(00:22):
boy Gronk picks up one of the trophies, hits it
and there's a permanent ballmark in the back of the trophy.
And I guess if it was only one or two,
I would have fixed it. But I thought we're gonna

Town last night. Did you guys enter the stage?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's what I brought that up because the last time
we went to this venue at the MGM for Adam Ray. Yeah,
I had a day dream when I walked through that
I was in the movie The Town. Who were you slain?
Fucking I was slain. I felt like, you know, I
(03:25):
would have been slain in that, but not really, but
like that's what I was self picturing. I see, I.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Remember, and I was like, man, they didn't really like I.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Think you'd work for the Feds.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, remember I always think about the Remember the dub
over at the time when Tom went to Tampa. They
used the scene from the Town where he said you
can visit me in South Florida and they get in
a fight. Remember they did that with me and Brady. Yeah, yeah,
so I always think about that too. So I just
had like an epiphany.

Be fun. Go so tickets, Uh will be a tomorrow

It'll be fun. It's gonna be a fun night, and

the wilbur It's gonna be like potentially triple the size.
That's just one show, Gary, without further ado, I never knew.
Was that a du Yeah, without further ado, here's our
interview with r KK. One of the coolest dudes. This
(04:24):
guy doesn't need an introduction, but he is a six
time Super Bowl champion.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
He's the cornerstone of the community up in the New
England area.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
He's our former boss but kind of like a dad.
And also the guy that used to sign the bottom
of the check, the bottom of the check, owner of
the greatest franchise in NFL, guy.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
That gave the squirrel, Julian Edelman and myself an opportunity
to show our talents.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
RKK. Are we already and welcome Robert Kak.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Ladies and gentlemen, Yeah, stand up, give him a round
of applause without RKK, Julian I.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
His hands are so heavy. Wow, what a treat, What
a treat. First time we ever do a live show,
and we have arguably the best owner in the National
Football League US hold on.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Arguably, he is the best owners in the NFL Football League,
and not because his team has won Super Bowls, but
because he cares about his players, and he cares about
the community, and he cares about his fans. And I
learned that from r KK from day one when I
got there. And on top of it, I'm building a
playground in Boston area, right on the right on the
(05:48):
Charles River, and r KK was so generous he donated
a nice portion of a nice beautiful check to my
playground that is opening in August. And that just shows
how much he cares about the community as well he
cares about as former players. Thank you for everything you do. Ours.
Let's sit down and get.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Into it down.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
How lucky am I to have had these two guys
for a decade together. I mean, it's if the Good
Lord lets me have another life.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I want to come back as one of them.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I thought it was me, you always said me, but
now Julian's a part of that. I would want to
come back as Julian too. How about you combining us both. Hey,
oh that's a good life.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But the crazy thing is, well, you guys don't realize
mister Kraft goes around every day at our facility. So
like we saw mister Kraft daily sawkk rkk rkk. I know,
I still you know, it's just still mister Kraft, but
it's our Kak. But he would be there. He'd be
in all our meetings and he'd always give us like
a little bit of advice when we needed. He was
(06:51):
an ultimate shoulder for when you were at low times
in your life with things on and off the field.
He was just a great guy. So it's so ins
to have you here. We're really excited. We got to
start off with something about this new generation Patriots. How
excited are we for this new Mike rabel Era.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I personally am very excited. We you know, our family
has had the privilege of owning the team for thirty
one years. Thirty one and the last two years have
been very tough. And I speak as a fan because
after my family, this team is the most important thing
(07:32):
and what I love about sports and especially the NFL
in today's crazy world, the one thing that brings everybody
together like nothing else is the NFL. People of all backgrounds,
all political beliefs, and they're all rooting for the team.
(07:52):
And we got to win, and I believe we're set
up this year to turn around what's gone on on
the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Heck, yeah we are. Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
That's what we like to hear.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
RKK.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Before you own the New England Patriots and you were
thinking about it. What made you pull that trigger that
you wanted to own the team? Was there a certain
player on the team that you loved to watch. Was
it just a whole community that you love to be
a part of. What made you really want to own
the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, I had the privilege of playing a little football
in college. It's a sport I loved. Even though I
think I'm thirty five. The Patriots weren't created till nineteen sixty.
I used to watch the New York Giants were like
my home team because that was televised up in Boston,
(08:52):
and I used to watch Frank Giffit and Wyatt Moduleski
cat Cavich and I I just loved football, and I
dreamt about one day trying to buy the team. And
I had a greater chance to be a starting quarterback
in the NFL because they're thirty two than owning a
(09:16):
team and some you'll look at the Steelers, the Giants,
the Beers, same family for one.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Hundred years, hundred years.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So you know I in eighty five I picked up
the land, and eighty eight I bought the stadium out
of bankruptcy. In ninety four we kept the team from
moving to Saint Louis, And it was a great moment
in my life to be able to buy that team
and live a big dream. And I stayed to everyone
(09:47):
out there, especially the young people, dream big and when
it doesn't go your way, keep coming back like the
tide and you'll be surprised. Most people don't persevere, and
that's part of the key to success in life.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Without a doubt. I mean relentlessness is you're giving me
a little dog, little dog vibes, mister Kraft. That's what
we call like guys that are relentless in the league,
