00:00 You know who I have right now. We have Super Bowl champions. We have Gronk, Julian Edelman. Guys,
00:05 how we feeling? We're feeling pretty good. I mean, we're feeling as good as we possibly
00:09 could feel in Vegas. We've been here for three nights now. It feels like I've been here for 12
00:14 days. But that's Vegas for you. You can't really sleep. So I've been just rolling around in bed.
00:19 And now I'm just here, man, and just getting the juices flowing with my wingman Julian right here.
00:24 All right. Let's talk about the big dog, Coach Belichick. Are you guys surprised that he hasn't
00:30 landed a job? What do you all think about that? Yeah, I'm very surprised. But it just shows me
00:37 that not everyone really wants to win in this league. People want to have comfort jobs. They
00:43 want to have cake jobs. They don't want to have any kind of uncomfortableness when someone comes
00:50 into a building, which you need to feel those feelings to win. Yeah. OK. Super Bowl, you guys
00:57 played in plenty. Give me, Julian, a Super Bowl routine that you had to do prior to the game.
01:05 You know, our team was really good at trying to do everything to keep your regular week routine
01:16 available at the Super Bowl. And I was a guy that like I did the sleep tank, the saltwater pods.
01:22 Yeah. And I would go in there like three times a week. And we'd always find in all the Super
01:26 Bowl cities, we'd find like a place that had them. So there'd be a designated time where you could go
01:31 and do that. And you just try to do everything like you did throughout the year. We got you
01:36 there. So I remember that was specific. It was like going to like on a field trip. You know what
01:41 I mean? You're at school, you're doing your things, but you had a little excitement because
01:45 you're away from school and you're with the fellows a lot more because you're having that
01:49 hotel life. So, you know, everything to try to keep that regular routine going.
01:54 All right. So I played seven years. I only went to the playoffs once, had one game. Aaron Rodgers
02:01 took us home. Do you going into a Super Bowl game, does it feel like is it like every game you have
02:08 the jitters that you might not be able to sleep that night, you might not be able to eat, you can
02:13 eat during the AFC Championship game, but this game you can't like talk to me about that because
02:16 I don't know what it feels like. Man, that's a really good question, actually. But like what
02:22 Julian just said is that Coach Balochuk had us prepare like, you know, it was, you know, a typical
02:28 game. Yeah. He kept us on the routine. You don't switch up what's working. Yeah. But the nerves of
02:34 the game, you know, when every whenever I stepped out on the field, no matter what, if it was a
02:37 preseason game, a regular season game, playoff game, I had the nerves going. My heart's always
02:42 beating fast. And what got me to settle them down is going out, you know, once the first quarter
02:47 starts and going out and actually playing the game. And after about four or five plays, everything
02:51 settles in. I start relaxing. The heartbeat slows down. You know, the game slows down. The nerves
02:56 are going away. And then you're just playing the game of football. That's what the Super Bowl game
03:00 is. It's another game of football. It's you prepared for it, just like how you prepared for
03:05 any regular season game. Just don't switch up your routine. You know, do what you've been doing.
03:09 Don't have 10 energy drinks. Have just the one. So some billions is a number. What people don't
03:16 realize is you have two weeks to prepare for this game. Yeah. So, you know, you take you put your
03:22 work in back in the home stadium at home that first week. You have competitive practice and
03:28 then you go over all these situations so much by the time it's game time. You're like, I just want
03:33 to play the game because, you know, by the time it's Friday today going into the game, you've seen
03:41 every situation in your head. You've seen the third downs, the first and second down playing
03:45 the red area, playing the five two point plays that we put in just in case we need it. You know,
03:49 so you see it, you talk about it so much. You've been through the media, all the distractions,
03:55 and you just want to get out there and play and you feel the electricity of the stadium.
03:58 You feel that it's something bigger. Yes. Once that first ball snapped,
04:05 you get out there, you run on the field, you get hit. It's just football.
