Speaker 1 (00:00):
And all of a sudden, how he came in, didn't
say a word, pulled out a tin, put it right
on my thing, put one finger and just slid it
to me and give me a head nod and just
walked by. That was the first interaction I ever had
with him, and it couldn't have been anymore. How we
love Welcome to Dudes on Dudes, that's wrong and.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's the flying squirrel Jules.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Hey, this is the show. We're your favorite dudes heat
to talk about their favorite dude. And boy do we.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Have some dudes for you today? We got what the
hell do we got today? I'm a little biased, so
I'm gonna go with a tight end. First off, we
got George Kettle.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I bet you he has a come out to the
weight room song when he goes into the weight room,
like he probably puts on one song like a wrestling song.
Who's Next?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Rob Richard Sherman Legion a boom guy.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
That AFC Championship game where he tipped it from Crabtree
in last like thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
One of the most impressive plays I've ever seen cornerback man.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That was for go to the souper and then who
do we cap it off with I want to go
back in history rock Howie Long.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Wosh gentlemen, I think our dads got so turned on
from Howie Long's hits.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
They made us, we were created. I can't wait. We'll
break down their games and share some insiders stories and
determine what kind of dude each of these dudes really are.
Let's get into it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Let's help.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Let's go Dudes on Dudes is a production of iHeartRadio.
Let's Get on George Kittle, Rob, What do you got?
What's AI saying?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Let's see what AI has today for me? George Kittle,
Here we go AI. George Kittle is known for being
an exceptional tight end with a combination of dynamic receiving
skills and strong blocking ability. He excels in both the
passing game and the run game, using his athleticism, speed,
and physicality to make plays and create opportunities. Kittle is
(01:55):
also recognized for his toughness and versatility, making him a
key weapon in the San Francisco forty nine ers offense.
I agree his ability to gain yards after the catch
and his effectiveness as a blocker make him one of
the most well rounded and impactful tight ends in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Let's start the clock. We already should have. We're two
minutes in. Yeah, dude, Kittle, he's like the first of
this whole Iowa fucking craze tight ends. He mose was
in there, not necessarily.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm gonna kind of throw myself into that category.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You want to know why you and Iowa?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
No, I didn't go to Iowa, but you want to
know why my first two years in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, my tight end coach.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Who was Brian Farreens.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Bryan Farrens offensive courts for the Iowa Hawk Guys. I
remember Brian Farrens. He'd always put you up on that board.
He was a fun coach.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I love Brian Farrence. I'll still remember to this day
some of the lessons he taught me. And first off,
he taught me how to block. He's the one who
helped make me the blocker of who I was in
the NFL, which is very much exactly and that's why
kill is an all around tight end because they emphasize
blocking first, no doubt about it. And on top of it,
Brian Farrens many times always told me just keep being you, man,
(03:08):
You're an awesome guy. Keep being you it's gonna get you
the places that you would never imagine. So thank you
Coach Farance. I'll still remember that to this day. What
I loved about Coach Farns he says, when you're nervous,
you're ready. And I was nervous coming into this podcast world,
and I thought about him again. I thought about him
every single game I had, and I was nervous. You're nervous,
You're ready. Thank you, Coach Farence.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Do you know what? And it's crazy what Coach Farence
basically said to you is probably everything that like Kittle
is kind of shoots out on the field, you know,
selfless guy, be yourself. Which he's a very charismatic dude
when you think of like he's a funny dude. He's
the guy who started tight End You, which is this
huge event which you get to go to all the time.
(03:51):
Like he's a character not just off the field, but
he's got that fun like little kid like rob kind
of energy, like gronk energy when he's playing, because you
guys both like when you guys both play, it looks
like you guys are having the funnest time ever. You know,
like you guys like blocking he loves blocking. Kittle gets
(04:11):
open a lot because of how hard he blocks.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's the truth, man, And if you're a good blocker
in the NFL at the tight end position, you're gonna
be able to get those easy passes thrown your way.
Like that's the reward for blocking in the NFL is
the play action passes when the linebackers step up, the
quarterbackers dumps it to you after the fake handoff to
the running back and boom you catch it, you know,
eight yards down the field and boom. Then you just
(04:34):
make the safety miss. You can have a twenty yard
game off of a little play action pass and just
keep the chains moving. Well, here's the question. Miami University
was tight end you back in the day when I
was high school, that had freaking Greg Olsen, Jeremy Shahi,
Kellen Winslow, Winslow Junior.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm a soldier.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, I'm a solder, Jah. And he's like that because
I know why he said it, because they absolutely leveled
like five guys on one play. Yeah, And then they
asked him about that play and then he goes, I'm
a soldier. He's not taking any shit. He's in war.
But they had a couple other guys as well that
was going to a league that they were sunning. The
backups were getting drafted. Greg Olsen, Greg Olsen, I said, Greg.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Olsen, you know what, they never forget Greg, You can't.
But that was the tight end you when we were
growing up. That was tight end you. Now really has
to be Iowa and it's because of the start of this,
this whole thing with Kittle, I mean Kettle fifth round
draft pick, which makes it even more impressive. He's a
fifth round guy. He wasn't the biggest dude, he wasn't
(05:37):
the strongest dude, but he always fucking blocks his nuts off.
He's willing to give his body up. He makes big
time plays for his team when they needed on a
crucial third down. He makes red area blocks where he's
taking his fucking defensive end and driving him in the
end zone. Like he's the guy that you always want
to play with. He's that that's that's the kind of
and he's always fun. You could tell he's positive and
(05:59):
he comes from like a lore of family from Iowa, Like.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
What do you what do you mean, Jules? You can
tell he is positive, Like that's just a well known
fact that he is a positive guy. Whenever you're around
George Kittle, like your aura just lifts up. He's just
always looking for the best thing out of anything that happens,
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, he's very optistic. He's like optimistic, positive thinker, you know.
And and honestly, that's the kind of vibes that you
you you gave off when we were in the locker room.
It's there's guys that are hard. Ohs, there's guys that
are asshole. Like I was a guy that was like
I had to be in a certain mindset to asshole. Yeah,
I had to be an asshole, not an asshole, but
like I.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But you weren't. You weren't an asshole, but you were like.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Okay, I made it. I made guys a heart. I
was hard, No, but you weren't.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
That just a tad bit because you were, like you said,
you were making them accountable. And that's what the technique
you used to make them account.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And that's because I worked so hard and it took
me a long place to get to where I got,
so like that's what I was.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Like.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Then there was guys like Kiddle and yourself that, like
you guys worked insanely hard. You do great in the classroom,
but you do it with like a smile in your
face and you're always happy. Like there's different guys in
the locker room and you. And that's what I feel
when I think of like George Kittle, that guy is
just like a positive, great dude to have around, especially
with you know, their locker room. They got so many
(07:17):
different charismatics characters there, like it's it's just a great piece.
I think he's a freaking baller.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And going back to Iowa and about and being tight
end you they also had TJ. Hockinson come out of
Iowa highest paid tight ends in the game. Noah fan
Font how do you say his last name? Faint? I
don't know, fine, Noah Font Seattle. Yes, yes, he's a
great player. He's huge man, that dude's huge hole. You
(07:44):
got Sam Laporta, the best rookie last year, went to
the Pro Bowls over eight hundred yards. I'm sure he's
gonna have over a thousand yards on ten plus tds
this year as well. Give the University of Iowa for
this decade, you know, to be known as tight end you.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
For sure sure. The story about his dad writing letters
before every game that's pretty hard hitting. Did your pops
ever write you anything?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No, my pops never wrote me anything like that. But
he always motivated me, especially growing up. He always told me, Hey,
if you want to be better than everyone else, if
you want to get to the next level, you got
to outwork everyone. And my dad's been selling fitness equipment
for over thirty years now. So you put a weight
room in the basement and said, hey, hey, you want
to make it to the pros. Buddy, you want to
make it. You want to be able to dunk, you
(08:29):
want to be able to block, you want to be
able to toss guys around. Well, get your ass in
the weight room and get stronger. Now, you know, he
wasn't a hard ass about it, but he always a
lot us that way. Hey, get in the basement. Now
you want to be strong, Get in the basement. You
want to whoop some ass, Get in the basement.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
That you got to have that he's got that same.
You know, it may be different because he's getting letters
and you're eating weights, you know it's still that dad
kind of love like I had mine, in a different way.
You always know and hear about him and his relationship
with his family, like just a fun dude off off
off the field too. He has a fun You ever
hung out.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
With him, I've only hung out with him at tight
End You, and I just met him a couple other times,
just really quick and he's always fun, just so positive.
And what I love about him though, is that we
are very similar.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That's for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
We have similar game. He's an all around tight end
and he's the best all around tight end in the
game right now, yes, bloger, Yes, in the receiving game.
What I really love about him is he's a w
w E fan bro and he's an ultimate WWE fan.
