Yeah he really, he's really got a.

Yeah, like it was like I mean, genuinely good energy.

It's tough to be in that situation. Absolutely.

Now let's let's get into why we're here. We're gonna go over the two thousand and seven week seventeen Patriots versus Giants game. This is when they went sixteen and oh, this is when all the pressure was on the Patriots to be the team that can they go undefeated.

Why did you pick this game?

Because there was so much, so much hope in the air, you know, it was so much hope in the airs. As a person from Boston, I just remember the energy around the team and like, we're gonna and then I also thought about the deflation of not winning the Super Bowl.

That was two years was three or four years later.

But yeah, you know, but it was so much hope. It was so much hope. Yeah, it was just a buzzing ass time.

Now I wasn't part of this team, but I remember watching this and as a guy, I used to love Tom Brady because Tom was always the underdog. It was always supposed to be Paint Manning's league. We were both from the Bay Area. He was never supposed to be the guy. So I always could relate to him. So I always was like rooting for the Patriots low key when they were in these runs. I was feeling anxiety, yeah, every week because every team seemed to be playing them

Get this un like shakeable belief in Tom Brady at that time, there was nothing Tom Brady couldn't do. It was like, we have Tom Brady, We're gonna win everything. We have tom Brady, nothing to think about everything this point of his career had three super Bowl or three Super.

Bowls, he had Youselle already. Yeah, so he was on cloud.

He's the motherfucker man.

You almost had three Supermodels.

Joke because I had a joke that was designed over that.

Yeah, he's the man at that time, and like we're like at that time, the city is like we're up, buzzing, We're up, We're we're we're full of ego. We're like, who can take us down?

There's nothing, man, We'll jump into it.

Let's let's start this off with we Boachs did the roast, the Tom Brady roast?

What did you think of it?

It was wild it was wild. It was wild from the stage perspective, like a lot was a lot was going on, a lot of energy. I loved watching For me, it was a lot of complete completing the story, you know, like hearing Drew's perspective, you know what I mean, him making fun of Tom like you used to come to that yellow truck. It's like, oh shit, okay, So that

And is there gonna be a lot be a lawsuit?

I think someone, dude, That's what I said. I was Me and Drew were sitting on the couch. I was like, that lady got hit and she's pretty pissed off. She was like pissed and I was like, oh, this isn't good.

So then there was just someone hit yeah. Yeah, you could actually see someone be all pissed by the way this is Kyler and Jack thanks introduced It's all good.

Yeah, So it was a lot going on. It was. It was big for me.

I thought it was such a cool perspective.

To a c professionals work in contrast to guys that the athletes were. We were all fucking nervous. You know, we were all terrified. You know, you're in the forum, there's fifteen thousand people, it's a live show on Netflix. We don't do this shit. You guys are used to this stuff. And to see how you guys were able to I was reading teleprompters. I was watching the teleprompter

And you landed all your plane. I was impressed by you. I was like, he's like he's landing these planes. Like your timing was good.

I was trying the clutch gene clutch gene, no question, So I was, I was, I was.

I was pretty nervous for this thing when they asked me to do it, you know, I mean just for what I just explained, you know, this is this is what we do. And then Jeff he was really cool with me and like you know, whole like mentor type role. When we were doing our meetings and meeting with our joke makers and you know, our team and their team, and you know, Jeff invited me to go to the store. So I went and did the store on Thursday, the

Was like, oh, this way easier. Not easier, but right there.

You could yeah, they ain't feel it.

And also we had the people in front where I could you could look at the people you knew.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you had like some safety nets safety.

Nets, Yeah absolutely, but I had a blast. Now take us through your lead up of the roast?

How they who who? When you got invited? Uh, how did you prepare? How did you write your jokes? How'd you put together your fit?

I was last, so I got I got asked the last. So I only had like five days or something like that. Yeah, I only had like five days or something like that, five or six days. It was like a week or a week and a half.

Yeah.

And so once we were I was like, yeah, let's do it. I started just working on the jokes and work on the jokes. Well, I just started figuring out who I wanted to talk about. That was the first thing.

So you lineup? Yeah, and then what you do you research? Lineup? Or do you go off of like your own knowledge of life knowledge?

I'm just like they were like once when I saw Drew was on it, I was like for sure Drew was like for sure Drew. And then got to do Tom and I knew the time. They were like, yo, it's live and it's a lot of people, so it's going to only be like four to six minutes, like and six is like forcing it. So I was like, well, I'm not gonna go comic to comic to comic like old school world style. If I just that much time, I'd rather just like focus it. So I was like,

Seller. Yeah, of the seller good vibes, it is good.

You know Sam Morel, Yes, you know me and Sammy start with He was on this podcast with us for for our first season.

Oh really, I love Sam.

I love shout out Sam.

We love him exports.

Yeah, Sam was in our writing process and oh yeah yeah we had by Sam.

Oh that's awesome. No, Sam, we go sometimes we go to watch basketball together.

Yeah. Yeah, he was calling Bronson being Bronson three years ago.

Yeah, Brunson is the man right now.

He's I think he deserves MVP. He's electric.

He should get MVP.

Is he MVY? I didn't know. I didn't watch the whole regular season. He's got MVP numbers.

He's got m VP numbers.

He's got forty the last three. Yes, he's playing like Jordan.

Yeah, it's in samee. For size, it's not I know, for size. And also I just like he's having the most impact on a team in the league right now. It's like you could say joking, but he's not changed the teams the team like Brunton is changing the team.

And playing playing forty eight minutes a night he's got him to run out, I was gonna says, I hope that's a Celtics fan.

I hope not.

I hope not for his sake as a Celtics fans, but for his sake. I actually just don't even want to see that.

I don't either.

I don't want to be scared.

I don't even want to see that. I live in New York. If we lose to the Knicks, I gotta move, you know what I mean?

I can't. It's I can't be in New York. How is it being a Boston fan in New York?

Tough? Tough because they love to see us lose, you know what I mean? Like the way they celebrate when we don't win is like it's annoying, you know what I mean? And like Michael Chase one of my closest friends, and like every time we've gone to a Knicks game together, I think the Celtics have lost and he's put me through absolute hell.

