuck I did to Sam Jay too, Like, dude, she
Speaker 19: got after me.
Speaker 8: Jesus I forgot about Oh my god, dude, she fucking
Speaker 8: buried me as she hurt my feelings. I cried, No
Speaker 8: you did. I didn't cry. I'm killing I'm kidding, And.
Speaker 2: I like Tony the ikind of Actually I'm going Will Ferrell,
Speaker 2: oh heck, yeah, well yeah, I love Will Farroll. He
Speaker 2: can go up there and and bomb. But as Ron Burgundy,
Speaker 2: I was. I was just sitting there like it was
Speaker 2: a movie.
Speaker 19: Did he he could literally walk out there as Ron
Speaker 19: Burgundy and just stand there and I would probably laugh
Speaker 19: for five minutes.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he. He could have just went out there
Speaker 2: with no preparation.
Speaker 19: Just bullshit it No, it was. It's genius stuff. So
Speaker 19: you know, I will tell you one thing. One thing
Speaker 19: I was that in the whole thing is I was
Speaker 19: really looking forward to Thom Cigar and Bert Kreischer, and
Speaker 19: I thought they're they're set together. I was like, non, no, no,
Speaker 19: let these guys go. Was scripted. Man, these guys are
Speaker 19: the freaking funniest, fre so funny, and I felt like
Speaker 19: it was a little too scripted and set up between
Speaker 19: the two of them.
Speaker 2: I think they they I think they started running out
Speaker 2: of spots.
Speaker 8: Oh gotcha, the you know what I mean, because they started.
Speaker 2: Like Bill Payton, right, everyone starts coming, and I think
Speaker 2: they all came with him like the last three or
Speaker 2: four days or.
Speaker 8: Committed right, all right, all right, bottom five, we'll keep it.
Speaker 3: At the top five.
Speaker 8: Okay, good, what do we do?
Speaker 4: Maybe too far?
Speaker 13: A joke of the night or joke.
Speaker 3: Kevin had a lot of those.
Speaker 8: Kind of.
Speaker 19: Okay, I'm trying to recall all of them. But now
Speaker 19: I I think the Antonio Brown bringing Gizelle's Oh yeah,
Speaker 19: that was that was I was like Jesus, because you know,
Speaker 19: I mean, we're sitting up there right and everything's funny, right,
Speaker 19: but you know there's gonna be cameras on us.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 19: That was one where I just went like, no, I'm
Speaker 19: not laughing at that ship. I am not laughing at
Speaker 19: that ship. I'm like putting my head down and I'm uh, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's what we got to rewatch it to see what
Speaker 2: I I hope I didn't fuck anything up.
Speaker 19: Yeah. But the other thing though they did, they did
Speaker 19: say because when they go back and like when they
Speaker 19: do the like the Comedy Central ones. I was talking
Speaker 19: to one of the producers. Apparently those deals go like
Speaker 19: five hours, which I want to go to one of those.
Speaker 19: I'll set in the audience, but they cut it, yeah,
Speaker 19: and then they edit it down to an hour. But
Speaker 19: then then they'll go back and like if you laugh
Speaker 19: at something in like the first five minutes, they'll take
Speaker 19: you for the twelve they'll they'll they'll put you, they'll
Speaker 19: put you back there. But yeah, I do want to
Speaker 19: see some of the some of the real actions. But
Speaker 19: how about you which joke? Which joke was like on
Speaker 19: that line a little bit over?
Speaker 2: keV set the he set the stage when he started
Speaker 2: throwing out Brazilian jiu jitsu right away.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 2: Was like, yo, okay here because then it made my
Speaker 2: jokes not as bad.
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, thank you, thank you exact Yeah right.
Speaker 4: The data way of Michael Vicker humans was.
Speaker 14: That was great?
Speaker 3: Who is that? Oh yeah, that was a great one.
Speaker 8: What they call him? They called him the.
Speaker 19: Like the next gen skinhead because he found a way
Speaker 19: for immigrants to beat each other.
Speaker 4: Up, or put immigrants in cages.
Speaker 8: Put immigrants in cages and.
Speaker 4: We're still Brazilians that are half their purse.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, dude, man, that was a fun night with Drew.
Speaker 1: Was awesome.
Speaker 3: He was a good sport. He was a great thick skin.
Speaker 2: You gotta have some two sea thick skin, you know,
Speaker 2: th h I C C.
Speaker 3: That's two c thick skins. Facts.
