Speaker 1: It is the twenty third anniversary of nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: and celebrities are roaming the Canter Fitzgerald trading floor today
Speaker 1: calling clients in an effort to raise money for Canter
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald as well as their own charities. Bloomberg's Shaneli Bassek
Speaker 1: is there and she joins us live now with one
Speaker 1: of those celebrities, an NFL star, Chanali.
Speaker 2: Yes, you may remember Rob Gronkowski, of course, of NFL
Speaker 2: fame here formerly of the Patriots, now here for charity
Speaker 2: day at Canter Fitzgerald.
Speaker 3: What brings you here?
Speaker 4: Well, this is actually my third year coming here with
Speaker 4: Canna Fitzgerald, and it's my third year in a row
Speaker 4: coming with.
Speaker 3: My girlfriend Camille as well.
Speaker 4: And when I first heard about it, you know, first
Speaker 4: got asked to Calm, I thought it was a no brain.
Speaker 4: I mean, Cana Fitzgerald just does such a great job
Speaker 4: remembering those that were falling, you know, that were that
Speaker 4: are deceased from the ninety eleven event in two thousand
Speaker 4: and three that occurred. So it's just an amazing tradition
Speaker 4: what Canter Fitzgerald is doing just to remember.
Speaker 3: Everyone you know that has passed away and.
Speaker 4: Just bringing awareness to that situation and just raising money
Speaker 4: for great causes out there as well. And today we're
Speaker 4: actually raising money for my foundation as well to the
Speaker 4: Grant Nation Youth Foundation, which.
Speaker 3: Is really cool.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day too, what's been interesting
Speaker 2: is watching you and many other celebrities here replacing trades.
Speaker 2: What are you thinking about in terms of your career
Speaker 2: now after football? You seem to be quite the business man.
Speaker 4: Yes, I am quite the business man, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: I'm doing a lot of things out there.
Speaker 4: My favorite opportunity is a new salad joint new sale
Speaker 4: adventure that I that I've invested into. I'm a co founder,
Speaker 4: and it's actually just started in the Florida area in
Speaker 4: the Tampa you know geography. We got three stores now
Speaker 4: we're going to be just expanding rapidly. But also here,
Speaker 4: I want to bring the stock market back I heard
Speaker 4: is down right now with the election thing and everything
Speaker 4: that's going on. So I'm here at Canna Fitzgerald to
Speaker 4: do some trades. I want to do the biggest trades
Speaker 4: of the day and bring that stock market so it's
Speaker 4: just booming back, you know, back up to the sky.
Speaker 2: Well, well absolutely, let you know, where the day today.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm also interested in other forms of business
Speaker 2: and sports together. We have seen recently the NFL approve
Speaker 2: private equity interest in teams. Really curious about where you
Speaker 2: think that's gonna take things moving forward.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I didn't know about that.
Speaker 4: You know, that's the first time I was aware of
Speaker 4: that situation. I really don't know how that works, the
Speaker 4: private equity, you know, with teams in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm.
Speaker 4: Out at that stage of being an owner of a
Speaker 4: team or everyone participating of being an ownership of a team.
Speaker 3: Yes, I would love to own a team.
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like the NFL only goes up
Speaker 4: and up and up, and Tom Brady is actually on
Speaker 4: the verge of owning a team, and what an excellent
Speaker 4: gig to get into.
Speaker 3: That would be amazing.
Speaker 4: If he does, because I think he can maybe break
Speaker 4: the barrier of players getting in to ownership. So hoping
Speaker 4: that all falls through and he deserves it as well
Speaker 4: everything that he has done for the game. But with
Speaker 4: the private aquiy stuff that we're talking about, I don't
Speaker 4: not too familiar with it, so I really can't comment
Speaker 4: too much.
Speaker 2: You know, your former team you mentioned Tom Brady here
Speaker 2: starting his career as an announcer for Fox.
Speaker 3: How do you create his performance? Yes, he did really well.
Speaker 4: I feel like he was a rookie out there, a
Speaker 4: highly anticipated rookie. I mean there was a lot of hype.
Speaker 4: I think there's a little bit more hype than there
Speaker 4: should have been. I mean I kind of put him
Speaker 4: on a pedestal that he had to perform, like a
Speaker 4: shild of rocket ship. But I think he did an
Speaker 4: excellent job. And I feel like he's just only going
Speaker 4: to improve. I know him personally, he loves to improve.
Speaker 4: He likes to work on anything. Any chance he has to,
Speaker 4: you know, any opportunity he has to get better, he's
Speaker 4: gonna do. And he's just going to improve weekend and
Speaker 4: week out.
Speaker 3: And I give him. I give him a passing grade.
Speaker 4: You know, he got the win in his first job,
Speaker 4: in his first you know, opportunity of being an analyst.
Speaker 2: What about you, what is your future media career looking like?
Speaker 2: You see that deal that Amazon struck with the Kelsey
Speaker 2: Brothers one hundred million dollar podcast deal. Do you want
Speaker 2: something like that?
Speaker 3: Maybe?
Speaker 4: You know, I just want to do some stuff that
Speaker 4: I love to do. Like I said, I got in
Speaker 4: the business, co founding the Salid Place. Actually, I'm a
Speaker 4: co co founder of my brother's company, to Ice Shaker.
Speaker 3: And the only thing, the only reason why I have
Speaker 3: this on me because.
Speaker 4: I thought it looked cool with my shoes and I
Speaker 4: put my protein shake in here this morning because I
Speaker 4: was on the go and spilled a little bit of
Speaker 4: it right here. But that's what happens. But love just
Speaker 4: getting into the business world. I mean, I'm actually starting
Speaker 4: a podcast with Julian Edelman as well, and we're actually
Speaker 4: filming our first two episodes this Friday coming up. We're
Speaker 4: gonna film the first two and then we're gonna release
Speaker 4: it once every week on Thursday nights throughout the football season, so.
Speaker 3: That would be fun.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm enjoying what I'm doing, you know, That's
Speaker 4: what it's most important. I Mean, I'm set for life
Speaker 4: for my football career, and it's really about enjoying and
Speaker 4: doing what I love to do.
Speaker 3: And hanging out with Julian and that crew is fun.
Speaker 4: Hanging out with the Fox guys when I do the
Speaker 4: Fox gig of the pregame show that they're great guys
Speaker 4: to hang out with, and just all the business ventures
Speaker 4: I'm in as well. They're with my friends and family
Speaker 4: and love to do all that too, So I'm happy
Speaker 4: where I'm out.
Speaker 2: Just twenty seconds too early to ask you who's going
Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl this year?
Speaker 4: Oh man, I mean I think the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 4: are going to be the team.
Speaker 3: I mean, you got to knock them off.
Speaker 4: I mean I had Baltimore maybe being it, but they
Speaker 4: just showed it, showed it once again that they can't
Speaker 4: eat the Chiefs, that they can't you know, amp up
Speaker 4: their game when needed, they can't win the big game.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to go with the Chiefs again, I
Speaker 3: mean going for the three P. I mean, hey, Rob, thank.
Speaker 2: You so much for your time. Of course, that is
Speaker 2: Rob Gronkowski, Scarlett back to you, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Shanali Dasik, thank you so much. Rob Gronkowski making
Speaker 1: the call that he is looking for the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs to be three P Super Bowl champions.