Sam, do you wear do you rep the Celtics and Red Sox and Pats on the street? You wear the gear? Okay, I'm too scared. Wherever I go to New York, I leave it at all you know.

What, it's crazy, we're worse than them, you know what I mean, Like we like they don't care because New York is.

Like a big treaty, that's true, and like you know what I mean, they yeah, don't.

We're like you come to Boston and we go fucking crazy, like we are worse than they are. They're they're pretty chill because.

They've been irrelevant for about a decade in all of these sports they have, they haven't made they haven't won a championship in the first time in like a ten year period.

But they don't. It's something so weird about New York. Like even right now with the Knicks. I'm like, if the Knicks stop right here, the city of New York would be electric.

It already is.

Yeah, like they'd be like that's great. Like they don't even need the thing, you know what i mean. Like, you know, Bostonians like we need the thing, the parade, we need the and if you don't give us that, it's like fuck you, we hate you, you stink. We don't care how well you do. Bring bring home the ship. It's north yeah, and we don't give a fuck. But New York they're like it was a good one.

Yeah, but they're gonna start it.

This is a team that will develop them into having more higher expectations.

Yeah, they'll become cold. Yeah.

I mean I think if they win in this year, they're they're gonna go. If they make a past Boston and they go, they're gonna go, yeah, and they're gonna be turned. Then I think they will be more like about their ship. But I don't think they'll ever be like Boston that It's just like in the DNA of the city.

Yeah, and it's a it's a different city. There's more competition than just sport. In New York, you're in the mecca the fashion.

They have everything going on. Yeah that all we have is.

Sports, sports and schools.

Yeah, and alcohol.

Who are your top five roasters of the night?

Yeah, Nikki Tony, I enjoy grunk.

You.

Yeah, Drew, I like that. You had a good opening. Yeah, it was good. It was good to open with him. Yeah, No, Andrew, Sorry, Drew, I was trying to get you.

Well, that's honorable mention though, what a really good say he did. He did, Drew, But I don't hate you. I saw an interviewer he said I was really mean, and I heard his feelings. I felt really bad because he's a nice guy.

We all signed up for it. I mean I pretty much sucked Tom's dick after the rose, according to the jokes and every day before. I mean, that's why I live in this house. Are there any jokes that you had to cut?

No, I cut stuff like for time. Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna do a joke to Kim Kardashian, like I was gonna, you know, do an audible. But I changed my mind, which I'm kind of glad I did, because I felt after that, Yeah, after all that other ship, I was like, Oh, that would have just been kind of like beating up on her, you know. So I kind of was glad that I didn't do it. But they didn't like tell me you can't use this or you can't use that or anything like that.

No, when did you find out that Kim was going to be there, because it was kind of a surprise to the audience when they listed her in the credit.

I don't know when I walked into rehearsal and saw her.

Yeah, that's that's what I saw that on Saturday.

When I found out. Yeah, when I walked in the road.

I looked around. I was like, Oh, he's gonna be here. He's gonna be here. You cut any jokes I could have, I could have let's go on?

Oh yeah it was.

It was something like, you know, we all know what Tom's favorite term is, let's go I mean, you got a patent. He had a podcast named after it. It's also what his wife said when she left.

With the kids.

Ooh see you're good. Look at you know how to do this.

Damn get in the car right now, out of that ship we practiced.

I wanted to incorporate Gronk in a joke. It was a It was a Gronk joke along paired with a Belichick joke. It was like, you know, everyone gives Gronk a rap for being a dummy, a dumb dumb, but he's actually a savant with numbers. Watch Gronk. What's sixty nine minus thirty seven thirty two? That's right, Gronk, the same number of teams that'd rather lose and have a conversation with Coach Belichick. That's a combo, come on, two piece combo.

Also, the do you remember the other plastic surgeon joke? The football players take hits to the head.

Oh yeah, yeah, football players usually takes It's a brutal game. Football players take a lot of shots to the head. Tom takes shots to the forehead, the crows feet, the lips.

Ah, that's that's good.

You know, you didn't set the record in college, but you did set the record in college in who's laughing now?

Tom?

Not you because your face don't move and you So I stole the back part of that joke and put it on a different one.

That's good.

These guys, we were working our nuts.

Yeah in the sea, that's what's up.

I love just two stand ups here kicking.

In that category. Don't put me in that category. She writes the jokes. I'm in on the right of the joke.

Ye have, probably my sixty eight Mustang. I like old cars.

I want to I want a Nissan Essex, like the old one where like in ninety two. Yeah, with the INXX and the break light and like the little.

They're not expensive. He bought all the parts with the factory clothes, and he will build you, build you.

A new I've seen that. Yeah, I've seen that.

Wow.

I don't know color, maybe red and black, right, But I want the two front doors like Suicide. I want the back doors to Lambeau and when you hit it, it goes like it makes the noise and all the doors open.

That's gonna be so expensive, just because it won't be expensive for the car, but putting in all that electronic.

Yeah, but that'd be fire. It would be hell right, and then make the noise and then the doors all do it together. And then I get in and I just hit a button.

That's what like Tesla's do. Now Tesla's.

My daughter loves the Tesla because it does the dance thing and the fucking beeps and ship you can doors open. But what was life like for you back in two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, this was pre this were you still in the music industry.

Being two thousand and seven in the office job. I am, I'm in Atlanta. I'm in Atlanta. I went to go to school, but I'm not going to school. I'm just like drinking and hangout.

So Atlanta is black Boston, Yeah, because you said, yeah.

So Land, I'm partying, you know what I mean, zebe parties. I'm teetering the line. I think I'm putting Dick down, but I'm not done with Dick. But I'm like, I don't think this is my game, you know what I mean, And I think I need to go into something else. So I'm kind of over.

There, Like how is it because you're not attracted to the D or is it because what the D brings?

You know?

You know, I wasn't. I just really wasn't into it. Like I had a boyfriend for a long time and we met young, you know, so I thought that I like Peters, and then we got trauma bonded, like my mom died and he was my best friend and my boyfriend, so there was a trauma bond there. So I did love him, you know what I mean. But once we broke up, and I just got in the world and

In that way.