Speaker 1: I remember you rolled up into the nuthouse fresh off
Speaker 1: around at Riviera, fresh off the line. He came in
Speaker 1: here and brought the party and wing it.
Speaker 7: You and him throwing it in the back after just
Speaker 7: he was just ripping it so cool.
Speaker 1: Had not lost any tightness, he hadn't lost any of it.
Speaker 1: Drew killed it. He was the man killed it.
Speaker 3: Okay, what Matt light moment is just enough?
Speaker 2: Also from Matt Light episode, here's the story about Matt
Speaker 2: and Bill's exchange of the famous email.
Speaker 5: The most treasured thing that I own in my life
Speaker 5: is an email exchange between Bill Belichick and I. You
Speaker 5: ever get an email from Bill Belichick ever in your
Speaker 5: history of text message? Okay, but never an email. I've
Speaker 5: never spoken anybody that I've ever played with, or it
Speaker 5: came after me or before me that's ever received an
Speaker 5: email like Bill doesn't do human stuff right, Like that's
Speaker 5: like a that's like a like a human thing to do,
Speaker 5: like send an email. I got an email.
Speaker 3: What was his email saying?
Speaker 5: So I was a rep right and I was in Hawaii.
Speaker 2: The way, let me let me pay the picture for
Speaker 2: everyone out there. Light was a rep, a union rep.
Speaker 2: And Bill took all the everything out on the reps
Speaker 2: because they represented the union. And he hated like the
Speaker 2: time limits, like you guys, figure.
Speaker 3: It out what this fucking ship.
Speaker 5: And he couldn't do anything to us because he had
Speaker 5: VRABEL on myself. But I get home from Hawaii, long
Speaker 5: ass flight Hawaii. It was the union meetings were there,
Speaker 5: and so when I was the guy that they got
Speaker 5: him changed, I passed the resolution saying if I want
Speaker 5: to go to Hawaii, I.
Speaker 15: Go to Hawaii.
Speaker 5: I don't want to all the way Hawaii. Why don't
Speaker 5: we do this in the States. We got all these
Speaker 5: you know, and dude, I think half the island wanted
Speaker 5: to kill me because that was a big revenue. But anyway,
Speaker 5: neither here nor there. I get home and this is
Speaker 5: like way before you know, we live in this crazy
Speaker 5: time now where like we think it's always been the
Speaker 5: way it is. I mean back up ten years ago. Man,
Speaker 5: I wasn't checking emails from my cell phone.
Speaker 11: I had.
Speaker 5: Makes sense, Yeah, but you've got somebody.
Speaker 8: That will.
Speaker 3: I never know what she's doing that, what is she doing?
Speaker 11: What does she do?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: So I get home, I got Jay, I've got whatever
Speaker 5: it is, like Microsoft, whatever, and I get on my
Speaker 5: thing and I'm checking my emails and there's an email
Speaker 5: in my inbox Belichick Commo Bill and I'm thinking to myself,
Speaker 5: you know what I thought immediately, Thank God, finally one
Speaker 5: of my offensive linemen is busting my balls all the
Speaker 5: stuff I've done and nobody's really come at me. And
Speaker 5: then when I read it, I was like, coping, you
Speaker 5: son of a gun, because he's the only one smart
Speaker 5: enough at the time that would have done this. So
Speaker 5: I spend all night like I got home a like
Speaker 5: let's say ten thirty, and I missed the whole first
Speaker 5: week of the offseason program because because I was at
Speaker 5: the meetings, I had to go. So the next the
Speaker 5: next day was Monday, So I'm gonna be jumping in
Speaker 5: a week late, and I'm staying up till like one
Speaker 5: thirty in the morning, and I finally find a service
Speaker 5: where I can send an email and make it look
Speaker 5: like it came from someone else, and I know this
Speaker 5: is how Copin did it, So I write one to Copin.
Speaker 2: You spent six hours trying to forever, dude, forever.
Speaker 5: But by by the way, you know how it is.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 5: You find one and it says it works, and you
Speaker 5: test it and it doesn't work, you'll pay for something.
Speaker 5: I'm like, this is stupid.
Speaker 8: Anyway.
Speaker 5: If id one sent Coping an email walking the next morning,
Speaker 5: and I'm ready to go toe to toe, but you know,
Speaker 5: I'm never going to admit the shit. So when I
Speaker 5: walk past Copin, immediately he's like, you send me an email,
Speaker 5: didn't you? I'm like, did you send me an email?