04:09 You guys played with the greatest of all time, Tom Brady. Patrick Mahomes has done something
04:19 that pretty much only Tom Brady has done. Do you think with a win today, he can he can catch Brady
04:27 in that goal conversation? I know it's not done yet. He's only been in the league about six,
04:32 seven years. And obviously, you know, it's a journey. It's not a sprint.
04:34 But do you think Patrick Mahomes could catch Brady potentially?
04:40 I think Patrick Mahomes is the only quarterback that has the potential to catch Brady.
04:46 There's going to be so many variables and factors that play into it over the next, you know,
04:52 15 years. Does he want to play till he's 40 years old? Does he want to play till he's 45?
04:58 You don't know that. That's only up to him. And there's so many other things that have to go.
05:02 Right. How long is coach Andy Reed going to be the head coach for as well? I mean,
05:06 that's a big variable right there. How long is Travis Kelsey going to play with him?
05:09 Is his number one weapon throughout his whole tenure as a quarterback? So there's so much
05:13 that goes into it. But if there's one guy that can catch Tom Brady, it's Patrick Mahomes and
05:18 there's no one else. But only time will tell if that happens. And if you ask me, I don't
05:23 I don't think that it's going to be achievable because what Tom Brady did is just spectacular.
05:27 Tom is a freak. Tom is different. Gronk, talk about Travis Kelsey and what he's been doing
05:36 because before him, it was you. So being able to, you know, take Jerry Rice's record,
05:42 doing things that we didn't think anybody could do, especially at that position,
05:48 especially after you. Talk about Travis Kelsey. Yes, Travis Kelsey has put the, you know,
05:52 tight end position, you know, on the map tremendously. I mean, it's been on the map
05:56 for now about a decade or so. I mean, compared to like the 1990s and early 2000s, there was there
06:02 was great tight ends. But, you know, Travis Kelsey has taken it to another level as well.
06:06 And what he's been doing at that position has just been spectacular. I mean, seven one thousand yard
06:11 seasons in a row. It's hard for a wide receiver to even do that. And then he almost had his eighth
06:16 in a row, but he decided to sit out the last game of the season, which was the right call.
06:19 I mean, you had the playoffs coming up. You need to rest in the position and the slot slotting of
06:24 the playoffs weren't going to change. So there was no reason to play. But also what he's been
06:27 doing in the playoffs, you know, his records, touchdowns, receptions, all that. It's just
06:32 been spectacular. It's been great to see a guy at his caliber just keep that tradition of the
06:36 tight end, you know, on the map. I mean, he's changing the position of how it's played and
06:41 he just knows how to get open all the time, man, which is just unbelievable. It's crazy.
06:47 All right, guys, before I get you out of here, who you got winning the game this week?
06:50 Niners. Twenty four. Twenty one.
06:54 Going with the Niners. Thirty one. Twenty one.
06:58 Hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes. I've already lost a couple of times now that I'm a gambler
07:05 because I'm out of the National Football League. Yes. Let him know he's
07:08 out. I'm going to tickle the devil again and try to do it. Oh, tickle, tickle, tickle.
07:16 While we're tickling. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, talk to us about your partnership with
07:23 bounty. All right. Well, I've been with bounty for a little bit. Now they had a wingman concepts
07:28 this year, so I recruited my wingman who's been my wingman from the very beginning. So it just
07:33 made sense. Gave Julian a call. Hey, man, there's a bounty campaign going on. I need a wingman for
07:38 it. And he goes, I'm all in. I've been your wingman since you got, you know, to New England
07:41 Patriots as a rookie. So it just made sense. And there's a saying, a good old saying out there,
07:45 and I'm from Buffalo. So there's good old saying been around for a while. You know,
07:49 you can't have football without wings, especially Buffalo wild wings. And you can't have those
07:54 wings without bounty. Yes. Perfect for a messy situation, which we've had to wipe a lot for
08:03 each other. Yeah. Wipe us clean with these paper towels, bounty paper towels. Ladies and gentlemen,
08:09 Gronk, Julian Edelman. Appreciate you guys for stopping by. Yes. Thank you. Good to see you.