I'm just not into dudes that way. Like I see it physically, I get it, like VIC doesn't scare me, but it just never did the thing. And I think as a I know, like there's some gold star lesbians who like, never been with a dude, and I kind of looked down on them a little bit. I'm like, bitch, you don't even you don't really like I know for sure, you not sure you might get tapped and be like, I'm totally into this.

I did it.

I did it for real, and it's just not my.

Bag, not yourself, yourself. In the sports world, in two thousand and seven college football National Champs LSU, this is an LSU was this uh who was the head coach? Was this step.

I think this was what's his name? Less miss Miles? Yeah, yeah, this was yeah, because Saban was before.

This Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow were making jokes on this in this spot.

Super Bowl Champions or the New York Jacks one right, no, this is this is the first one.

That's the first time, but maybe yeah.

And then the other one was eleven.

Oh my god, I was in Atlanta. I go, I go to this party. First of all, I don't think people get what it is to be a black Patriots fan, which once you are outside of break that down for like, everybody looks at you like a coup. They're literally like, what what are you up? Uncle Tom? How could you love this like white ass team that represents everything like white and oppressive that is America. They're fucking even called the fucking Patriots. They're from white ass Boston. Like what

Yeah, that was too.

I called one of my good friends that was home and I was like, what the fuck, like I'm talking to I'm like, and I'm in this house with Giant fans and she said, why would you even go in there? She said, why did you go in there? I was like, I had nowhere else to go. There was there was nowhere to go that was Patriot friendly. You know what I mean?

The amount of like chirp texts from non Giants fans. I remember getting out.

Of that like, oh still happy when people were like so like.

Ing to chirp, come on, so happy? I hate those kind of fans.

This same year, the Celtics when they're seventeen champions.

And they went over the Lakers. Yes, I remember, sure. I was an ESPN zone in Atlanta. We were, we were watching on the big screen. Remember they used to have that really giant screen the ship. I'm so mad they're not around, I know, at the giant screen all Lakers fans. Of course, again, no one likes anything Boston.

No one.

No one likes anything Boston.

But you usually find a transplant in a certain area.

Yeah, but not black peopeople because they really associate everything Boston with white whiteness.

You know what I mean, I do get it.

Celtics, Larry Bird, So no one, everyone is totally Lakers, right, We're in Atlanta, we win. I jump up standing in front of the giant screen and I'm like, fuck you, fuck you, screaming, screaming, And I needed that.

I needed that there is possible I needed. That was a big That was a big year. Socks win the World Series.

Yeah, but you guys are you guys are pretty much in the sync of winning with the Socks. Now, what's your hierarchy of Boston sports, basketball, Celtics.

Pats, baseball, Socks, hockey, hockey.

I I ascend it descends into whiteness. It's like.

Very much, so, very much so. So where does the revolution stand? Honorable mention? Like, Drew, were you in Atlanta for the twenty to three Super Bowl? I was?

And I have a story for that. Yes I was. No, I wasn't in Atlanta, was in La. I was in La And I have a wild story. That was a wild that was because that was also so at this time, I'm like brillly in comedy. You know, I moved to La to do comedy and I'm feeling good. You know, shit is kind of moving. I'm feeling good. And I used I would do these Super Bowl parties, like I mean football every Sunday. It was at my house, all little homies do comedy together. They would all come over

Right, what about like sauce? We have dip sauce.

We got some ranch blue cheese?

Like, are you blue cheese?

I it depends on what I'm on that day. Allow, I like blue cheese. I'm traditional, but sometimes but living pepp I usually go. So these are important questions.

I love chicken wings.

So the super Bowl is abouts happened? Moms like, yo, are you doing a party?

I had that experience with You're traumatized, a little traumat.

I'm traumatized, so I go, No, I don't want to watch the game with people who aren't Patriots fans. I know you guys aren't Patriots fans. I'm not having a fucking party.

He breaks me. I do it.

Now everybody's in my house and we are getting beat bad, bad bad, and it's like, for a Bostonian, you feel like the curse is coming back. Literally, I'm like, oh shit, the curse is coming back because this is unraveling in a way that is fucking insane. Like we're playing in a way that doesn't make sense to me, Like plays are happening and it's fucking Atlanta and I'm like, what the fuck is that? So now I'm equating this to my career, right, I'm like, oh, everything's about the crumble

Right.

I am seething. I want to fucking cry. I'm losing hope. I'm like, it can't happen. My ex wife goes we have tom She's like, just believe, and I'm like, I don't know, man, I don't know. I'm really like watching in the Comeback starting and now I'm like, I'm just quiet. I'm not saying anything. I'm just like hands in prayer, just don't want to jinx it, don't want to jinx it. But I'm like, okay, complete a pass, like let's go, let's go, let's go.

Let's go.

They're getting quieter, the house is getting quieter.

I don't.

I'm just like, yo, yep, I never rucked.

We win, But did you give body movement where you get in the body. I'm like, they knew you were about it. You were t kelly mm hmmm.

And now and now I'm watching Tom Tom, so you know, you know when you see Brady, God Brady, I'm like, my nigga's in it. Let's go.

You know what I'm saying, Like he's about to.

Do these niggas.

So I'm like, mm hmmmm hmmm, hmm.

We win.

I jump up. I screamed, I'm gonna get everything I fucking want this year. This is my fucking year. And then I looked at my friend Jack, I said, now put on your fucking jersey and get the fuck out of my house.

Bitch. I threw it out my fucking house.

And it was the best day of my fucking life. And that year I got JFL I got. That was my mother fucking year. I got everything I wanted.

It's because of Tom Brady. Gotta believe. I gotta believe. When did you know that we had it? That first touchdown in the third James White. I believe it was Danny.

I was like, we're good, Yeah, we're good. We're about to snatch the heart of these boys.

For me, I was still doing math.

Yeah.

I was like, all right, that's cute. Yeah we're still down twenty one points, yeah or eighteen or whatever.

I can't do math.

I was a Tommy gonna lose. Nah.

It wasn't until the defense. I saw that when they started pissing down their leg.

Yeah.

The offense, Atlanta's offense, and then Trey Flowers had a big sack. They had a holding and Dante fucking had the strip sacked and I'm sitting there like, oh, this ship's about to happen.

Yeah.

It was James White and the third Yeah.