Speaker 5: I'm like, what are you talking about? And he's like,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm talking about. I'm like, no, I
Speaker 5: don't know what you're talking about. Because he has to
Speaker 5: admit first what he did, and then oh, okay, let's
Speaker 5: talk about it because that was pretty good. Cope, that's
Speaker 5: pretty good. We go in, we get our workout done,
Speaker 5: he doesn't bring it up anymore, and then he comes
Speaker 5: back to me right when we get done working out
Speaker 5: and he's like, hey, you did send me an email.
Speaker 5: I'm like, no, I didn't send you an email. He's like,
Speaker 5: that's great because somebody send me an email and it
Speaker 5: looks like something you would do. And I'm like, all right, well,
Speaker 5: if I get an email that looks like something you
Speaker 5: would do, I'll let you know.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 5: And now as I'm walking out, we get done running, right,
Speaker 5: and I'm walking out for the day, I can't shake it.
Speaker 5: I'm like, he's not messing around. So I see Bears
Speaker 5: and I walk in his office and I'm like, hey, man,
Speaker 5: cause if it wasn't Coping, there's no one else smart enough.
Speaker 5: Bears must have sent it from Bill's email on behalf
Speaker 5: of someone else. And the minute I say something of
Speaker 5: the Bears, he's like, oh no, Bill, send you an email.
Speaker 5: I'm like, come on, man, not my first rodeo, right.
Speaker 5: He literally gets up, goes into Bill's office he's in
Speaker 5: the staff meeting, gets his computer to fire up, and
Speaker 5: shows me and his outlook on the scent box the
Speaker 5: email to me and it's the email and I'm like
Speaker 5: like immediately, I'm I'm like, oh man, damn. Like that
Speaker 5: goes up a notch, right, I'll read it for you.
Speaker 5: It's literally my prize possession. Yeah. So I get this
Speaker 5: and now I'm like, oh, this is legit. So I
Speaker 5: take like four or five days because you know me,
Speaker 5: I can't like not acknowledge this. I have to have
Speaker 5: some kind of a response. So I send my response
Speaker 5: and immediately I get one back. And the essence of
Speaker 5: what he sent back was We're never going to do
Speaker 5: this again. Number one. Because then the in the subject
Speaker 5: heading it was concluding remarks, right, no joke, no joke.
Speaker 5: That concluding remarks, and and and to this day, and
Speaker 5: what he wrote in there, I'm telling you this, I
Speaker 5: could lose everything every Super Bowl ring. I could care less. Man,
Speaker 5: Possessions like that mean nothing to me.
Speaker 2: This you gotta read it, read it.
Speaker 5: Get in there, man, text me and I got big
Speaker 5: fat fingers. So we've never had a conversation Bill Belichick,
Speaker 5: and I've never once spoken about this ever, so by
Speaker 5: I never break this out. It's one of these things
Speaker 5: that it kind of has to be in person, right, Okay,
Speaker 5: So here we go, here we go, all right, So
Speaker 5: just so you can see this, Saturday, April seventh, two
Speaker 5: thousand and seven, at two thirty four pm. Okay, so
Speaker 5: this is in undefeated season, yeah, going into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: well that's here, yeah, greed in the subject heading Greetings
Speaker 5: from the ne EP Off Season Program. Exclamation point. All right,
Speaker 5: oh okay, here we go. End quotes. That's how it starts.
Speaker 5: Not like hey, Matt, or just wanted to touch base
Speaker 5: with you, sir. It's a chance for us all to
Speaker 5: bond and start putting the wheels in motion for the
Speaker 5: following season. Left tackle Matt Light said in a recent interview,
Speaker 5: the foundation is put in place at this time of year.
Speaker 5: What you do in March, April, May and June, what
Speaker 5: you do in that mini camp, in the passing camp,
Speaker 5: it has a direct effect on the beginning of your season,
Speaker 5: and you have to come out of the gate swinging
Speaker 5: pretty hard. That's what we've been able to do around here.
Speaker 5: In the quote, I mean, that's kool aid.
Speaker 4: It's a good crew.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I got asked by a Hawaii about whatever I gave
Speaker 5: the typical you know, do your job speech. Right, Hey, Matt,
Speaker 5: just read this quote from you dot dot dot what
Speaker 5: the fuck question mark? And by the way, so you
Speaker 5: see like when I see this, like that's got to
Speaker 5: be coping. They're messing with me. That's not real. And
Speaker 5: Bill doesn't send emails. We have over fifty guys here
Speaker 5: working out today, and the one who isn't here does
Speaker 5: all the talking about how important the off season is.