in the locker room. So what was your best decision
that you've made as an owner to date?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Well, the one that got questioned the most was in
ninety nine, I gave up a number one draft pick
for a coach who had only won a little over
forty percent of his game to get him out from
I don't know if there are any Jet fans here,
But I think getting Bill Belichick to come to the
(10:47):
Patriots in nineteen ninety nine it was a big risk
and I got hammered in the Boston media, But I
think he was with us for twenty four years and
we did Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Now, is it true? Jan bon Jovi introduced you to.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yes, I'm the you know what. It was on the
sidelines of the ninety six Super Bowl when we were
in New Orleans and playing the Green Bay Packers my
third year of ownership, and bon Jovi had been a goo,
a big fan of Bill's and we're on the sideline
(11:31):
and we became real good pals after that. Bon Jovi
is awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
He I mean, he's basically a Patriot. Now. I got
to ask a real quick question. Were you ever mad
at Gronk for denting the Super Bowl Trophy? Truthfully? I mean,
what kind of maniac woul dent the trophy?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Well, Julian, you were part of dancing the trophy. You
threw the knuckleball to me while the trophy was in
my hand as a baseball bat. You knew I was
going to take a hack.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I didn't think you were actually gonna use the Lombardy
to swing.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
That's why I bumped it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Were you ever mad at s RKK?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So think about it. We're at Fenway Park throwing out
the first pitch. They invited the team, and we go
out with six trophies and we had different players right
before underneath the Green Monster, these guys are fooling around
(12:30):
and Julian's throwing fastballs. Our boy Gronk picks up one
of the trophies, hits it and there is a permanent
ballmark in the back of the trophy. And I guess
if it was only one or two, I would have
fixed it. But I thought, we're gonna have a Gronk's
(12:52):
memory for the history of the Patriots. I said, we're
leaving it. So if anyone comes up to Patriot plays
some visits us, well show you that trophy with the
end then, and it sort of speaks about everything these
two were. They You know, we got to have a
(13:12):
good time in life. These guys are the best, and
when they were on our team, there was a level
of high spirit and positive vibes that was awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Everyone always thinks that we just worked all We had
a lot of fun too.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, we did have a lot of fun. Put the
work in. Work was always first, and then we played after.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
And we saw that from the top. Yes, you know
that's how our KK. Put your work in. Have fun,
but ultimately let's get our work done.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
And talking about having fun, ur KK, you won six
Super Bowls. What's the best way to celebrate a Super
Bowl win?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, I actually I was thinking about. I thought I
should ask them a question because when we were privileged
to win the super bow Bowl, it takes about three
four months to make rings, and then I always had
a ring ceremony and we passed out the rings in
(14:11):
my backyard. It was amazing, I thought, and that was
pretty We had some fun times. I thought, you guys
should tell me what went on either during the Super
Bowls or at the ring ceremony. Things I didn't know
about that was going on in my backyard.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, mister RKK, just don't go to the guest house
after Uncle Snoop and I were there. That smell is
nothing from anything we were doing.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I pleaded the fifth on that one, Jorge Pleada fifth,
Cleta fith and then lastly, before we get into determine
what kind of dude you are, RKK.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
We keep on hearing about this Tom Brady statue. I
think that we should just hire Gronk to beat the
scope of that statue and have him do the statue.
I think that would be unbelievable. Everyone would remember that
he's a statue. We want to talk about the statut to.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Be It's a wonderful suggestion, except we made the statue
last year and Tommy started broadcasting and we couldn't get
him up, so we haven't coming August eighth. And actually
I would love, since I saw your artistic work with
the trophy, if you did it, but we had the
(15:33):
privilege of spending seven figures to get We have the trophy,
I mean the statue in storage in Foxbro. We wanted
to present it last year. We're gonna unveil it. I
believe it's August eighth, August first preseason game against Washington.
(15:55):
You'll see it. It's unbelievable. He's not a bad looking guy.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
He's pretty handsome.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
How's that jaw line looking on the statue? It nice
and sharp?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Is it twenty two year old jaw line? Or is
it forty five year old jaw line?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It's Tommy one hundred percent, just making sure he is
you guys know, and the general public doesn't know. Besides
being a vicious competitor and an awesome player, he's got.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
A heart of goal, he does and one of.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
The finest human beings I've ever met in my life.
So for us to have a permanent statue of him
there for our fans, think about it. The greatest player
in the history of the game over one hundred years
was the one hundred and ninety ninth pick, a com
(16:46):
pick in the sixth round. So all these great analysts
for Draft Day missed it, and we lucked out and
got him.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And that's what makes the NFL so great. It's because
everyone has as a shot, everyone has hope. There's countless
stories of sixth round, seventh round, undrafted worst teams coming
back to win. The parody is the best, and that's
why the NFL is king. Should we get into the questions.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Let's get into it.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
What kind of dude do you think mister Kraft is?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
So the first question to determine what type of dude
our KK is with the Dude Questionnaire formula, you ready.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
To go our These are a series of questions that
we came up with certified answer quick you are quick questions,
nothing big. We'll take a couple of notes. We'll have
a couple all right here and there and maybe a
follow up or two.
Speaker 3 (17:38):