When when we when we got that, I was like, now it's just pick apart time, because I'm like, Okay, he's figured it out. Yeah, he's figured it out, and now he's just gonna methodically pick them apart. And you talk can do. That's just so fast whence he can move the ball once he figures out how to move it.

Yeah, take up, dink and dunk death by a thousand cuts.

That's what you gonna eat, you up So how did that catch you had? Though? Crazy?

Yeah, route, it was crazy Jackie breaking down for the New York Giants. You missed the years though, Yeah.

But I heard a lot about Vinetaria because the first time I met Matt Castle. We'll keep this quick, he did a drawing, as you remember, Vinnie Testaverdi. It's like, yeah, why Matt Castle, We're throwing at a Manhattan beach fucking field. And he gets a piece of paper. He takes it from one of the coaches of working with and he has two three drawings, the three guys and you have one guy at the baby dick that's Castle. Then he had a regular sized dick was Tom. Then he drew

First time ever met Castle, he started talking about it.

I feel like he did it because he was like, I don't know how to say this and not feel gay. But then he did the gayer thing because.

He do mean about it. Gotta show it, I miss Finnie.

Oh my god, let's run through these giants real quick to set the stage. This is the ten and six Giants year, coming off a classic one of those eight and eight Giant seasons before this fourth year of the Tom Coughlin era. He was on the hot seat this year, kind of like he was every year. It seemed like every year. Every year they still go in the playoffs and do Giants in the playoffs thing. This was the

It's pretty cool just because we're such a domestic sport.

They really enjoy it. They like it. They go crazy.

It's pretty big. I mean, the ship sold out. It's the crazy thing is they like the biggest cheers you'll get is during like a field goal or kickoff, like anytime get but I think it's catching waves and.

Then we go. We gotta give a little love to some of these giants. Dudes. This was Eli Plexico, Moni tumor, Plexico Plexico. We all remember plaques. David Tyree Antonio appears now the coach of the Raiders. Oc Umanor was the loan pro bowler this year. Moni Tumor, Moni Tumor. The Damn Mannings, the Damn Mannings and then the record breaking New England Patriots. They were coming off a twelve and

Us because on us bro hating as ship looking for.

Something, always looking for something.

By hate us because they know everybody up there looking everyone. You know, everybody's up there looking. Oh yeah, boy, Eric is a whole keep it g my nigga. You know what I'm saying.

Yeah, but what is man Genie thinking?

I know, yeah, like that was Manganie was like Bill was his daddy hot blocking literally.

Literally, So that's some mob ship.

It hasn't been a coach since Black blackballing. And then Billy Oh was brought on to the staff as an offensive assistant.

Billy I love Billy Oh over here.

Baby. Uh most points in a season by an offense five hundred and eighty nine points and the defense was a top ten defense. To uh, give some love to these guys. I mean, these are these are pillars of the Patriots founder Rip Jun Guy, Kevin Falk, Lawrence Morony, Randy.

Seymour, Hall of Famer, Troy will Fork, oh, Big Ben Watson, Warren Yo Man.

Right when I was a rookie, Will.

Fork, Samuel will Fork had like I rolled up to the players lot. I'm in like a Lincoln seven round drift picking.

So that was like a highlight of your day.

When you're a young player that's barely gonna make the team, you just get to see all the cool guy cars. Yeah, you see, you know the Mercedes, and at that time the LS four sixty Alexis was like hot.

Everyone had the Alexus.

Randy had one, Tom had one, Mister Kraft had one. Will Fork rolls up in a goddamn pit like a semi truck. He had a semi truck with no no trading. That's what he used to.

Drive half of often his prime.

It was like the most shooting fucking car for him. It out he'd being overalls with those shirty'd be thirty degrees. He was so cool.

You know, he's nice on the smoker too.

Oh he's he can cook his balls off. So I've heard ribs. He makes unbelievable ribs.

We gotta go down and visit him in Texas. I assume he's Texas, right, I think I don't know where you Either way, we got to get big vins on here.

We got to that'd be so sick. Who's your Patriots? Mount Rushmore, Harrison nice? Rodney, Yeah, I like him.

I like that.

He was mean.

That's why I liked Rodney because I remember when he was like, I'll take the fun.

Did you talk to him at the rest?

Yeah, I mean he's like, I'll take the fine. I'm off there head hutting. Motherfuckers need that kind of guy, he said, he put money aside of you for.

So badass. He was legendary. He was legendary practice.

Yeah, okay, uh Tom of course and a terry man clutch r terry because there's nothing like that the vinitary era. There was something about knowing that if we got to fifty, like that's how we used to play a funk out of motherfuckers, like we don't even We'll get to the fifty and kick it on your bitch ass. We're good, We're good.

He could any condition, full rain, sleek.

Snow, and my man is getting it done, getting it. You're getting beat by a kicker, which is disrespectful, disrespect you like that. So I got the larium and then beginners.

Will he was there the other night too, Right, was it cool to see all those guys in one room and up, God, I can't even.

Imagine every like every pick I was sending the immediately to my brother.

Yeah, Willie Mack was a man WILLI had. There's a locker in the locker room that's known as Willy's locker still to this day. That's where they put always the bus of the like if you're the big, like the top buck of the defense guy that is the leader.

They sit in Willie's locker.

And I would say welcome because he was the first.

There's only four on the mount rushmore, so that's it's an honorable mention.

Okay, all right, DELI, I'm like fuck that. I'm saying good.

He was the you before you.

He was the first white woy I fell in.

Love with like that, But Troy Brown was before him. I like Troy Brown, love Troy. It's hard to pick Dudlet's just I can't you already got four? We're good.

It's a good problem to have. But that means we got a lot of great guys. Yeah, should we run through this lead up and hit the game real quick game the lead up, the biggest story, of course, was going sixteen and oh we entered fifteen and oh they entered ten and five. Both teams have made the playoffs. So the other big story was is there even any point playing anybody? But we got perfection online. He got

We are fucking sick.

Wait helps here, No on, we gotta see you. Tom ready go for perfection. Yeah, it's fucking true. NBC and CBS.