Speaker 5: Figures a lot of your teammates were concerned about you
Speaker 5: and asked why you weren't here. But don't worry. We
Speaker 5: let them all know that you're in Hawaii for a week.
Speaker 5: If you want to get something productive done out there,
Speaker 5: why don't you have him move this meeting to the
Speaker 5: week before all in caps teams start their off season programs.
Speaker 5: Question mark, very respectfully, yours, Bill Belichick, head coach, New
Speaker 5: England Patriots. Okay, so like when you got that, If
Speaker 5: you got that, you know that's not it's from Bill Belichick.
Speaker 5: All right, So we've been through this. You guys got
Speaker 5: the background. It took me days and I did elicit
Speaker 5: a little bit of help from a family member who's
Speaker 5: far smarter than me, and I send him this now
Speaker 5: and again, I will say, my wife from day one
Speaker 5: always told me you're gonna get He's gonna fire you. Like,
Speaker 5: please don't do that, Matt, Please, please don't leave here
Speaker 5: with that device. Don't put that on anyone's you know whatever.
Speaker 5: Don't shock, don't do what you're thinking about doing every
Speaker 5: single day, because that will get you fired. This one
Speaker 5: I did kind of think may I was gonna get fired.
Speaker 8: Coach B.
Speaker 5: I thought that was awesome. That was a way to
Speaker 5: go right. First of all, allow me to apologize for
Speaker 5: not responding earlier to your prior email. It has been
Speaker 5: my experience limited as it may be that a reflexive
Speaker 5: response does not serve anyone well. Thus, I felt it
Speaker 5: necessary to permit time to militate a more measured philosophic response.
Speaker 5: As you are certainly better aware than anyone. We, as
Speaker 5: human beings, are not automatons. Rather, we stand as a
Speaker 5: compilation of free will, rational beings. Given this, it becomes
Speaker 5: critical to impose a measure of collectivism for the benefit
Speaker 5: of the order. I realized that the concept of collectivism
Speaker 5: strikes a measure of aberance in our rugged, individualistic society.
Speaker 5: But it is such a collective good that allows us
Speaker 5: all to benefit, and that does not require a study
Speaker 5: of the encannabulum to realize that both coaches and players
Speaker 5: gained from a measured collective relationship with the financial bully
Speaker 5: pulpit held by the owners. Given this in despite my
Speaker 5: commitment to the off season programs, I felt compelled to
Speaker 5: move forward the collective good of the players through attendants
Speaker 5: of the PA meetings. In a long run, it is
Speaker 5: generally for the benefit of all. My commitment to this
Speaker 5: end is in no way a negative reflection on my
Speaker 5: dedication and commitment to optimizing my personal performance to the
Speaker 5: grace advantage of the team. Your humble, free wild left
Speaker 5: tackle Matt Light. Now that said, I figured I covered
Speaker 5: all basises, right, that's an email basis, and I'm good
Speaker 5: and I kind of got off my chest why I
Speaker 5: felt like I needed to be in attendance right Like,
Speaker 5: it didn't.
Speaker 9: Seem like that big of a deal.
Speaker 5: I had no idea that this would be the response
Speaker 5: to that gibberish. And I gotta tell you, this is
Speaker 5: one of my favorite things in life again. April eleventh,
Speaker 5: twenty seven, twelve forty five pm. It's like a midday email,
Speaker 5: midday weird concluding remarks. You're gonna love this, Matt. I
Speaker 5: need some time to let this one settle, but I'll
Speaker 5: start with this. Why don't you consider dedicating yourself to
Speaker 5: having fewer mistakes and not leading the team in once
Speaker 5: again being the most penalized player on offense. Your numerous
Speaker 5: false start penalties and evidence again at the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 5: and other transgressions like tawning continue to make me think
Speaker 5: that your distractions off the field affect your concentration on
Speaker 5: the field. My advice, if you have an interest in
Speaker 5: improving your performance, would be to minimize your distractions and
Speaker 5: focus on maximizing your physical development and technique in the
Speaker 5: offseason program. That one week really killed you. I continue
Speaker 5: to feel that you were totally out of line commenting
Speaker 5: on the importance of the program when you were not
Speaker 5: in attendance with the rest of the team. Now this
Speaker 5: is what it gets great. Finally, Matt, there is no
Speaker 5: need to use multisyllable words in your email that neither
Speaker 5: you nor I know. I am unimpressed. This will conclude
Speaker 5: my email exchange and I will return to my efforts
Speaker 5: in trying to do a better job in coaching this
Speaker 5: football team. As for the PA meetings, don't worry about
Speaker 5: helping me. As I have said many times, I remind
Speaker 5: myself the best thing we can do for ourselves and
Speaker 5: our families is win all in caps. Try to keep
Speaker 5: that in your mind for you in your quest for
Speaker 5: world peace.