Pretty sure. He's done a couple of things with WWE.
(09:37):
I think with WrestleMania. I think his favorite wrestler is
like Luca Hannah Luka Hanas. He has that vibe to
go into wrestling after he's done playing. He'd always be
cutting w w E promos. He's always a b I mean,
he's got great energy. I mean, in order to start
National tight End Day, he started tight End You while playing.
(10:01):
He's got a lot of juice and that's why people
love him. That's why his teammates love him. I mean,
I'm sure how many guys do you think he has
picked up on his team that are down. Yeah, I
don't feel like playing right there. He is, He's there
every day. Hey guys, let's go, let's go let's have fun.
Let's go make some plays, let's go cut some balls,
let's go do this, let's go do that. You know,
it's just Auras to pick guys up around him. That's
a guy you want in your locker room. That's a
(10:23):
guy you want on your team, especially at the tight
end position, the best position in the game. I mean
not bias, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I mean he was a standout on the TV show Receiver.
I mean that's how big of an oor he has
for a tight end like he would under receiver and
pretty much dominated that show. Not saying like statistically this that,
but like his story was like so fun watching on
him and his family, and he's got a crazy sneaker collection.
He's a monster.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
He has a monster, and it's just he's like a
guy that you want to work out with when you're
working out. Sometimes you go into the workout and you're like,
I got to work out. He's like James devilin in
the way, Yeah he is. But then you just start
working out him and boom on the switch is switched
and he just Wow, it's like turning the lights on
you just when you're around him, you hit that switch
up and boom, the lights are on.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I bet you he hasn't come out to the weight
room song when he goes into the weight room, like
he probably puts on one song, like a wrestling song,
like a like a stone cold.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Like.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's how I bet he starts his fucking workout because
he's so like that.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
What I don't like about him, though, is he broke
my receiving record. Well, Travis Kelsey did too that year,
but George Kittle broke.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
My receiver Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I had thirteen hundred and twenty seven yards that one year,
and uh yeah he broke that. And plus he had
a two hundred plus yard game, which is incredible as
a tight end on two hundred plus yards.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But that's ten minutes we got to determine.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh my gosh, absolute monster.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So where do we put him then? What kind of
dude is he? What kind of dude? Is a freak,
a dog, a whiz or a dude's dude. I mean
he's kind of a dude's dude. I think so he's
a stud like, he so positive, like people don't for.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
You understand either. He's a freak bro. This guy is
so strong pound for pound, he might be the strongest
guy on the team.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And he's got that weird leverage like.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That lifts like five hundred plus pounds. From what I hear,
I never worked out with him, but he's mentally he's
got dog in him. But I'm leaning towards dudes. Dude,
he is a dude's dude.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I gotta go with that, because he's a locker room guy,
locker room positive energy, come cool collect always.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I've never seen a bad micd up on him. No,
I never have. Man, I gotta yelled at referees and
I've sworen like he's just like always, like.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I actually envy his energy.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I want his energy.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh wait, time out. Wow, we forgot his picture as well, Jewels.
I blame that on you. I blame that on you, Jewels,
because you were the veteran with the pictures on the
very first show, and that was my first time I
needed to be reminded.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The picture is so you forgot. But there he is.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Everyone there he is. That picture just exemplifies and that
explains him totally tongue out, having a good old time
smiling with his tongue out.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You know how You know that.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
That's all Greasy hasn't showered in a week, just has
dudes all over him from the last Practiceaggy sneaker.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh man, George Kittle, he's a Dude's dude, he's a dude.
He is just on the field.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Off the field. Let's get into our next dude. We'll
be right back after this quick break.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
All right, who's the next dude?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You have your little AI already? This guy hold on.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Jules girlfriend's text me. You know I got to answer.
I want to be a good dude. Okay, he's a
good dude. I'm a good dude.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Come, I said, hello.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, guess what she's doing? What?
So it's a ten year anniversary for the super Bowl
that we won versus Seattle.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
And you know who we're doing right now?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Now? Oh my gosh, who are we doing next?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
We're doing Seattle?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And guess what. Camille just texted me. She's literally crying
right now while practicing because she misses dance so much.
Because they're bringing back to cheerleaders do a halftime dance
routine that they did at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yes, yes, Sorry, Richard Sherman, You're not a back to
back champ because of us? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Are you mad about it? Is he mad? Mad?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He's not mad? Is he bro about? Our guy? Ellen?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Iverson? Smart man? He can just read a freaking everything
on the Internet in a matter of ten seconds. I
always knew AI was the best.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Of all time. He's the answer.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
He is the answer.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Let's get on Richard Sherman.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Wow, he was so good that he covers this whole page.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
He does.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Richard Sherman is known for being a highly skilled and
physical cornerback. Renowned they used this word too much in AI.
Renowned for his exceptional coverage skills, intelligence, and ability to
rea he plays. Sherman was a key figure in the
Seattle Seahawks lesion of Boom Defense. His lanthy frame and
aggressive playing style made him a formidable opponent and both
(15:11):
Manda Man and Zone coverage right formidable jewels for dudes.
On dudes, I mean, if I say something wrong, correct me.
That's what freaking good, dudes, I know that's what friends. Dude, Okay, I.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Don't know, I don't know how to read either Sherman's leadership,
trash talking trash talk. He definitely tried, he met him.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And ability to make crucial plays and high pressure situations contributed.
Yes he did. We're just watching his highlight film. Man,
I forget how good he was. You for ball skill,
let me finish. Always just cutting me off to make
crucial plays and high pressure situations contributed to his reputation
as one of the top cornerbacks of his era.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I agree with I agree with a I Richard Sherman.
We would like we watched the highlights before we this,
and you forgot how many great plays he made because
that cast of characters, the Legion of bhom he was
a part of it, and there were so many good guys.
But then we watched those highlights. His ball skills. He
(16:14):
used to run routes for the receiver because he was
so smart, like he's situationally one of the most intelligent corners.
You could never throw a downfield ball against him. Like
that was like what I always remember. He always he
was a gambler because he'd always have those eyes in
the backfield, like he was one of those original guys
where he'd play off and have his eyes in the
(16:35):
backfield and then he'd break on the guy like Richard,
and then he'd always have the hands like he had
unbelievable ball skills in order to finish the plays. You know,
he just was a freaking stud and he used to hit.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What do you think I would if I, if I
was a young cornerback, I would give Richard Sherman a
call and ask him where he learned those ball skills.
How was he tracked down a ball like that and
make it, you know, and have an interception and make
it look easier than a wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, he was a receiver in Stanford.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Well that answers my question. All you cornerbacks out there,
they need to do more ball drill, Baldrew, I say
all the time. There would be literally like two or
three more interceptions per game if these cornerbacks knew how
to catch the ball. And Richard Sherman knew how to
catch the ball, and that's why he made so many plays,
and that's why he led the league in interceptions some years.
(17:28):
So what year was that again? He definitely led the
league right, twenty thirteen. Yes, they won the Super Bowl
that year. Yeah, they did, and that's part of the
reason why they won the Super Bowl was he was
a literal genius of the game because he played wide
receiver in college. He went to Stanford University, so obviously
he's smart.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Smart guy.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You gotta be a smart guy to go to Stamford
and all my friends that went to Stanford pac Pac
ten guy as well. So I shout out to the
Pac ten four point two gpa in high school? Four
point two gpa? Who is he cheating off? Come on
four point two? I thought it only goes up to
four point Oh how do you get a four point two?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I think there's advanced classes that count as a five
point zero?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Makes no sense, I agree. I never knew about those ones.
Advanced classes.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Wasn't there either, rub I was.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's why we have a podcast, and that's why that is.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Why would you beat him in a math competition?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I would I'm that good at math. Come on, give
me a math problem right now?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Forty six times twenty?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh my gosh, a nine one hundred and twenty yep.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
He would still be thinking, mich Is Sherman would still
be thinking.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I don't he'd be talking shit.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You'd be talking ship where I would have probably been
thrown off my game and then he would, Yeah he would.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
That's how smart he is, where he would have talked
shit and been able to calculate, multitask and then do
it like that's kind of guy was. I mean, we
played against from the super Bowl and we we jawed
back and forth, and it's it's out of fun competition,
but you knew, like when you were stepping in the
in a game with Richard Sherman, you knew if you
were gonna be lazy or if your route wasn't there,
(18:58):
he was going to cover you and he was going
to let you know that he covered you. Those are
the fun guys. He was a freaking monster. Like you
watch just the interceptions he made his high pointing of
ball skills that AFC Championship game where he tipped it
from crabtree and like the last like thirty seconds or
twenty three seconds, thirty.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Two the most impressive plays I've ever seen a cornerback.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Make in a high pressure situation when that was the
game that was for to go to the super Bowl,
that was to go to the Super Bowl. He had
a lot of those.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And what made him so great made him stand out
from any other cornerback was his height and his length.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
He was six y four.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
He was kind of like Randy Moss, but as a cornerback.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You know, and he had good hands, like to combat
rightball skills, but like to combat the quick guys to
get him running side and side because he was so
you know, he's long, and that's how you got to
get those kind of corners. You got to make him
running side to side. He had such long, great arms
where he could play at Atlanta of scrimmage. He'd win
at the Lant of scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
He had football IQ. What about his physicality? Was there
a play I remember just watching, think does Bryant broke
off for a like a fifty yard fifty yard he
was about to score? And I'm pretty sure it was
does Bryant? Uh yeah, and uh he was in back
of the end zone, you know, guarding his guy. You know,
man manned them up. That's why the ball went as Brian.