It was a six hour pregame show like they were building this thing up like you had thought it was a super Bowl. And of course we had to buy in the home field advantage and the other record besides sixteen and zero, Tom to break most touchdown passes in the season, Randy to break the most receiving touchdowns in a season. Each one needed two. So that was the bit. That was the other big one coming into it. And we get into this game is a shootout, thirty eight

I hate, like man go off, I don't because okay, like like on paper, he's the most in depth of the family, right right like not like no, I'm not saying stat. Wife's just saying when you how they like how they made it look. It's like this Peyton, this great daddy, he's like, bring on, you know what I'm saying. But he's not he's not bad at football. But that's what I'm saying. He's not bad at football. But just like the presentation, like we dealing with you know this guy,

If you're like a mouth breather with a punchable face and you're beating, I'm like, bro, he got the.

Most squishy face, need a squishy face one and it kills me doing it to us, like getting beat by Lenny from Mice and Men and ship Git sucked.

Oh my god, fucking Eli.

But the Pats thankfully respond in this one, get up ten to seven, Moss gets a TV in the second.

They were down twelve points.

Yes, and then we I mean, then the Giants respond housing a kickoff seventy four yards. Then Steve O bangs in a couple of field goals. We get up sixteen fourteen. They take the lead. Kevin Boss That dude bald out this game. Random, random old tight end reference here twenty one to sixteen. Plasico scores a TV early in the third. We're down twelve points. Are in the third quarter, like, oh fuck, like we're going fifteen to one in this thing.

That was it.

Once we had broken the record. Like the monkey was off our back, giants were dying. We had it. LS Hobbs picks off Eli. We punching another TD. They cut it thirty eight thirty five. Onside kick at the end, Vrabel on the hansteam love that recovers it. We win thirty eight thirty five. Get out of there with perfection. Man, you know where you were and you watch this game, do you have Do you remember that was this a big game for you?

It was a big game. I was in Atlanta and I was at my brothers. I went to my brothers so we could watch it together. I think, if I remember correctly, I was watching at my brother's house. But it was a big game. It was a big game. It was a huge game because it was, like I said, it was set in a tone for what we knew was a Super Bowl win that turned out to not be, which is why now I do not trust any time Boston anything goes undefeated the season. I'm with you, it's bad luck.

President's Cup, it's bad luck.

It's almost like, get the loss out of the way. When it just went bad luck, I was.

I had a bad feeling. I'm with you because I'm like, we just that just doesn't work out.

For us, Like it's bound in at some point. I don't want to matters.

And then when Tatum came in with anything, when he had that, I said, we're gonna lose every time he Tatum pull an antic That's why I'm like, if he pulled one of these, I love I love you, takes, I love I love you. We met, we had a conversation. But I'm telling you right now, if you pull one of these little antics in this run, because last time when he texts Kobe fucked us, he came in with the goddamn possible shirt fucked us. Just play, bro, don't do nothing.

We know you love.

I love you, but don't don't do it if he pulls If he pulls a move, you know where we're at.

Amen. We had the Lario O'Brian trophy in here the other day, the NBA trophy. I didn't want to touch it. I was so like it might be bad luck for JT if I touched it. You know, I was all over them, bro, we gotta win it this year. Come on, guys, how crazy was that connection TV and Moss?

That had to be fun As a fan that I was a sports fan, I was like, man, these dudes are just lighting it up.

I'm telling you. First of all, just Rainy Mons come to Boston, like anytime as a black person for wanting any time like really goa comes We're excited. Yeah, because it's like they don't bring nobody black to us.

They don't let us have that.

And if they do, it's like it is not like one of them.

You know what I'm saying.

It's like they're giving us like this is prima yo yo. So we just Brandy wants gonna be in Boston. There's a jersey we can finally buy it. Feel good.

At anyone.

They throwing off backs and like yo, let's go. And then the way they were playing, come on, man, should.

We back through this aftermath real quick? And yeah, let's see what we got in the aftermath? Randy sets the record for most receiving touchdowns in the season, ends up at twenty three. Tom We're going to set the record for most passing touchdowns in the season, ends up at fifty. Peyton Manning has since broken that record. He put up fifty five. The Patriots would finish the season sixteen and zero, first team to go undefeated since the seventy two Dolphins do.

What weren't they supposed to call it dead?

Yeah, because there was a holding penalty and Eli was in the grass Bro.

Dumb, I'm saying, and ship like we can't come home bro.

And for our new friends listeners out there, this we did this episode episode one with Eli and Tody Versky her listen, that's.

How we started this old stinking podcast. Yeah, yeah, New York on connounce so cool. Yeah, they have both of them his first and they was.

Doing they was doing all that ship too, because it was just they was always doing this thing like the the whole Manning family versus Tom Brady was always Yeah. So that's why he used to pissed me off too, because anytime the whole shit would come up, they bring up the daddy, Like, fuck the daddy. I don't give a fuck about the dad. What the fuck does he even have to doing the legacy of the manager dad? Fuck y'all man.

Some say that the meetings or you know, hierarchy family that runs the NFL out.

Oh, it's like some some mobshit, a low Illuminati type shit.

People say that. I believe that I do too.

That makes sense for a lot of things that was happening.

Eighteen and one Giant loss Jack, we miss anything.

We were pretty clean in this episode. There were tons of records from this game. We'll get into it later there I will bore you with them here. It's also the President's Trophy, not the President's Cup Kyler with the hockey correction.

And they always give a trophy to the team in hockey. I'm not a hockey guy.

I really did that much either, But they give for regular season, if you get the best record, they give you a trophy called the President's Trophy or something.

And that person always ends up losing. Really always like bad luck. They never win.

But to put a bow on this thing and to hopefully give us a little hope for the future as a real deal Pats fan, Sam, you got any word to hope for the next era, the Mayo era, the Drake may era, and what do you think?

This is what I think Boston as a city, Patriots as a franchise, y'all gotta stop being racist and bring in some black receivers. Just bring in some motherfuckers. They might, you know, it might not be your flavor. You might feel like it's two rambunctuous, so it's not this or it's not that. But there's a black black people in the city. So this place for them going to hang out, you're gonna start having to put some color on these teams unabashedly if we're gonna get the job done.

Like, how many white receivers do we have right now?

I don't. I don't think any. I don't.

Really.

Yeah, I'm saying do so we're good.

Stay that way getting there.