Speaker 19: Sincerely, respectful yours, Bill Belichick, head coach, killing purchase.
Speaker 5: That's it, man, That's all I need in life, and
Speaker 5: we've never once acknowledged it.
Speaker 3: Bill doesn't do human stuff.
Speaker 1: What a quote?
Speaker 3: What a quote? He's doing human stuff now.
Speaker 1: Real damn human Instagram for crying out loud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see he probably he's probably doing this all
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme to prove fucking Matt Lighte wrong.
Speaker 7: To have an email fifteen years from fifteen years ago?
Speaker 7: What do you have an email from three weeks ago?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 14: Well?
Speaker 3: Do what that you?
Speaker 1: What's that? What's that at? Like? It's not a hotmail?
Speaker 1: Is it at Patriots dot com? What is it?
Speaker 3: What is Bill Belichick at?
Speaker 4: Did you have? You have Patriots emails?
Speaker 2: I think so, but I didn't use it. You had
Speaker 2: all that, but you could age it.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: The mail room was crazy too, no way, Oh, like
Speaker 3: letters and stuff, crazy.
Speaker 1: Fans, fans sitting in the wildest things.
Speaker 2: I remember when you're younger, you'd want, you know, you
Speaker 2: get a couple of pieces of mail and you'd.
Speaker 1: Be like yeah, making it, sign.
Speaker 2: A couple of cards, give him back Kevin Fault. When
Speaker 2: we get we were in the off season. I was
Speaker 2: covering from some growing stuff. He would take his mail
Speaker 2: and while he was getting treatment, he would sign his
Speaker 2: ship and give it to, you know, sign.
Speaker 4: Beast.
Speaker 3: I also saw a man by five thousand dollars worth of.
Speaker 2: Lottery tickets scratchers and scratched them while we were both rehabbing,
Speaker 2: something about five thousand dollars for scratches.
Speaker 1: A lot of Kevin Kevin Falk did that.
Speaker 3: No IoT who it was, but I kind of know
Speaker 3: who was. But am I gonna put him a glass?
Speaker 3: Here's our last clip here and one.
Speaker 2: Of the coolest things we've done on this show, go
Speaker 2: into the Hampton's and getting to interview John bon Jovie,
Speaker 2: oh Man over those old giant stories and super.
Speaker 4: Bowl twenty five.
Speaker 3: The wide right.
Speaker 1: Twenty five sounds right, yeah, white right five, you're right, yeah, super.
Speaker 3: Bowl twenty five. Here's the time John.
Speaker 2: Bon Jovie told us about taking a young Bill Belichick
Speaker 2: on tour. One of the relationships I'm so fascinated to
Speaker 2: hear about is with your relationship with a young nerdy
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick who's thirty years old at the time.
Speaker 3: What was Bill like when he's not you know, looked
Speaker 3: at like the Vader.
Speaker 20: Looked and right, It's like I've only ever seen him
Speaker 20: on the other side, even with mister Kraft, who now
Speaker 20: is a dear, dear, dear friend of mine. He says,
Speaker 20: you don't even know the other side of Bill. Like
Speaker 20: I only got to see Bill when he would allow
Speaker 20: me to come to camp, right, allow me to come
Speaker 20: to the games and all the access that I had.
Speaker 20: But after the small talk and the stuff, what I
Speaker 20: saw of his professional side stopped there.
Speaker 15: Yeah, all right, I was allowed to come to a.
Speaker 20: Meeting here and there whatever, Right, But you know what
Speaker 20: I mean, my professional relationship. The reason why I had
Speaker 20: access for so many years, for so long with those
Speaker 20: people was because I.
Speaker 15: Knew when to leave the room. I knew, I always
Speaker 15: knew to leave the room.
Speaker 20: But going back to the fun, young Bill Belichick with
Speaker 20: his first wife, Debbie, who I knew very well back
Speaker 20: in you know, the Giants, and then in Cleveland and
Speaker 20: everywhere else where he went, even to the Jets. He
Speaker 20: came on the road with us. Like few people know
Speaker 20: that he was a closet drummer, and Tico gave him
Speaker 20: some lessons and we bought him a kit and he
Speaker 20: was trying to learn how.