They should have had him on does all game. Actually
(20:17):
he came out the back of the end zone off
of his guy and literally does Bryant with one yard
away from scoring? Richard Sherman came out of nowhere and
just laid the hit stick and made him fumble right
on the one yard line. That just showed how physical
and how much he just laid his body out on
the line for the for the team, and also.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Not to quit on a play like the play could
have been over he does. Bryant could have easily just
gone in. He and Richard said, you know, technically he
won his play. His guy was guarded, his guy didn't
catch the ball, but to come off his plaster and
to make the hit at the end of goal lines.
It was like that's you saw those plays all the
time with Richard Sherman. He never gave up on plays.
(20:57):
He was smarter than you, he was longer than you,
and he could talk better than you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And he had leadership like he was always vocal, very vocal.
But the thing is he backed it up every single time.
He always said he's the best corner in the game,
which he was throughout that era, but he backed it up.
And that's what over read, that's what you uh reeve
was a little bit before him. He was like right
at the end of Revis era, Revis Island. Yeah, so
(21:22):
Revis was was in his own category. And then it
was Richard Sherman. Two totally different players, two totally different
skill sets. But hey, Jules, you remember when you trolled
troll them Sherman. Yeah, explain what happened, why you did it?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
The parade after we played him in fourteen we won,
someone threw up a sign of like with the face
after the interception, and you know, you're just playing up
to the parade, having fun. I fucking threw it. I
was hammered, like it was all funny games until someone
gets hurt.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
But no one got hurt. No one got and you
were hammered, So that's an excuse. So it was a
parade and anything goes. We just beat him in the
Super Bowl. And Richard Sherman loves talking crap, but he
can take it as well, and I.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Think he can.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I know the guy now personally.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I've talked to him a few times through Chris and
Thompson because he does all the Amazon and he's always
been a really cool day.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
He's doing a great job as an analysis.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I think so too. He's really good, a.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Lot of insight to the game, especially at the corner position.
He's not scared to be himself.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
He's never, never, never, never has been. And it was
his career, you know, and just with the guy like him,
like you had to play hard the whole game. If
you turn it off, he would smother you. He'd make that.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Bad peck if he if he saw Tom just slack
a little bit in the pocket, he would be able
to read him just like that.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Because he played his eyes in the backfield like he
liked to play off that Seattle six where it was
like it was like a match zone, so he could
play off and he would see he would read the
quarterbacks and he'd come sloop on those seams and come
steal them last piece. Though.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I played with Richard Sherman my final year with the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unfortunately he you know, he was an
end of his career. He was a little washed like myself.
He showed up. We had like eight corners down. We
gave him a call. He showed up, and I'm so
glad he did, man, And I finally, you know, got
to meet him in person and talked to him. He
pulled his hamstring. I remember I had broken ribs. So
(23:15):
we were reminiscing together about facing each other. And what
a great guy he was, man, great leader. Great guy
to have in the locker room, that's for sure. He's
got tons of positive energy.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
He's a guy you love on your team, but you
hate him exactly. I love he wasn't even playing.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
He went on the IR and every time I walked
in the locker room, like I love Sherminators on our team.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
That's how great he was. Man.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
He just always chopping it up and always being a character.
I love the guy whenever I see him too. Great dude,
ten minutes, ten minutes. What kind of dude is Richard? Dude?
I mean he was. He was freaky. He was like
a Randy boss. Is he a stud dog? WHI He's
kind of everything man, because he went to Stanford, so
he's a whiz. He was a dog with those hits
(23:59):
as well.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Because he I think he hits that whiz category because
his intellect was second to none, like him and Revis
are in that same category where they could run routes.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, he was kind of a dog though too.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He was a dog because he was relentless and motivated
always physically. He talked to you.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I kind of want to go with Wiz though, just
because he went to Stanford.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
He went to Stanford. He was clutched. The whiz is
always clutch dude. The wiz is someone who innovates. They
changed the position. The position used to be a guy
that was probably no bigger than six foot six foot one.
I mean those were huge corners back before him. He
was six foot four. He evolved the position, especially in
that Seattle system he had him and Browner. They love
(24:43):
those tall corners and he's a huge part of that.
Which that's how you take away those big receivers on
the outside. You put a big guy like Sherman on
him and they let him battle.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And that's why the Legion of Boom was such a
great defense as well. I would say that he was
the leader of Legion of Boom as over Chancellor. Yeah, answer,
Chancellor was the guy that laid the smack down. He
smacked I think you know, he was the wizard of
the Legion of Boom. Same with Earl Thomas. He was
a rocket, a torpedo. He laid the smacked and he
(25:13):
laid the smack down on me a few times. But
Richard Sherman was the wizard. I feel like he got
that you know, secondary imposition, and also why he had
so many interceptions, and why he was such a great
corner is because he knew how to play the game
of football in zone coverage and man coverage. Because he
was so freaking smart.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Wiz.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
He is a whiz. He's a whiz kid. Oh my gosh,
I didn't wear any of my merch jewels. Oh my gosh,
Oh my gosh, I wanted to wear this Buccaneers hat man.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Too.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
See, dudes forget a lot of things. Man, That's why
we always love to have a bro next to each
other to remind each other. And we forgot the picture
as well once again, So get his picture up here.
Oh my god here. Oh I thought that was I
thought that was George Kittle. Still all right, all right,
ms up there. See dudes on dudes, man, I.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Think, dude, I think I think defens.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Just browing out too much forgetting things.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Don't you think defensive guys with dreads are like does
that not?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Like?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
That looks like the predator to me, man, like they're
search and destroy the intimidated timidation. It never intimidated me.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
But I'm always I'm sure jewels are never intimidated.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
You.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
You're bringing it up, you're bringing.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It up, but it always, always, I always thought it
looked fucking sick.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It does look sick. You look good, you.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Look gone to our next guy.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
He's got some skinny legs. I think that's what made
him so athletic, because people with skinny legs, those corners,
they're just so fast and they never get tired. That's
why I always got tired and was like, no, Jewels,
you run this route like the ball's going to my legs, Like,
way too thick.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
He would do that, by the way, man, I would
take it like.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
As a bro, you know, as a friendly How am
I looking? You're looking Jack, like I worked out this
morning for this episode down.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But you never know Jack, you know how Camille never
not dancing, Never not Jack.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Look at that baby, shall show you a six pack?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Round good, good, Put your dong away.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's a dude, God, look at that baby.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
You still got it, dude.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I'm just being a dude.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Okay, that's all. Sit down, you big old dude trying
to be like Dola. Dola is ripped, man. Dola's like
Patrick Swayze right now and dancing the stars. Let's go
vote for you. Yeah, he probably cut her. Ah, he's
cut her. Let's get onto our next concess. Who is
our next guy? Absolute legend, absolute legend, will start the
(27:45):
clock in five seconds after I say who he is.
He's just a man's man, our new teammates, someone that
we've all looked at.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Right, He's not a dude. He's a man.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
You can't call him dude. So this is this is
dude's on man? How he long?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
How we long?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
How he long is? How he long? Ai?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
How Long has a huge slong?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Oh? What the heck? What the heck? Hey?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I inappropriate? Inappropriate? How Long would be like, geez geez,
you guys are just characters? He would guys, Yeah, you
guys are just characters. Always just you know, he.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Always he always says, just keep being you. But he
would love that line.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
He would, he would, he would, even if he has
a small one, he would be like, thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, I don't know if he does. You don't got
last a hammer? Yeah? Yeah? How he long? Talk about
your face?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
He produced two huge NFL sons.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Huge huge like first round o Lineman, first round, first
top ten pick, Chris Long D I mean Kyle long O.
I'man Kyle Long played baseball? Is he a fucking They
just have champion. They have champions sperm all right, let
me get to they have champions. He does have championship.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
How we Long was a dominant defensive ent in the NFL,
known for his powerful pass rushing ability and strong run defense.
He played primarily for the Oakland Raiders. Who is the
second team? I thought he was an Oakland Raider.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
La Raiders.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Wait then that's still the same team. Yeah, that's really weird.
Ai not there in two different cities. He might as
well have played for the freaking Las Vegas Raiders at
this point.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I mean he associated with them. He could still he
looks like.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
He should be the Raiders owner. Not Tom, just kidding, Tom.