Up, big game. You see RKK in the building. Always
all right on you, Rob.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I'm not sure if you ever ran a forty yard dash,
but if you have, what was your forty time back
in the day forty time, I.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Wouldn't be being truthful, I had okay speed, Like when
I played, I could get through the line and go
down the field fifteen to twenty years, fifteen to twenty yards,
but then the catch me.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Okay, quicker than fast, changing direction, more of a three
cone guy. I'll put that in the no school, thank you, Julian.
More quicker than fast, change direction, very similar, And if you're.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Quicker than fast, that's actually better in the NFL, as.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Turns better to me. Both.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, it's best to have both, but I would choose
to be quicker than fast.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Create separation.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I feel like that.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Skill set you know to you know makes you a
better player because of separation, because football is all about separation.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Separating through the line, getting through I could do.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
That and go fifteen to twenty thirty yards, but they'd
always catch me.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Now, RKK, you played high school football.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You didn't Did you play any sports in high school?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
No sports in high school?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
We observed the Sabbath and so, out of respect to
my dad and everything in them, I didn't start playing
football till I went to college. What position?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Half back?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Half back? In safety? Quicker than two ways?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You're known for your style, You're known for your outfits.
Take us through your game day look from head to
toe game day look, yes, and what type of shoes
are you wearing?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Are those Aircraft ones?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Aircraft you know that Nike makes mine? Oh yeah, yeah.
The CEO of Nike twelve years ago saw me wearing
air Force ones. I introduced them at an event in Boston,
a financial meeting, and he said, why don't we make
(23:39):
you your own line? And these generated a half million
dollars that go to charities in the Boston area, And
every year Nike makes me a special air Force one.
One good.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
He's always swagging. He went from the white collar. I
remember the transition blue shirt, white collar, but that that
kind of dated. After after four or fourth Super Bowl,
when you started getting to five and six, the swag meter,
mister craft went up. You started wearing the Aircraft one,
the jean T shirt, you were going T shirt and
(24:15):
then suit jacket over. I mean, I thought it was
a hell of a.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Trying to learn from YouTube all right?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Then our last question, how do you eat a steak?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
How do I eat a steak?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
How do you get your steak done?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I like a medium rare, all right, rare, By the way,
I didn't eat meat for a few years, and my
medical doctor said, your iron is very low. You should
start eating some meat. So I love a good medium
rare steak.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Now are you using a forking knife?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Now, what if no one's there, You're at a family
barbecue and you got that big old ribbi and you
there's a little extra that meat on that bone? Are
you taking that thing with the hand?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I do that with any birthday. I got the frosting
from him, the top or the middle, that's that's that's
when I used my a M.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
So all right, r kk, We're gonna just kind of

interviewing someone in front of people together. Now we did
the Slate and the Ninco episodes, which those are that's
it's different when you're it's it's different. It's different, you know,
and there's you know, we're still not crazy comfortable at it.
(30:27):
But we liked the system that we have when we
we we feel like we're doing it okay. But like
you know, when you do that kind of stuff live
like hearing each other. I could barely hear them, yeah yeah,
and and I could. I could. I could tell that
Rob was having trouble hearing the answers from r KK
because he was further away and we didn't have ear pieces,
(30:47):
so we couldn't hear because.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
It was a loud you're in a you're in a
it's almost like having like a dance party. Next.