Stay that way before we move on to ask you a question. So during the roast, during one of your jokes, when you're ripping into Burt, did you see what he pulled out?

Yes, that got cut from that. I was watching it. It got cut, got cut. I think it was in. You think it was in.

Oh, so yeah, we already doing that because I haven't been watching. I'm not gonna lie. Tom left.

My heart broke, and I mean Tom left when the Patriot the Patriots.

Yeah, straight up, I have not been watching this whole Mac joneser, I have not.

I don't watch you didn't miss much.

I don't watch football, so I definitely would not know because that's how sad I was.

How about Cam Newton for the year.

I was real sad Tom retired to Patriot. Man, that was just not right. It just wasn't right, and I didn't want to watch no more. I was like I don't even care, and then go to Tampa and win broke.

My Tampa Tampa.

For a while, I was mad at Tom, like you just feelings Tampa, Tampa. I haven't picked up I haven't watched football time. So we are doing that. That's good. Just keep doing that.

I'm with you.

I'm with you. I just went to Tampa for like the second time. Nice nice airport.

Nice you ever you ever see you Gotta watch this interview. It's Aretha Franklin and they ask her about all the singers of today what he thinks about them? Like, who do you? What do you think about They're like, all right, you got a grande Echago. Nice gowns. That's what you just did to Tampa.

Nice gowns. We'll be right back after this quick break. Let's name this game. What do we name this game?

The sixteen and oh game, twenty three to fifty game because of the two records that were beaten with Rod, Moss and Brady, or the Foreshadow Game.

You know where I'm going, fore Shadow Game.

The four Shadow Game, the Foreshadow Game. Let's score the game. Is this the greatest game of all time? Let score it?

Stakes one to ten decimal's okay, the stakes of this regular season game to go undefeated that hadn't been done since seventy two.

I mean, you got put it. Nine.

That's a.

That's a that's an integrity score. I went not on the line nine one star power, lots of stars, ten Tom Rady on other teams Eli appiersas gameplay, shootout, back and forth, down to twelve points, come back, thirty eight.

Ten, ten, twenty eight to three games A ten, nine point nine you think that's okay?

Okay? Eight if we compared into eight the name of.

The game, the foreshadow game one to ten decimals, okay, Sam Jay seven seven eight five eight three, that's an integrity score. That's integrity score. Ten on a star power is.

A little tough, thank ye nine eight point one nine.

Sometimes I like to calculate like celebrities at the game. This wasn't a super boring We didn't see a j Lo titty or nothing.

You know what I mean? So like no titty out, where does it stack up? Jack?

This puts us right ahead of the twenty eleven NBA Finals Game six Mavericks Heat, which we did with Mark Cuban and right behind the wide right, Super Bowl twenty five Bills versus Giants, which we did with Tom Poppa. Pretty good, pretty good company there right on.

Saying we miss anything about this? No, do you got something to plug? What are we doing right now?

Right now?

What's the name of the tour? Where can we find where the tickets are?

The name of the tour is Niggiyo Leo Niggio, which is a play on Akira in Yo Tokyo. Thank yeah, uh and yeah it's called neo nigo because I like anime, and uh, I'm going everywhere. I'm all over this this great country of ours. All that's on my like Instagram at CMJ Comic, I say, m J y Comic. Twitter is the same, so you can find out where I'm at. And you know, just staying busy.

Any la tour, any la dates.

I'm gonna come here.

I want to come see.

I get you. I know you're more than invited.

Thank you.

Absolutely.

Shout out to Sam J. That was an awesome episode and check out her special on HBO Max. Check out the special on HBO Max. What does that Salute me or shoot me? Salute me or shoot me?

Yeah?

Named after Waka Flocka mixtape.

Thank You, Thank You.

That's one.

Man.

She was awesome, real deal Bostonian. She knows her stuff.

I gotta go check out some of her. What does she call it?

The tour?

Yeah, Black Culture Tour of Boston. Oh oh that wy Yeah, yeah you should do that.

That'd be sick.

Yeah, I'll tackle. It's a food in Dorchester. Yeah, but you go to the hipster food you go to one time, to a place I was interested and I probably shouldn't have been there, but we got it.

She was riding hard for the Chinese food of Boston, yeah, which was a.

Whoa what do I know? I think you know, American Chinese was invented literally in San Francisco, the biggest town, and literally I don't know.

There was one noodle spot I was trying to think of.

I used to go a Taiwan cafe here and there. I never read that in Boston. I ordered from another one. What was Bernard's. Bernard's is the one over in Chestnut Hills, Like, yeah, it was a little it.

Was all right, it was good. I liked it. I liked it.

I was always I was always door dashing, like wagon Mama from the seaport. So I was not not experiencing.

Chinese Come on, yeah, I know. All right.

Well, that was a fun episode. It was great to get to know her a little bit. Let's hit this ol hot line.

Oh, hold on, hold on. Before we hit the hot line, we didn't have a lot of time with Sam. We were moving and grooving, we were in the zone. But we got to talk about some of these records that were broken in this week seventeen game. There's a slew of them. We could do a whole episode just about these records. And then we got to put our shine on our man, Randy twenty three touchdown grabs. That was the record most single season receiving touchdowns. That still stands,

Brady's red Flaco Flaco is he elite Flaco. I'm still working on my Baltimore. Actually, some of these coach with the extra game still too for sure, just like to add an extra game and all these.

Records fell down. It's nice that some of them are holding strong. We'll see if we go to eighteen games.

But the Patriots finished the season with a plus three point fifteen point differential, breaking the point differential of the nineteen forty two Bears, which was plus two ninety two. Crazy the And then we got to get to the viewership. The viewership on this thing was nuts. Ended up with thirty four point six million.

Total viewers regular season is a.

Regular season game last season. To put this in comparison, the high was thirty one point eight million viewers. That was on the Texans Ravens playoff game of this last season January twentieth, twenty twenty four game. Right, but it's a playoff game, but still to put it in comparison, three million more. And like we said, it was also broadcast on NFL Network, CBS, and NBC. I guess didn't get any love Fox.

Let's go right, Probably the best team to not win a Super Bowl? Yeah, ever, yeah, and maybe in.

All sport, maybe in all sport maybe.

Yeah, I mean there's been the Bruins team was very good last year. They really good do it, but they went records. They just had a great record.