We need you as the Raiders owner because then you'll
be like really rich, and then you can get a
yacht and Julie and I can come on it.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, and then you can give us like cushy like
scouting jobs, like a million dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You Tom, How he's not the owner. You're of the owner. Tom.
We need you, buddy, We hang we hang out with
you more so we need you to be the owner
and maybe if we need a job in the future.
That's what dudes and dudes do. If you're bro, you
like one. Dude always gives a job to their like bro.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
That's called that's guy. That's a triple D. That's called
daydreaming duty. All Right, dude, daydream We're back, right, We're
You're back where.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
He earned eight Pro Bowl selections and was named to
the NFL's All Decade Team of the nineteen eight eighties
eighties decade. When I was born in eighty nine, so
eighty six, Wow, he probably sacked a guy and got
our mother's pregnant from such a big hit.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
That was awful, awful take. But knowing how he probably not.
How are you stand up? Guy?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yeah, knowing how, you're right and you end up going
he goes, Yeah. They they just our parents just got
so just turned down from his sack, from his sack
in the eighties, that that's why.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
We were born. It's a bone crushing sack.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, because my dad's a big fan.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
My dad is not a fantom.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I think I think our parents, our dads got so
turned on from how he Long's hits that they made us,
we were created, They made us.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Very well could be This is when how he was bawling.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Long was known for his athleticism, intensity, and versatility, which
allowed him to excel both in rushing the passer defending
against the run. His impact on the game and his
leadership on and off the field solidified his reputation as
one of the premier defensive players.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Of his era. I mean, we threw on the highlights.
He's just nasty. He's like the guy you send in.
He's like a bomb squad guy. You know, you send
how he is, but he doesn't wear armor. He just
goes in and does it with his teeth, you know,
like you send him in there and he'll do it
like some shit that no one wants to do. He'll
(32:02):
get the job done. He's so intense. He was like
and you could see it when he played. He so powerful.
He knew the game of football. He was a really
smart football player. He looked the part of a raider
with the bull ring. He was like one of the
original dudes that wore the bull ring. Like that was
like hard nos. Any kid in Pop Warner when I
was a kid that wore a bull ring was like
(32:24):
that did eat cement and that's what fucking how he
I think I literally saw him at Fox once in
between games that you guys were doing. I saw him
take a teaspoon of cement when he with his coffee.
Like that's how manly he is.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
This guy. If you're going in a back alley and
you're about to brawl, you're about to take on ten
other mother efforts. Yeah, and you're by yourself and you
had to choose one other guy to go in that
back alley, you bring how we along with you and
then guess what, you would just sit back because he
would take on all ton of those guys and fucking
(32:58):
whoop all their ascides.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah for you. But then I think afterwards he would
sit them down and tell him where they they need
to work on their fighting skills, and like he would
sit there after, like you know, giving him like a
rag for the nose that he just broke from some dude.
Like he would sit there and he'd be like, yeah, buddy,
like yeah, you gotta be smarter than that. You can't
go against you know, while like looking at his surroundings.
(33:22):
I remember the first day I met him on on
on Fox. You know, he saw we had a dinner
like the friday before and it's my first show and
I'm a little nervous and so I had a dip
in at the dinner, and I thought no one saw
I had a little baby dip in. Two days later,
we had our first live show, and how he was
in there, and we had a production meeting where we
were with the big show, the other show, and all
(33:43):
of a sudden, how he came in, didn't say a word,
pulled out a tin, put it right on my thing,
put one finger and just slid it to me and
give me a head nod and just walked by. That
was the first interaction I ever had with him, and
it couldn't have been anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
How he longed he might be one of the greatest
guys I've ever met. And I don't think it's talked
about enough, is that he might be the best role
model you know out there in NFL history. I mean
the guys out there. The guy's been through it all.
He grew up in Charlestown, Massachusetts. He's an orphan, yes,
so you know he's orphan. He's like he's like the movies.
(34:20):
He's got that you know, that Boston hardo in him.
He takes no ship at all. But let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Then he goes to Philly at Phillanova yeah, and gets
a little that more East Coast asse asshole, no thiss.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
All American man. He has great kids, great kids. They
grew up to be first round NFL players. Do you
remember Chris I remember Chris Man, great guy. Loved him
in the locker.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Room, loved him in the locker room. He's always be
holding court in his little section with Nikovich, like him
and like him, and Ninko would be sitting there. Nico
would just be sitting there like marveling at Chris because
Chris was like so paid and had a sleeve and
he was a white dude that had swag. Nico would
just do anything. You remember the.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Chris Long did he?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
He was Chris Long's shadowy thing because he like by
that age, you know. Nko has been like institutionalized by
the Patriots, where like any outsider, he's like, oh my god,
this is what it's like.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
If you had a problem or situation in life and
you need an answer, you would hit up how he Long.
The guy has been through everything from A through Z
in life. Just a great role model overall, very positive guy.
When it comes to crunch time, he's right there on
your side. Has taken me under his wing at Fox.
(35:34):
His knowledge for the game of football is through the roof.
If you have any questions, he's there to give you answers.
And then he doesn't care if you give him the
credit or not.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
And he's fucking great looking. To look at how the
freaking same du he did when he was playing. I
want to say he's got top top three chins all time,
top three chins cowards one coach coward, Howie Brady. He's
got a nice chin, but like this is like man
like Brady's like pretty chin. I never looked at this,
(36:05):
just like this is like when you used to draw
up like old I never looked at heroes. I never
looked that nineties you know how they they were just
big grown men with huge chin, like the car.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I don't look at chins, look at the like that's
just a man. Yeah that's a mansion. You're right.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
And he had the best flat top ever. He still
has it.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
What about that neck role that he played with that
does that neck roll make you more bad ass? It
kind of reminds It reminds me of James Devlin, like
he was more badass when he had the neck roll.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
On neck rolls definitely give you two points on hard asses,
two points for sure. Who else do we have? Eric
Dickerson had a good chin the Alchim Team.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
No, not the not the not the chin, he had
the neck roll. What about Brian Bosswork? What about his
neck role?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
That was pretty bad as Tom Rathman.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
What about Mike Alstott ultimate neck role, ultimate player?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
What about Kent State Go and Flash Jack Lambert. Oh,
I think he's a bunker guy. I think he's in
a bud.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I don't even know what Kent State. No.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I've tried to get in Calle. They call it. Some
would call it the Harvard of the Midwest. I don't
know if you ever heard of it. But yeah, neckrolls
how he long, he's a huge part of that. Like
old school guy that had neckroll, made you look tough.
And he's Hollywood. He's been in movies, like his story
(37:25):
about like he stopped doing movies because it just was
too much. He told me that. He's like, yeah, you
know I had to get I had just needed more
time with my family. They kept on sending me scripts.
I was like, man, how he's so cool. He's like
fuck the movie, fuck that.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
He's a great family man and That's why I said,
if you have any questions about life, you ask how
we long? And he has the right answer every time.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
He really does in any situation. What kind of dude
is how he long?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Well, he's a loyal dude as well. I mean he's
the first one. He started the Fox gig with Terry
Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson. He's been there for third one
years now. Yeah, Yeah, the Fox pregame show. And it's
just an honor to be just to be a part
of it, yeah, a little ounce of it, just to
be with those guys. I mean, it's what they have done.
(38:12):
They transcended post career after NFL.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
They've given an example of how if you want to
get into this industry, how how you got to do it?
You know it with not just they're on camera chemistry,
but the way they freaking prepare. I get to be
a fly on the wall watching them in between shows,
watching you get ready, and those guys are just he's
just a stud and exactly what I just said. He's
(38:39):
a stud. He's a freak. Yes, he's a freak of nature.
He's got the dog in him. He's definitely a dude's
he is a dude's dude.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
But when locker room guy is a wizard as well.
I mean it literally is all five categories. And that's
why he's so successful.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And what do they do with the Kentucky Derby racehorse? Come?
What do they do? What do they call him out?
They stud him out, stut him out. That's what fucking
how he Long is. He's a stud like he when
you look at a racehorse.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
And it was a proven stud too, because he produced
two first rounders to.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
First rounders, like when you look at a stud a horse.
How he's the human version of a racehorse.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
A I even knew he had a huge song. Did
you hear me read it at the beginning, Howie Long
has a huge long?
Speaker 1 (39:24):
They didn't really say that, Yeah, really said that. That's crazy.
I think he can. I think he literally could probably
win the Kentucky Derby. He could because that's how manly
of a man he is.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
When you call his son and trosk him on the phone, Chris,
what did he say about?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Chris said, he's a fucking stud.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
So he's a stud stud, no doubt about a stamp
it stud.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Stamp stud our first stud Tony Gonzalez was Tony a
stud too, Yeah, different type of stud.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Different stud.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
This was like a badass stud, like a smooth stud.