I like I like how he plays the game. And
you know, I told him, just got to live in
the protection plans. You got Nick, you got Kaylee over there.
We'll see what protections he's using. Get the protections right,
so you're always protected because that's your asset. You know,
his asset is being able to he sits in that thing,
he sits in that pocket, he'll take a hit. But
(34:09):
let's like learn so we don't have to take the hit.
And even if we have deficient lineman, let's learn how
to use the protections into our favor.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Smart.
Speaker 1 (34:18):

to have the year he had year two off of
what the first year was, and it was you know,
it's going to be exciting to watch the Panthers this year.
(34:39):
They drafted another receiver who they got that Arizona State kid,
I think, And then that they had the kid last year, Williams.

the Panthers Hunter Renfro. Yeah, And I could be that's
a good that could be a good tool for Brice
because they're both smart. He's Bryce a smart kid. Yeah,
and he's like, you know, you're not a five to
ten quarterback. That's like a first overall pick if you're
(35:26):
not a fucking genius, you know, and if you could
do shit, so we we know we can do it.
We saw him do it in college. We saw him
doing it a little bit last year. You start giving
the weapons, you get a smart guy like Renfro could
work the middle of the field.

we went to this venue at the MGM for Adam Ray. Yeah,
I had a day dream when I walked through that
I was in the movie The Town. Who were you slain?
Fucking I was slain. I felt like, you know, I
(03:25):
would have been slain in that, but not really, but
like that's what I was self picturing. I see, I.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Remember, and I was like, man, they didn't really like I.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Think you'd work for the Feds.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, remember I always think about the Remember the dub
over at the time when Tom went to Tampa. They
used the scene from the Town where he said you
can visit me in South Florida and they get in
a fight. Remember they did that with me and Brady. Yeah, yeah,
so I always think about that too. So I just
had like an epiphany.