Speaker 15: To play the drum.
Speaker 3: Bill knows how to play the drums well enough.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Did Bill ever make it out to the China Bar.
Speaker 20: I don't know if the China buck but U. But
Speaker 20: he would come on the road with us, like especially
Speaker 20: in Europe where he could come and hang for a
Speaker 20: week at a time, you know. And we were playing
Speaker 20: this massive stadiums and I had written a fan letter
Speaker 20: to Mick Jagger and we were playing the same stadiums
Speaker 20: as the Stones. It was ninety five and I said
Speaker 20: one of the bucket list items is I want to
Speaker 20: open for the Stones. And the response was, well, you're
Speaker 20: playing the same venues and we certainly ain't going to pay.
Speaker 20: You were the Rolling Stones, so I don't want any money.
Speaker 20: I'm asking for one thing. I want to photograph with
Speaker 20: the Stones and bonjo Vi together and my son Jesse.
Speaker 20: In fact, Jesse was three months old at the time.
Speaker 20: And the Stones went yeah, cool, So we went. I
Speaker 20: took Bill, there are the Stones head of security. Oh
Speaker 20: my god, I gotta remember his name.
Speaker 15: I can picture. This is a sin.
Speaker 20: Was a great college football player who could have been
Speaker 20: like a Hall of Famer. And Bill saw him and
Speaker 20: immediately went over to him and said, great to see you.
Speaker 20: Blah blah blah because he played with Jack Ham and
Speaker 20: some of the great Pittsburgh Steelers, and Belchi could now
Speaker 20: feel at home. Yeah, and he was with us, and
Speaker 20: he was backstage at the Rolling Stones. And so then
Speaker 20: we went with him, you know, we took him to Paris,
Speaker 20: and we took him to Italy, and we took him,
Speaker 20: you know, all around with us, and he was just
Speaker 20: on the plane. But getting to see him now in
Speaker 20: our environment, and that was all cool. For those who
Speaker 20: don't believe those stories of that warm, wonderful side that
Speaker 20: I know of him is true.
Speaker 15: It is true. It's all true.
Speaker 20: Another beautiful anecdotal story is ninety six. He was the
Speaker 20: decoordinator at the Pats. Pats are playing Green Bay in
Speaker 20: New Orleans on the Saturday afternoon, walked through stadium was empty.
Speaker 20: I got to go to walk through. I might walk
Speaker 20: through and mister Kraft comes over and he says, tell
Speaker 20: me more about your friend Bill. Tell me more about Bill,
Speaker 20: and I start telling that his family life is this
Speaker 20: I don't know if it resonated or not come two thousand,
Speaker 20: but it may have. Okay, I'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 20: We walked back to the hotel. It wasn't as big
Speaker 20: a hoopla in ninety six as it became by two
Speaker 20: thousand and then, you know, all the years of the Pats.
Speaker 15: We could walk back to the hotel.
Speaker 20: So we stopped at a bar on Saturday afternoon before
Speaker 20: the fucking Super Bowl. We had a couple of those
Speaker 20: big sugary hurricane drinks.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 20: Yeah, there was a picture on his desk until he
Speaker 20: left the office of US drunk on this curb in
Speaker 20: New Orleans the day before the Green Bay Pats Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Wow. Who says he's not that fun?
Speaker 15: He was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Who says he's not sounded like fun to me. So
Speaker 2: it really wasn't. It wasn't Bill or Tom. It was
Speaker 2: John bon Jovi. The secret sauce not at all behind No, No,
Speaker 2: the Patriots.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 20: The only thing that I wanted just the world to
Speaker 20: know is that Belichick worked harder than anyone, and he
Speaker 20: knows how to play as well as anyone.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's probably the bottom line.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's definitely he's one of the most I
Speaker 2: always tell explain to people that he's not usually.
Speaker 3: Football coaches or old football players.
Speaker 2: He's like a type of person that should be a
Speaker 2: military war general, yeah right, or some kind of leader
Speaker 2: in a like a way bigger society type thing that
Speaker 2: became a football coach.
Speaker 15: I understand that you're right.
Speaker 20: He should have led armies or could have led army
Speaker 20: he could have, yeah, or navies, as I think he
Speaker 20: loves a navy.
Speaker 3: He's a big navy.
Speaker 15: I know that.
Speaker 14: I know that.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think that that's a very good point.
Speaker 3: Drummer, Bill who Belichick, I love it.