Yeah yeah, but but both studs. We'll be right back

And all of a sudden, how he came in, didn't
say a word, pulled out a tin, put it right
on my thing, put one finger and just slid it
to me and give me a head nod and just
walked by. That was the first interaction I ever had
with him, and it couldn't have been anymore. How we
love Welcome to Dudes on Dudes, that's wrong and.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's the flying squirrel Jules.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Hey, this is the show. We're your favorite dudes heat
to talk about their favorite dude. And boy do we.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Have some dudes for you today? We got what the
hell do we got today? I'm a little biased, so
I'm gonna go with a tight end. First off, we
got George Kettle.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I bet you he has a come out to the
weight room song when he goes into the weight room,
like he probably puts on one song like a wrestling song.
Who's Next?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Rob Richard Sherman Legion a boom guy.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
That AFC Championship game where he tipped it from Crabtree
in last like thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
One of the most impressive plays I've ever seen cornerback man.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That was for go to the souper and then who
do we cap it off with I want to go
back in history rock Howie Long.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Wosh gentlemen, I think our dads got so turned on
from Howie Long's hits.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
They made us, we were created. I can't wait. We'll
break down their games and share some insiders stories and
determine what kind of dude each of these dudes really are.
Let's get into it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Let's help.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Let's go Dudes on Dudes is a production of iHeartRadio.
Let's Get on George Kittle, Rob, What do you got?
What's AI saying?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Let's see what AI has today for me? George Kittle,
Here we go AI. George Kittle is known for being
an exceptional tight end with a combination of dynamic receiving
skills and strong blocking ability. He excels in both the
passing game and the run game, using his athleticism, speed,
and physicality to make plays and create opportunities. Kittle is
(01:55):
also recognized for his toughness and versatility, making him a
key weapon in the San Francisco forty nine ers offense.
I agree his ability to gain yards after the catch
and his effectiveness as a blocker make him one of
the most well rounded and impactful tight ends in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Let's start the clock. We already should have. We're two
minutes in. Yeah, dude, Kittle, he's like the first of
this whole Iowa fucking craze tight ends. He mose was
in there, not necessarily.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm gonna kind of throw myself into that category.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You want to know why you and Iowa?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
No, I didn't go to Iowa, but you want to
know why my first two years in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, my tight end coach.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Who was Brian Farreens.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Bryan Farrens offensive courts for the Iowa Hawk Guys. I
remember Brian Farrens. He'd always put you up on that board.
He was a fun coach.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I love Brian Farrence. I'll still remember to this day
some of the lessons he taught me. And first off,
he taught me how to block. He's the one who
helped make me the blocker of who I was in
the NFL, which is very much exactly and that's why
kill is an all around tight end because they emphasize
blocking first, no doubt about it. And on top of it,
Brian Farrens many times always told me just keep being you, man,
(03:08):
You're an awesome guy. Keep being you it's gonna get you
the places that you would never imagine. So thank you
Coach Farance. I'll still remember that to this day. What
I loved about Coach Farns he says, when you're nervous,
you're ready. And I was nervous coming into this podcast world,
and I thought about him again. I thought about him
every single game I had, and I was nervous. You're nervous,
You're ready. Thank you, Coach Farence.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Do you know what? And it's crazy what Coach Farence
basically said to you is probably everything that like Kittle
is kind of shoots out on the field, you know,
selfless guy, be yourself. Which he's a very charismatic dude
when you think of like he's a funny dude. He's
the guy who started tight End You, which is this
huge event which you get to go to all the time.
(03:51):
Like he's a character not just off the field, but
he's got that fun like little kid like rob kind
of energy, like gronk energy when he's playing, because you
guys both like when you guys both play, it looks
like you guys are having the funnest time ever. You know,
like you guys like blocking he loves blocking. Kittle gets
(04:11):
open a lot because of how hard he blocks.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's the truth, man, And if you're a good blocker
in the NFL at the tight end position, you're gonna
be able to get those easy passes thrown your way.
Like that's the reward for blocking in the NFL is
the play action passes when the linebackers step up, the
quarterbackers dumps it to you after the fake handoff to
the running back and boom you catch it, you know,
eight yards down the field and boom. Then you just
(04:34):
make the safety miss. You can have a twenty yard
game off of a little play action pass and just
keep the chains moving. Well, here's the question. Miami University
was tight end you back in the day when I
was high school, that had freaking Greg Olsen, Jeremy Shahi,
Kellen Winslow, Winslow Junior.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm a soldier.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, I'm a solder, Jah. And he's like that because
I know why he said it, because they absolutely leveled
like five guys on one play. Yeah, And then they
asked him about that play and then he goes, I'm
a soldier. He's not taking any shit. He's in war.
But they had a couple other guys as well that
was going to a league that they were sunning. The
backups were getting drafted. Greg Olsen, Greg Olsen, I said, Greg.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Olsen, you know what, they never forget Greg, You can't.
But that was the tight end you when we were
growing up. That was tight end you. Now really has
to be Iowa and it's because of the start of this,
this whole thing with Kittle, I mean Kettle fifth round
draft pick, which makes it even more impressive. He's a
fifth round guy. He wasn't the biggest dude, he wasn't
(05:37):
the strongest dude, but he always fucking blocks his nuts off.
He's willing to give his body up. He makes big
time plays for his team when they needed on a
crucial third down. He makes red area blocks where he's
taking his fucking defensive end and driving him in the
end zone. Like he's the guy that you always want
to play with. He's that that's that's the kind of
and he's always fun. You could tell he's positive and
(05:59):
he comes from like a lore of family from Iowa, Like.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
What do you what do you mean, Jules? You can
tell he is positive, Like that's just a well known
fact that he is a positive guy. Whenever you're around
George Kittle, like your aura just lifts up. He's just
always looking for the best thing out of anything that happens,
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, he's very optistic. He's like optimistic, positive thinker, you know.
And and honestly, that's the kind of vibes that you
you you gave off when we were in the locker room.
It's there's guys that are hard. Ohs, there's guys that
are asshole. Like I was a guy that was like
I had to be in a certain mindset to asshole. Yeah,
I had to be an asshole, not an asshole, but
like I.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But you weren't. You weren't an asshole, but you were like.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Okay, I made it. I made guys a heart. I
was hard, No, but you weren't.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
That just a tad bit because you were, like you said,
you were making them accountable. And that's what the technique
you used to make them account.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And that's because I worked so hard and it took
me a long place to get to where I got,
so like that's what I was.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Like.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Then there was guys like Kiddle and yourself that, like
you guys worked insanely hard. You do great in the classroom,
but you do it with like a smile in your
face and you're always happy. Like there's different guys in
the locker room and you. And that's what I feel
when I think of like George Kittle, that guy is
just like a positive, great dude to have around, especially
with you know, their locker room. They got so many
(07:17):
different charismatics characters there, like it's it's just a great piece.
I think he's a freaking baller.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And going back to Iowa and about and being tight
end you they also had TJ. Hockinson come out of
Iowa highest paid tight ends in the game. Noah fan
Font how do you say his last name? Faint? I
don't know, fine, Noah Font Seattle. Yes, yes, he's a
great player. He's huge man, that dude's huge hole. You
(07:44):
got Sam Laporta, the best rookie last year, went to
the Pro Bowls over eight hundred yards. I'm sure he's
gonna have over a thousand yards on ten plus tds
this year as well. Give the University of Iowa for
this decade, you know, to be known as tight end you.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
For sure sure. The story about his dad writing letters
before every game that's pretty hard hitting. Did your pops
ever write you anything?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No, my pops never wrote me anything like that. But
he always motivated me, especially growing up. He always told me, Hey,
if you want to be better than everyone else, if
you want to get to the next level, you got
to outwork everyone. And my dad's been selling fitness equipment
for over thirty years now. So you put a weight
room in the basement and said, hey, hey, you want
to make it to the pros. Buddy, you want to
make it. You want to be able to dunk, you
(08:29):
want to be able to block, you want to be
able to toss guys around. Well, get your ass in
the weight room and get stronger. Now, you know, he
wasn't a hard ass about it, but he always a
lot us that way. Hey, get in the basement. Now
you want to be strong, Get in the basement. You
want to whoop some ass, Get in the basement.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
That you got to have that he's got that same.
You know, it may be different because he's getting letters
and you're eating weights, you know it's still that dad
kind of love like I had mine, in a different way.
You always know and hear about him and his relationship
with his family, like just a fun dude off off
off the field too. He has a fun You ever
hung out.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
With him, I've only hung out with him at tight
End You, and I just met him a couple other times,
just really quick and he's always fun, just so positive.
And what I love about him though, is that we
are very similar.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That's for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
We have similar game. He's an all around tight end
and he's the best all around tight end in the
game right now, yes, bloger, Yes, in the receiving game.