the wilbur It's gonna be like potentially triple the size.
That's just one show, Gary, without further ado, I never knew.
Was that a du Yeah, without further ado, here's our
interview with r KK. One of the coolest dudes. This
(04:24):
guy doesn't need an introduction, but he is a six
time Super Bowl champion.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
He's the cornerstone of the community up in the New
England area.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
He's our former boss but kind of like a dad.
And also the guy that used to sign the bottom
of the check, the bottom of the check, owner of
the greatest franchise in NFL, guy.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
That gave the squirrel, Julian Edelman and myself an opportunity
to show our talents.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
RKK. Are we already and welcome Robert Kak.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Ladies and gentlemen, Yeah, stand up, give him a round
of applause without RKK, Julian I.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
His hands are so heavy. Wow, what a treat, What
a treat. First time we ever do a live show,
and we have arguably the best owner in the National
Football League US hold on.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Arguably, he is the best owners in the NFL Football League,
and not because his team has won Super Bowls, but
because he cares about his players, and he cares about
the community, and he cares about his fans. And I
learned that from r KK from day one when I
got there. And on top of it, I'm building a
playground in Boston area, right on the right on the
(05:48):
Charles River, and r KK was so generous he donated
a nice portion of a nice beautiful check to my
playground that is opening in August. And that just shows
how much he cares about the community as well he
cares about as former players. Thank you for everything you do. Ours.
Let's sit down and get.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Into it down.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
How lucky am I to have had these two guys
for a decade together. I mean, it's if the Good
Lord lets me have another life.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I want to come back as one of them.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I thought it was me, you always said me, but
now Julian's a part of that. I would want to
come back as Julian too. How about you combining us both. Hey,
oh that's a good life.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But the crazy thing is, well, you guys don't realize
mister Kraft goes around every day at our facility. So
like we saw mister Kraft daily sawkk rkk rkk. I know,
I still you know, it's just still mister Kraft, but
it's our Kak. But he would be there. He'd be
in all our meetings and he'd always give us like
a little bit of advice when we needed. He was
(06:51):
an ultimate shoulder for when you were at low times
in your life with things on and off the field.
He was just a great guy. So it's so ins
to have you here. We're really excited. We got to
start off with something about this new generation Patriots. How
excited are we for this new Mike rabel Era.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I personally am very excited. We you know, our family
has had the privilege of owning the team for thirty
one years. Thirty one and the last two years have
been very tough. And I speak as a fan because
after my family, this team is the most important thing
(07:32):
and what I love about sports and especially the NFL
in today's crazy world, the one thing that brings everybody
together like nothing else is the NFL. People of all backgrounds,
all political beliefs, and they're all rooting for the team.
(07:52):
And we got to win, and I believe we're set
up this year to turn around what's gone on on
the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Heck, yeah we are. Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
That's what we like to hear.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
RKK.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Before you own the New England Patriots and you were
thinking about it. What made you pull that trigger that
you wanted to own the team? Was there a certain
player on the team that you loved to watch. Was
it just a whole community that you love to be
a part of. What made you really want to own
the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, I had the privilege of playing a little football
in college. It's a sport I loved. Even though I
think I'm thirty five. The Patriots weren't created till nineteen sixty.
I used to watch the New York Giants were like
my home team because that was televised up in Boston,
(08:52):
and I used to watch Frank Giffit and Wyatt Moduleski
cat Cavich and I I just loved football, and I
dreamt about one day trying to buy the team. And
I had a greater chance to be a starting quarterback
in the NFL because they're thirty two than owning a
(09:16):
team and some you'll look at the Steelers, the Giants,
the Beers, same family for one.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Hundred years, hundred years.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So you know I in eighty five I picked up
the land, and eighty eight I bought the stadium out
of bankruptcy. In ninety four we kept the team from
moving to Saint Louis, And it was a great moment
in my life to be able to buy that team
and live a big dream. And I stayed to everyone
(09:47):
out there, especially the young people, dream big and when
it doesn't go your way, keep coming back like the
tide and you'll be surprised. Most people don't persevere, and
that's part of the key to success in life.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Without a doubt. I mean relentlessness is you're giving me
a little dog, little dog vibes, mister Kraft. That's what
we call like guys that are relentless in the league,
in the locker room. So what was your best decision
that you've made as an owner to date?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Well, the one that got questioned the most was in
ninety nine, I gave up a number one draft pick
for a coach who had only won a little over
forty percent of his game to get him out from
I don't know if there are any Jet fans here,
But I think getting Bill Belichick to come to the
(10:47):
Patriots in nineteen ninety nine it was a big risk
and I got hammered in the Boston media, But I
think he was with us for twenty four years and
we did Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Now, is it true? Jan bon Jovi introduced you to.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yes, I'm the you know what. It was on the
sidelines of the ninety six Super Bowl when we were
in New Orleans and playing the Green Bay Packers my
third year of ownership, and bon Jovi had been a goo,
a big fan of Bill's and we're on the sideline
(11:31):
and we became real good pals after that. Bon Jovi
is awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
He I mean, he's basically a Patriot. Now. I got
to ask a real quick question. Were you ever mad
at Gronk for denting the Super Bowl Trophy? Truthfully? I mean,
what kind of maniac woul dent the trophy?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Well, Julian, you were part of dancing the trophy. You
threw the knuckleball to me while the trophy was in
my hand as a baseball bat. You knew I was
going to take a hack.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I didn't think you were actually gonna use the Lombardy
to swing.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
That's why I bumped it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Were you ever mad at s RKK?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So think about it. We're at Fenway Park throwing out
the first pitch. They invited the team, and we go
out with six trophies and we had different players right
before underneath the Green Monster, these guys are fooling around
(12:30):
and Julian's throwing fastballs. Our boy Gronk picks up one
of the trophies, hits it and there is a permanent
ballmark in the back of the trophy. And I guess
if it was only one or two, I would have
fixed it. But I thought, we're gonna have a Gronk's
(12:52):
memory for the history of the Patriots. I said, we're
leaving it. So if anyone comes up to Patriot plays
some visits us, well show you that trophy with the
end then, and it sort of speaks about everything these
two were. They You know, we got to have a
(13:12):
good time in life. These guys are the best, and
when they were on our team, there was a level
of high spirit and positive vibes that was awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Everyone always thinks that we just worked all We had
a lot of fun too.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, we did have a lot of fun. Put the
work in. Work was always first, and then we played after.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
And we saw that from the top. Yes, you know
that's how our KK. Put your work in. Have fun,
but ultimately let's get our work done.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
And talking about having fun, ur KK, you won six
Super Bowls. What's the best way to celebrate a Super
Bowl win?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, I actually I was thinking about. I thought I
should ask them a question because when we were privileged
to win the super bow Bowl, it takes about three
four months to make rings, and then I always had
a ring ceremony and we passed out the rings in
(14:11):
my backyard. It was amazing, I thought, and that was
pretty We had some fun times. I thought, you guys
should tell me what went on either during the Super
Bowls or at the ring ceremony. Things I didn't know
about that was going on in my backyard.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, mister RKK, just don't go to the guest house
after Uncle Snoop and I were there. That smell is
nothing from anything we were doing.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I pleaded the fifth on that one, Jorge Pleada fifth,
Cleta fith and then lastly, before we get into determine
what kind of dude you are, RKK.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
We keep on hearing about this Tom Brady statue. I
think that we should just hire Gronk to beat the
scope of that statue and have him do the statue.
I think that would be unbelievable. Everyone would remember that
he's a statue. We want to talk about the statut to.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Be It's a wonderful suggestion, except we made the statue
last year and Tommy started broadcasting and we couldn't get
him up, so we haven't coming August eighth. And actually
I would love, since I saw your artistic work with
the trophy, if you did it, but we had the
(15:33):
privilege of spending seven figures to get We have the trophy,
I mean the statue in storage in Foxbro. We wanted
to present it last year. We're gonna unveil it. I
believe it's August eighth, August first preseason game against Washington.
(15:55):
You'll see it. It's unbelievable. He's not a bad looking guy.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
He's pretty handsome.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
How's that jaw line looking on the statue? It nice
and sharp?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Is it twenty two year old jaw line? Or is
it forty five year old jaw line?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It's Tommy one hundred percent, just making sure he is
you guys know, and the general public doesn't know. Besides
being a vicious competitor and an awesome player, he's got.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
A heart of goal, he does and one of.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
The finest human beings I've ever met in my life.
So for us to have a permanent statue of him
there for our fans, think about it. The greatest player
in the history of the game over one hundred years
was the one hundred and ninety ninth pick, a com
(16:46):
pick in the sixth round. So all these great analysts
for Draft Day missed it, and we lucked out and
got him.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And that's what makes the NFL so great. It's because
everyone has as a shot, everyone has hope. There's countless
stories of sixth round, seventh round, undrafted worst teams coming
back to win. The parody is the best, and that's
why the NFL is king. Should we get into the questions.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Let's get into it.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
What kind of dude do you think mister Kraft is?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
So the first question to determine what type of dude
our KK is with the Dude Questionnaire formula, you ready.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
To go our These are a series of questions that
we came up with certified answer quick you are quick questions,
nothing big. We'll take a couple of notes. We'll have
a couple all right here and there and maybe a
follow up or two.
Speaker 3 (17:38):