Bruins last year were even in the same cont like that's were they broke a record for most wins, Like.

Yeah, but President Cup winners never going And there was also like the whole thing where they don't have overtime as much, the whole shootout thing. There's a lot of people always arguing that maybe that.

Maybe that Golden State Warriors team looking up that could have been that that's that's that's a good that's a good conversation that we could have maybe a full on post guests could be a.

Top five tough five best team to not win a championship ever. Yeah, but I think this just with the record, with all the record names everything and all the there's so.

Much story around this twenty seventeen with just getting Randy Moss and then just bawling out.

By Gate and West and then Junior kicking the shit out of teams early. There was a vengeance tour. It was just gonna be like it wasn't about whether the Patriots were gonna win.

It was gonna be like, were they gonna get fifty and how many points were they gonna win by?

Is what you were watching for? So fun season sucks what happened, but a good game. Sam was great.

He lived some glory years.

Let's do the hotline. Let's say the hot line. Remember that number is four two four two nine one two nine zero.

I'm calling because I just want to know, of all the players that you guys have played with, who was one of the smartest guys who never got the recognition that they deserved, that knew the game inside and out, but nobody would have known it. That's my question.

Wow, it's a good question.

I'm gonna go throwback team Ryan Wendell. He was my roommate and he was a He knew everything inside and out of the playbook for the O line.

He was very versatile. You played center guard when we need him, swing him around and like also, he would always we were roommates for a couple of years. He'd be reading in the communal room with the big TV in it, which is a folk You can't do that.

You can't take communal room and read the xbox is literally in the communal room.

And he would do that so much. I get so mad.

But he was a fucking smart guy and he smart football player, very smart outside of the game. And now I think he's the offensive line coach for Buffalo Bills.

Right, he's with the Rams now actually, oh he's been Rams. I forgot twenty twenty three as of twenty twenty three to present.

Yeah, yeah, he was smart. He's smart kind of stuff. Was he reading fiction? Non fiction? Everything? Everything? Everything?

Right?

Ryan, Ryan would be a great guest to have. We gotta get him on now that I know, I forgot it. I just saw him with a practice Oh that's right when Yeah, gotta get him in. Bro, you gotta be able to read through God like, put some noise canceling headphones and I don't care.

No.

First off, we had six bedrooms in the goddamn house. Go sit your asking on the side or go so go to your room. Good, good question. Hey Jules, this is Nathan from with soccoborod Island.

I was wondering if the Patriots made the playoffs and they gave you a call and said, hey, Jules, we need you to finish this vonge.

Would you come back all right?

Love the show, love the content.

You're amazing, Nathan, Like we talking like, we have a shot to win this thing.

Let's let's let's help Nathan out your one seed Pats are one seed killing it?

Who drag it out? You know? And then their top receiver goes down. You get a phone call. Now, it's just how many games we have, Like is this in the AFC Championship? We talk in divisional round? They gotta buy and they're gonna play their first game of the first game.

Oh, so this is the jump of playoffs? Oh, I mean I would, I would, I would teeter at it. It's just the they're gonna be fine tuned. When you go into an NFL season. I haven't played in two years, three years, you're gonna jump in to when these guys are full board out, perfectly running on fucking just straight alcohol as in a car Like no, dude, these guys are so fine tuned by this point of the season, it'd be hard to be able to get open a couple of times.

What if coach Mayo said I just need a couple of third downs in the fourth quarter. Mayo will know this. Mayo, if you're watching this, you'll know this. You know me? Baby? Next question, watch, so.

I was thinking considering you were on the roads with Brady on Netflix the other night, just thinking about possibly to bring in Randy talk about this game.

I don't know.

You can pick a game, whether it be Dallas Thanksgiving ninety eight or the game is a Giant where he broke the jenerisis record. That'd be cool, thank you.

Yeah, we would love to get Randy on. We talked about it. We'll figure we're gonna we're gonna get him on here as soon as we can. We just gotta.

We might have to go out and bring Games with Names on a fishing boat, on a bass boat and do this thing while we're fishing or something, because Randy, if he ain't doing TV, he's fishing. If I known anything, he was so great to see him.

He's the best.

He's the best. Little shine to Randy on that faithful day in ninety eight. We all know the meme, the screenshot three catches, one hundred and sixty three yards three tds.

What a stat line is a freak? That's a stat line bombs.

Games of Names with Aaron and just from the East Coast. I wanted to call him and say that I had a great time watching y'all. Well, the Patriots at the rest of Tom Brady. Jules, I love you. I miss you all on the field. Obviously that will never change, but great times.

It was great seeing you all together again.

Anyway, looking forward to listening to your podcasts.

Alrighty Aaron Andrews again.

I think he's just glazing us up, loving us up. Good guy. He might be our the new member of the whack back here the frequent caller.

Hey, Javels, It's Nick from main, big fan of yours.

For a long time, I wanted to pitch two games for you.

Game two twenty seventeen Eastern Conference Finals, Isaiah Thomas's fifty three point blowout game, and then another one kind of out of less fields for you two thousand and nine break up Championship Montreal aloets Saskatchewan rough Riders, the thirteenth Man game. Uh thinking maybe like thank ca hoone receiver for the Alos, you and him seem to have pretty similar styles back then. I feel like that the fun uh fun conversation too, the Poe thank.

Gels straight CFL and Isaiah thomas fifty three blog game.

I love that the thirteenth Man, Yam, I gotta do a little uh digging on that one.

We gotta check it out. Fun fact almost was a BC Lion BC Lion and the Maynor like in the CF the was it CFL right? Huh? What do they call it? League? CFL. Yeah, CFL mayn I wonder how North And I remember when Isaiah Thomas was blowing this is this was for the Celts, right.

Yeah, this was, I mean it was he was with us the fourth quarter, rolls around t points to his wrist. Baby, Yeah, playing.

Playing, I had a hip thing that when I know that was the same or what happened. He's still trying to get in, Yeah he was.

He finished the year with the Suns this year, but I mean he was bawling in the G League, still trying to come back. But yeah, once he lost that quickness in that first step with the hip, it was kind of downhill unfortunately. But man, some of those fourth quarters in that season, the Celts man electric, a little guy, the little guy Tommy used to say, legend, a Jewels.