What I really love about him is he's a w
w E fan bro and he's an ultimate WWE fan.
Pretty sure. He's done a couple of things with WWE.
(09:37):
I think with WrestleMania. I think his favorite wrestler is
like Luca Hannah Luka Hanas. He has that vibe to
go into wrestling after he's done playing. He'd always be
cutting w w E promos. He's always a b I mean,
he's got great energy. I mean, in order to start
National tight End Day, he started tight End You while playing.
(10:01):
He's got a lot of juice and that's why people
love him. That's why his teammates love him. I mean,
I'm sure how many guys do you think he has
picked up on his team that are down. Yeah, I
don't feel like playing right there. He is, He's there
every day. Hey guys, let's go, let's go let's have fun.
Let's go make some plays, let's go cut some balls,
let's go do this, let's go do that. You know,
it's just Auras to pick guys up around him. That's
a guy you want in your locker room. That's a
(10:23):
guy you want on your team, especially at the tight
end position, the best position in the game. I mean
not bias, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I mean he was a standout on the TV show Receiver.
I mean that's how big of an oor he has
for a tight end like he would under receiver and
pretty much dominated that show. Not saying like statistically this that,
but like his story was like so fun watching on
him and his family, and he's got a crazy sneaker collection.
He's a monster.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
He has a monster, and it's just he's like a
guy that you want to work out with when you're
working out. Sometimes you go into the workout and you're like,
I got to work out. He's like James devilin in
the way, Yeah he is. But then you just start
working out him and boom on the switch is switched
and he just Wow, it's like turning the lights on
you just when you're around him, you hit that switch
up and boom, the lights are on.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I bet you he hasn't come out to the weight
room song when he goes into the weight room, like
he probably puts on one song, like a wrestling song,
like a like a stone cold.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Like.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's how I bet he starts his fucking workout because
he's so like that.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
What I don't like about him, though, is he broke
my receiving record. Well, Travis Kelsey did too that year,
but George Kittle broke.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
My receiver Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I had thirteen hundred and twenty seven yards that one year,
and uh yeah he broke that. And plus he had
a two hundred plus yard game, which is incredible as
a tight end on two hundred plus yards.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But that's ten minutes we got to determine.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh my gosh, absolute monster.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So where do we put him then? What kind of
dude is he? What kind of dude? Is a freak,
a dog, a whiz or a dude's dude. I mean
he's kind of a dude's dude. I think so he's
a stud like, he so positive, like people don't for.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
You understand either. He's a freak bro. This guy is
so strong pound for pound, he might be the strongest
guy on the team.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And he's got that weird leverage like.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That lifts like five hundred plus pounds. From what I hear,
I never worked out with him, but he's mentally he's
got dog in him. But I'm leaning towards dudes. Dude,
he is a dude's dude.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I gotta go with that, because he's a locker room guy,
locker room positive energy, come cool collect always.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I've never seen a bad micd up on him. No,
I never have. Man, I gotta yelled at referees and
I've sworen like he's just like always, like.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I actually envy his energy.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I want his energy.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh wait, time out. Wow, we forgot his picture as well, Jewels.
I blame that on you. I blame that on you, Jewels,
because you were the veteran with the pictures on the
very first show, and that was my first time I
needed to be reminded.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The picture is so you forgot. But there he is.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Everyone there he is. That picture just exemplifies and that
explains him totally tongue out, having a good old time
smiling with his tongue out.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You know how You know that.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
That's all Greasy hasn't showered in a week, just has
dudes all over him from the last Practiceaggy sneaker.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh man, George Kittle, he's a Dude's dude, he's a dude.
He is just on the field.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Off the field. Let's get into our next dude. We'll
be right back after this quick break.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
All right, who's the next dude?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You have your little AI already? This guy hold on.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Jules girlfriend's text me. You know I got to answer.
I want to be a good dude. Okay, he's a
good dude. I'm a good dude.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Come, I said, hello.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, guess what she's doing? What?
So it's a ten year anniversary for the super Bowl
that we won versus Seattle.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
And you know who we're doing right now?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Now? Oh my gosh, who are we doing next?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
We're doing Seattle?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And guess what. Camille just texted me. She's literally crying
right now while practicing because she misses dance so much.
Because they're bringing back to cheerleaders do a halftime dance
routine that they did at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yes, yes, Sorry, Richard Sherman, You're not a back to
back champ because of us? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Are you mad about it? Is he mad? Mad?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He's not mad? Is he bro about? Our guy? Ellen?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Iverson? Smart man? He can just read a freaking everything
on the Internet in a matter of ten seconds. I
always knew AI was the best.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Of all time. He's the answer.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
He is the answer.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Let's get on Richard Sherman.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Wow, he was so good that he covers this whole page.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
He does.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Richard Sherman is known for being a highly skilled and
physical cornerback. Renowned they used this word too much in AI.
Renowned for his exceptional coverage skills, intelligence, and ability to
rea he plays. Sherman was a key figure in the
Seattle Seahawks lesion of Boom Defense. His lanthy frame and
aggressive playing style made him a formidable opponent and both
(15:11):
Manda Man and Zone coverage right formidable jewels for dudes.
On dudes, I mean, if I say something wrong, correct me.
That's what freaking good, dudes, I know that's what friends. Dude, Okay, I.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Don't know, I don't know how to read either Sherman's leadership,
trash talking trash talk. He definitely tried, he met him.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And ability to make crucial plays and high pressure situations contributed.
Yes he did. We're just watching his highlight film. Man,
I forget how good he was. You for ball skill,
let me finish. Always just cutting me off to make
crucial plays and high pressure situations contributed to his reputation
as one of the top cornerbacks of his era.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I agree with I agree with a I Richard Sherman.
We would like we watched the highlights before we this,
and you forgot how many great plays he made because
that cast of characters, the Legion of bhom he was
a part of it, and there were so many good guys.
But then we watched those highlights. His ball skills. He
(16:14):
used to run routes for the receiver because he was
so smart, like he's situationally one of the most intelligent corners.
You could never throw a downfield ball against him. Like
that was like what I always remember. He always he
was a gambler because he'd always have those eyes in
the backfield, like he was one of those original guys
where he'd play off and have his eyes in the
(16:35):
backfield and then he'd break on the guy like Richard,
and then he'd always have the hands like he had
unbelievable ball skills in order to finish the plays. You know,
he just was a freaking stud and he used to hit.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What do you think I would if I, if I
was a young cornerback, I would give Richard Sherman a
call and ask him where he learned those ball skills.
How was he tracked down a ball like that and
make it, you know, and have an interception and make
it look easier than a wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, he was a receiver in Stanford.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Well that answers my question. All you cornerbacks out there,
they need to do more ball drill, Baldrew, I say
all the time. There would be literally like two or
three more interceptions per game if these cornerbacks knew how
to catch the ball. And Richard Sherman knew how to
catch the ball, and that's why he made so many plays,
and that's why he led the league in interceptions some years.
(17:28):
So what year was that again? He definitely led the
league right, twenty thirteen. Yes, they won the Super Bowl
that year. Yeah, they did, and that's part of the
reason why they won the Super Bowl was he was
a literal genius of the game because he played wide
receiver in college. He went to Stanford University, so obviously
he's smart.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Smart guy.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You gotta be a smart guy to go to Stamford
and all my friends that went to Stanford pac Pac
ten guy as well. So I shout out to the
Pac ten four point two gpa in high school? Four
point two gpa? Who is he cheating off? Come on
four point two? I thought it only goes up to
four point Oh how do you get a four point two?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I think there's advanced classes that count as a five
point zero?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Makes no sense, I agree. I never knew about those ones.
Advanced classes.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Wasn't there either, rub I was.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's why we have a podcast, and that's why that is.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Why would you beat him in a math competition?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I would I'm that good at math. Come on, give
me a math problem right now?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Forty six times twenty?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh my gosh, a nine one hundred and twenty yep.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
He would still be thinking, mich Is Sherman would still
be thinking.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I don't he'd be talking shit.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You'd be talking ship where I would have probably been
thrown off my game and then he would, Yeah he would.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
That's how smart he is, where he would have talked
shit and been able to calculate, multitask and then do
it like that's kind of guy was. I mean, we
played against from the super Bowl and we we jawed
back and forth, and it's it's out of fun competition,
but you knew, like when you were stepping in the
in a game with Richard Sherman, you knew if you
were gonna be lazy or if your route wasn't there,
(18:58):
he was going to cover you and he was going
to let you know that he covered you. Those are
the fun guys. He was a freaking monster. Like you
watch just the interceptions he made his high pointing of
ball skills that AFC Championship game where he tipped it
from crabtree and like the last like thirty seconds or
twenty three seconds, thirty.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Two the most impressive plays I've ever seen a cornerback.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Make in a high pressure situation when that was the
game that was for to go to the super Bowl,
that was to go to the Super Bowl. He had
a lot of those.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And what made him so great made him stand out
from any other cornerback was his height and his length.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
He was six y four.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
He was kind of like Randy Moss, but as a cornerback.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You know, and he had good hands, like to combat
rightball skills, but like to combat the quick guys to
get him running side and side because he was so
you know, he's long, and that's how you got to
get those kind of corners. You got to make him
running side to side. He had such long, great arms
where he could play at Atlanta of scrimmage. He'd win
at the Lant of scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
He had football IQ. What about his physicality? Was there
a play I remember just watching, think does Bryant broke
off for a like a fifty yard fifty yard he
was about to score? And I'm pretty sure it was
does Bryant? Uh yeah, and uh he was in back
of the end zone, you know, guarding his guy. You know,
man manned them up. That's why the ball went as Brian.