Speaker 3 (21:34):
I'm not sure if you ever ran a forty yard dash,
but if you have, what was your forty time back
in the day forty time, I.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Wouldn't be being truthful, I had okay speed, Like when
I played, I could get through the line and go
down the field fifteen to twenty years, fifteen to twenty yards,
but then the catch me.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Okay, quicker than fast, changing direction, more of a three
cone guy. I'll put that in the no school, thank you, Julian.
More quicker than fast, change direction, very similar, And if you're.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Quicker than fast, that's actually better in the NFL, as.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Turns better to me. Both.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, it's best to have both, but I would choose
to be quicker than fast.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Create separation.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I feel like that.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Skill set you know to you know makes you a
better player because of separation, because football is all about separation.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Separating through the line, getting through I could do.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
That and go fifteen to twenty thirty yards, but they'd
always catch me.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Now, RKK, you played high school football.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You didn't Did you play any sports in high school?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Aircraft you know that Nike makes mine? Oh yeah, yeah.
The CEO of Nike twelve years ago saw me wearing
air Force ones. I introduced them at an event in Boston,
a financial meeting, and he said, why don't we make
(23:39):
you your own line? And these generated a half million
dollars that go to charities in the Boston area, And
every year Nike makes me a special air Force one.
One good.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
He's always swagging. He went from the white collar. I
remember the transition blue shirt, white collar, but that that

mister craft went up. You started wearing the Aircraft one,
the jean T shirt, you were going T shirt and

start eating some meat. So I love a good medium
rare steak.

do shit, so we we know we can do it.
We saw him do it in college. We saw him