Gron This is Radsom Chicago, Illinois and a die hard Hats fan surrounded by a He is Chicago Bears fans in the great City of Chicago.

The question for you guys is did you.

Have any pregame rituals or superstitions that he had to complete before the games, And if not, did you have any unique teammates that had some.

Unique rituals and superstitions before the game.

That's it, go Pats. I used to lay out my uniform, like I remember, I saw a picture of Dion doing it pregame, and so I used to do it since I was like a kid.

We're talking like on the floor.

Of the on the floor, you put your pants, your jersey, your socks, your cleats. You basically make like a like a what is it like a FBI print crime audios of your uniform.

Very reminiscent of the first day of school kind of vibe.

Yeah, get your fit laid out. Always lay out.

I have like four I always had, uh, I'd have like three or four different socks. Four because I used to go, like, ah, a sock for a while, I didn't Jordan's socks, and then I stopped doing those. I did these other socks. And then i'd have the tights or I was wearing were you would a a sock and then you put like a blue sleeve over your calf.

And I'd always have to pick from like three brand new ones three three or four brand new ones. I'd have four pairs and I just have to like look see And then I had the same routine. I get there like four hours early.

I'd go and sit in the hot tub with my play sheet, my play call sheet, which you know, you have every situation, every you know, everything in the game plan that you could run. You do that chat oshare or receiver coach used to give the give us these tip sheets. So you go over every everything, third down plan, four point plant or four point playing third down, the red area, your backed up situations, your situate, your airball.

He had everything on it, so you go over that in the hot tub. After that, I would go catch balls. I had this tennis ball drill or I would go over in the back of the.

Stadium and sometimes people fans could actually see, you know, they'd walk by because they would rope it off and there'd be some security guys there. Because I needed a brick wall, and so I used to do like two hundred and two hundred and fifty balls of that. I had these different drills that I used to do, and then I would go to the field and it started with Double J's who was our equipment manager. Then it went to Bobby Balls, and then it went to Bobby Uh.

I mean I would.

We'd be scouring. I'd have our equipment guy, super bowls, everything. We'd scour for a fucking brick wall so I could do my ball drows every day.

It was crazy, like it was like a.

Thing that's cool, you know what I mean, Like, oh shit, we haven't found It'll like double j's. I got half the equipment staff, like fucking what are we gonna do this day? It was fucking awesome. But they always took care of me and those guys, I mean, those are the types of people that get are the unsung heroes, the equipment staffs, the training staffs, the fucking meal ladies, like all the people behind the scenes in the hallways. When you see the guys working on the fields like

Kiss were there, like you mentioned doing that routine on away games. Was there any stadiums that were really good for your routine or.

Yeah, Denver always had a lot of space. Denver had huge locker rooms. You could do it in the fucking locker room. Whoa you know what I mean? Like I remember we went to San Francisco. We stayed in Rodwod Shores, like we had to me and Double J.

Or it was Bobby balls and or could it. We couldn't even have an intern because there was a while where Double J's as we know, he got fired and uh you know then I had like I had like basically a throwing combine for all the people that worked. I had scouts. I was like, nah, you can't do it, dude, No, no, you know these guys.

They'd all be busting by balls, like oh we having the combine this year, Like the training staff would be fucking with me, Jim Waylay and stuff or half.

Sometimes it'd be a trainer that could throw and I have to steal him. He's like doing more.

I'm like done, he ain't playing this week, don't let's go get the balls. But san Francisco, we had to like walk and we were doing it and there's like rocks and balls are going near the bay because we were right on the water and ship. It was so fucking fun, and I knew exactly where we were because I grew up in that area. That was like one of my favorites.

That's a good question. Yeah, and there's more to We won't go into it now, but there's more.

But I want to hear about other players superstitions or routines too, at some point in the future.

Yeah.

But I didn't worry about I wasn't like looking at other players. You're in a fucking zone, bro, this is your I'm going to war. You think I'm worried about what they're doing. No, because if I do my job, he does his job. We collectively do our job together, and we go and fucking win and execute the goddamn game. Okay, I'm not sitting here stroking Jojo. Was looking at fucking gronk stick Kyler. Okay, more of a hockey thing, then I get it.

Chicago, great question.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Also I wanted to touch on that. I don't think I've ever heard anyone from say, let's go pats in like a Midwestern accent.

It sounds good.

I like chicuaggle, not bad, not bad Chicago.

We didn't ninko uh been a fan of podcasts started. There's at least two guys on what you consider interviewing at some point in the future, either like William mcginner's on the YEP if this gaving us Indianapolis where he stopped edge Ron James at the goal line, and or possibly Troy Paulamalu in the game against the Ravens in the ANFC Championship game where he picked up Placo at Pittsburgh forty three. I hope that will happen at some point. Be excited if it does.

God bless those are two. Those are we gotta get them on. Willie mack He'll come on. We gotta get Willie Mack on. It was good to see him a couple of days ago at the Roast. You know, he's big bro. Troy Paula Mali. That'd be a that'd be an awesome guest to ye. I was such a fan

It was crazy Troy. I mean, Troy was so cool.

And I grew up in I grew up in California, and I grew up playing with like a lot of Polly's Simoans Tongans. So I was always a huge, like fan of any Simoan, any Tongan in the league, you know, the juniors. Like he was a god when I was a kid, you know, even though I was a Niners fan, but like he.

Was just so cool.

So that would be a that's for sure. It would be amazing to get Troy on here. I'm such a fan of him and the respect he asked for the game. He go light you up and like do a prayer for you afterwards, and he prayed before play. I think that's a superstition. Talking about superstition, not superstition, religious routine, routine.

When when did he retire?

I played against him a couple of times. Yeah, yeah, he was he was a little older, and those are two guys. I kind of ball on him, I think, but I think he hit me pretty hard. I had to block him a couple of times.

Those are two guys I would love to have on my team for a goal line stand. Deroy Palin Molle de.

Troy just timing snap, jumping over, getting the fucking quarterback. That was. He had some of the craziest stuff. Awesome.

He was three to fourteen.

Yeah, oh I'm down, I'm down, all right, good episode, What a game. Thanks again to Sam Jay. She was awesome.