They should have had him on does all game. Actually
(20:17):
he came out the back of the end zone off
of his guy and literally does Bryant with one yard
away from scoring? Richard Sherman came out of nowhere and
just laid the hit stick and made him fumble right
on the one yard line. That just showed how physical
and how much he just laid his body out on
the line for the for the team, and also.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Not to quit on a play like the play could
have been over he does. Bryant could have easily just
gone in. He and Richard said, you know, technically he
won his play. His guy was guarded, his guy didn't
catch the ball, but to come off his plaster and
to make the hit at the end of goal lines.
It was like that's you saw those plays all the
time with Richard Sherman. He never gave up on plays.
(20:57):
He was smarter than you, he was longer than you,
and he could talk better than you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And he had leadership like he was always vocal, very vocal.
But the thing is he backed it up every single time.
He always said he's the best corner in the game,
which he was throughout that era, but he backed it up.
And that's what over read, that's what you uh reeve
was a little bit before him. He was like right
at the end of Revis era, Revis Island. Yeah, so
(21:22):
Revis was was in his own category. And then it
was Richard Sherman. Two totally different players, two totally different
skill sets. But hey, Jules, you remember when you trolled
troll them Sherman. Yeah, explain what happened, why you did it?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
The parade after we played him in fourteen we won,
someone threw up a sign of like with the face
after the interception, and you know, you're just playing up
to the parade, having fun. I fucking threw it. I
was hammered, like it was all funny games until someone
gets hurt.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
But no one got hurt. No one got and you
were hammered, So that's an excuse. So it was a
parade and anything goes. We just beat him in the
Super Bowl. And Richard Sherman loves talking crap, but he
can take it as well, and I.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Think he can.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I know the guy now personally.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I've talked to him a few times through Chris and
Thompson because he does all the Amazon and he's always
been a really cool day.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
He's doing a great job as an analysis.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I think so too. He's really good, a.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Lot of insight to the game, especially at the corner position.
He's not scared to be himself.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
He's never, never, never, never has been. And it was
his career, you know, and just with the guy like him,
like you had to play hard the whole game. If
you turn it off, he would smother you. He'd make that.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Bad peck if he if he saw Tom just slack
a little bit in the pocket, he would be able
to read him just like that.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Because he played his eyes in the backfield like he
liked to play off that Seattle six where it was
like it was like a match zone, so he could
play off and he would see he would read the
quarterbacks and he'd come sloop on those seams and come
steal them last piece. Though.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I played with Richard Sherman my final year with the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unfortunately he you know, he was an
end of his career. He was a little washed like myself.
He showed up. We had like eight corners down. We
gave him a call. He showed up, and I'm so
glad he did, man, And I finally, you know, got
to meet him in person and talked to him. He
pulled his hamstring. I remember I had broken ribs. So
(23:15):
we were reminiscing together about facing each other. And what
a great guy he was, man, great leader. Great guy
to have in the locker room, that's for sure. He's
got tons of positive energy.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
He's a guy you love on your team, but you
hate him exactly. I love he wasn't even playing.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
He went on the IR and every time I walked
in the locker room, like I love Sherminators on our team.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
That's how great he was. Man.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
He just always chopping it up and always being a character.
I love the guy whenever I see him too. Great dude,
ten minutes, ten minutes. What kind of dude is Richard? Dude?
I mean he was. He was freaky. He was like
a Randy boss. Is he a stud dog? WHI He's
kind of everything man, because he went to Stanford, so
he's a whiz. He was a dog with those hits
(23:59):
as well.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Because he I think he hits that whiz category because
his intellect was second to none, like him and Revis
are in that same category where they could run routes.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, he was kind of a dog though too.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He was a dog because he was relentless and motivated
always physically. He talked to you.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I kind of want to go with Wiz though, just
because he went to Stanford.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
He went to Stanford. He was clutched. The whiz is
always clutch dude. The wiz is someone who innovates. They
changed the position. The position used to be a guy
that was probably no bigger than six foot six foot one.
I mean those were huge corners back before him. He
was six foot four. He evolved the position, especially in
that Seattle system he had him and Browner. They love
(24:43):
those tall corners and he's a huge part of that.
Which that's how you take away those big receivers on
the outside. You put a big guy like Sherman on
him and they let him battle.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And that's why the Legion of Boom was such a
great defense as well. I would say that he was
the leader of Legion of Boom as over Chancellor. Yeah, answer,
Chancellor was the guy that laid the smack down. He
smacked I think you know, he was the wizard of
the Legion of Boom. Same with Earl Thomas. He was
a rocket, a torpedo. He laid the smacked and he
(25:13):
laid the smack down on me a few times. But
Richard Sherman was the wizard. I feel like he got
that you know, secondary imposition, and also why he had
so many interceptions, and why he was such a great
corner is because he knew how to play the game
of football in zone coverage and man coverage. Because he
was so freaking smart.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Wiz.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
He is a whiz. He's a whiz kid. Oh my gosh,
I didn't wear any of my merch jewels. Oh my gosh,
Oh my gosh, I wanted to wear this Buccaneers hat man.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Too.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
See, dudes forget a lot of things. Man, That's why
we always love to have a bro next to each
other to remind each other. And we forgot the picture
as well once again, So get his picture up here.
Oh my god here. Oh I thought that was I
thought that was George Kittle. Still all right, all right,
ms up there. See dudes on dudes, man, I.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Think, dude, I think I think defens.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Just browing out too much forgetting things.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Don't you think defensive guys with dreads are like does
that not?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Like?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
That looks like the predator to me, man, like they're
search and destroy the intimidated timidation. It never intimidated me.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
But I'm always I'm sure jewels are never intimidated.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
You.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
You're bringing it up, you're bringing.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It up, but it always, always, I always thought it
looked fucking sick.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It does look sick. You look good, you.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Look gone to our next guy.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
He's got some skinny legs. I think that's what made
him so athletic, because people with skinny legs, those corners,
they're just so fast and they never get tired. That's
why I always got tired and was like, no, Jewels,
you run this route like the ball's going to my legs, Like,
way too thick.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
He would do that, by the way, man, I would
take it like.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
As a bro, you know, as a friendly How am
I looking? You're looking Jack, like I worked out this
morning for this episode down.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But you never know Jack, you know how Camille never
not dancing, Never not Jack.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Look at that baby, shall show you a six pack?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Round good, good, Put your dong away.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's a dude, God, look at that baby.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
You still got it, dude.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I'm just being a dude.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Okay, that's all. Sit down, you big old dude trying
to be like Dola. Dola is ripped, man. Dola's like
Patrick Swayze right now and dancing the stars. Let's go
vote for you. Yeah, he probably cut her. Ah, he's
cut her. Let's get onto our next concess. Who is
our next guy? Absolute legend, absolute legend, will start the
(27:45):
clock in five seconds after I say who he is.
He's just a man's man, our new teammates, someone that
we've all looked at.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Right, He's not a dude. He's a man.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
You can't call him dude. So this is this is
dude's on man? How he long?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
How we long?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
How he long is? How he long? Ai?

How Long has a huge slong?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Oh? What the heck? What the heck? Hey?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I inappropriate? Inappropriate? How Long would be like, geez geez,
you guys are just characters? He would guys, Yeah, you
guys are just characters. Always just you know, he.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Always he always says, just keep being you. But he
would love that line.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
He would, he would, he would, even if he has
a small one, he would be like, thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, I don't know if he does. You don't got
last a hammer? Yeah? Yeah? How he long? Talk about
your face?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
He produced two huge NFL sons.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Huge huge like first round o Lineman, first round, first
top ten pick, Chris Long D I mean Kyle long O.
I'man Kyle Long played baseball? Is he a fucking They
just have champion. They have champions sperm all right, let
me get to they have champions. He does have championship.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
How we Long was a dominant defensive ent in the NFL,
known for his powerful pass rushing ability and strong run defense.
He played primarily for the Oakland Raiders. Who is the
second team? I thought he was an Oakland Raider.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
La Raiders.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Wait then that's still the same team. Yeah, that's really weird.
Ai not there in two different cities. He might as
well have played for the freaking Las Vegas Raiders at
this point.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I mean he associated with them. He could still he
looks like.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
He should be the Raiders owner. Not Tom, just kidding, Tom.
We need you as the Raiders owner because then you'll
be like really rich, and then you can get a
yacht and Julie and I can come on it.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, and then you can give us like cushy like
scouting jobs, like a million dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You Tom, How he's not the owner. You're of the owner. Tom.
We need you, buddy, We hang we hang out with
you more so we need you to be the owner
and maybe if we need a job in the future.
That's what dudes and dudes do. If you're bro, you
like one. Dude always gives a job to their like bro.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
That's called that's guy. That's a triple D. That's called
daydreaming duty. All Right, dude, daydream We're back, right, We're
You're back where.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
He earned eight Pro Bowl selections and was named to
the NFL's All Decade Team of the nineteen eight eighties
eighties decade. When I was born in eighty nine, so
eighty six, Wow, he probably sacked a guy and got
our mother's pregnant from such a big hit.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
That was awful, awful take. But knowing how he probably not.
How are you stand up? Guy?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yeah, knowing how, you're right and you end up going
he goes, Yeah. They they just our parents just got
so just turned down from his sack, from his sack
in the eighties, that that's why.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
We were born. It's a bone crushing sack.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, because my dad's a big fan.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
My dad is not a fantom.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I think I think our parents, our dads got so
turned on from how he Long's hits that they made us,
we were created, They made us.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Very well could be This is when how he was bawling.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Long was known for his athleticism, intensity, and versatility, which
allowed him to excel both in rushing the passer defending
against the run. His impact on the game and his
leadership on and off the field solidified his reputation as
one of the premier defensive players.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Of his era. I mean, we threw on the highlights.
He's just nasty. He's like the guy you send in.
He's like a bomb squad guy. You know, you send
how he is, but he doesn't wear armor. He just
goes in and does it with his teeth, you know,
like you send him in there and he'll do it
like some shit that no one wants to do. He'll
(32:02):
get the job done. He's so intense. He was like
and you could see it when he played. He so powerful.
He knew the game of football. He was a really
smart football player. He looked the part of a raider
with the bull ring. He was like one of the
original dudes that wore the bull ring. Like that was
like hard nos. Any kid in Pop Warner when I
was a kid that wore a bull ring was like
(32:24):
that did eat cement and that's what fucking how he
I think I literally saw him at Fox once in
between games that you guys were doing. I saw him
take a teaspoon of cement when he with his coffee.
Like that's how manly he is.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
This guy. If you're going in a back alley and
you're about to brawl, you're about to take on ten
other mother efforts. Yeah, and you're by yourself and you
had to choose one other guy to go in that
back alley, you bring how we along with you and
then guess what, you would just sit back because he
would take on all ton of those guys and fucking
(32:58):
whoop all their ascides.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah for you. But then I think afterwards he would
sit them down and tell him where they they need
to work on their fighting skills, and like he would
sit there after, like you know, giving him like a
rag for the nose that he just broke from some dude.
Like he would sit there and he'd be like, yeah, buddy,
like yeah, you gotta be smarter than that. You can't
go against you know, while like looking at his surroundings.
(33:22):
I remember the first day I met him on on
on Fox. You know, he saw we had a dinner
like the friday before and it's my first show and
I'm a little nervous and so I had a dip
in at the dinner, and I thought no one saw
I had a little baby dip in. Two days later,
we had our first live show, and how he was
in there, and we had a production meeting where we
were with the big show, the other show, and all
(33:43):
of a sudden, how he came in, didn't say a word,
pulled out a tin, put it right on my thing,
put one finger and just slid it to me and
give me a head nod and just walked by. That
was the first interaction I ever had with him, and
it couldn't have been anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
How he longed he might be one of the greatest
guys I've ever met. And I don't think it's talked
about enough, is that he might be the best role
model you know out there in NFL history. I mean
the guys out there. The guy's been through it all.
He grew up in Charlestown, Massachusetts. He's an orphan, yes,
so you know he's orphan. He's like he's like the movies.
(34:20):
He's got that you know, that Boston hardo in him.
He takes no ship at all. But let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Then he goes to Philly at Phillanova yeah, and gets
a little that more East Coast asse asshole, no thiss.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
All American man. He has great kids, great kids. They
grew up to be first round NFL players. Do you
remember Chris I remember Chris Man, great guy. Loved him
in the locker.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Room, loved him in the locker room. He's always be
holding court in his little section with Nikovich, like him
and like him, and Ninko would be sitting there. Nico
would just be sitting there like marveling at Chris because
Chris was like so paid and had a sleeve and
he was a white dude that had swag. Nico would
just do anything. You remember the.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Chris Long did he?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
He was Chris Long's shadowy thing because he like by
that age, you know. Nko has been like institutionalized by
the Patriots, where like any outsider, he's like, oh my god,
this is what it's like.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
If you had a problem or situation in life and
you need an answer, you would hit up how he Long.
The guy has been through everything from A through Z
in life. Just a great role model overall, very positive guy.
When it comes to crunch time, he's right there on
your side. Has taken me under his wing at Fox.
(35:34):
His knowledge for the game of football is through the roof.
If you have any questions, he's there to give you answers.
And then he doesn't care if you give him the
credit or not.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
And he's fucking great looking. To look at how the
freaking same du he did when he was playing. I
want to say he's got top top three chins all time,
top three chins cowards one coach coward, Howie Brady. He's
got a nice chin, but like this is like man
like Brady's like pretty chin. I never looked at this,
(36:05):
just like this is like when you used to draw
up like old I never looked at heroes. I never
looked that nineties you know how they they were just
big grown men with huge chin, like the car.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I don't look at chins, look at the like that's
just a man. Yeah that's a mansion. You're right.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
And he had the best flat top ever. He still
has it.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
What about that neck role that he played with that
does that neck roll make you more bad ass? It
kind of reminds It reminds me of James Devlin, like
he was more badass when he had the neck roll.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
On neck rolls definitely give you two points on hard asses,
two points for sure. Who else do we have? Eric
Dickerson had a good chin the Alchim Team.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
No, not the not the not the chin, he had
the neck roll. What about Brian Bosswork? What about his
neck role?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
That was pretty bad as Tom Rathman.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
What about Mike Alstott ultimate neck role, ultimate player?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
What about Kent State Go and Flash Jack Lambert. Oh,
I think he's a bunker guy. I think he's in
a bud.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I don't even know what Kent State. No.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I've tried to get in Calle. They call it. Some
would call it the Harvard of the Midwest. I don't
know if you ever heard of it. But yeah, neckrolls
how he long, he's a huge part of that. Like
old school guy that had neckroll, made you look tough.
And he's Hollywood. He's been in movies, like his story
(37:25):
about like he stopped doing movies because it just was
too much. He told me that. He's like, yeah, you
know I had to get I had just needed more
time with my family. They kept on sending me scripts.
I was like, man, how he's so cool. He's like
fuck the movie, fuck that.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
He's a great family man and That's why I said,
if you have any questions about life, you ask how
we long? And he has the right answer every time.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
He really does in any situation. What kind of dude
is how he long?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Well, he's a loyal dude as well. I mean he's
the first one. He started the Fox gig with Terry
Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson. He's been there for third one
years now. Yeah, Yeah, the Fox pregame show. And it's
just an honor to be just to be a part
of it, yeah, a little ounce of it, just to
be with those guys. I mean, it's what they have done.
(38:12):
They transcended post career after NFL.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
They've given an example of how if you want to
get into this industry, how how you got to do it?
You know it with not just they're on camera chemistry,
but the way they freaking prepare. I get to be
a fly on the wall watching them in between shows,
watching you get ready, and those guys are just he's
just a stud and exactly what I just said. He's
(38:39):
a stud. He's a freak. Yes, he's a freak of nature.
He's got the dog in him. He's definitely a dude's
he is a dude's dude.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
But when locker room guy is a wizard as well.
I mean it literally is all five categories. And that's
why he's so successful.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And what do they do with the Kentucky Derby racehorse? Come?
What do they do? What do they call him out?
They stud him out, stut him out. That's what fucking
how he Long is. He's a stud like he when
you look at a racehorse.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
And it was a proven stud too, because he produced
two first rounders to.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
First rounders, like when you look at a stud a horse.
How he's the human version of a racehorse.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
A I even knew he had a huge song. Did
you hear me read it at the beginning, Howie Long
has a huge long?
Speaker 1 (39:24):
They didn't really say that, Yeah, really said that. That's crazy.
I think he can. I think he literally could probably
win the Kentucky Derby. He could because that's how manly
of a man he is.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
When you call his son and trosk him on the phone, Chris,
what did he say about?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Chris said, he's a fucking stud.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
So he's a stud stud, no doubt about a stamp
it stud.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Stamp stud our first stud Tony Gonzalez was Tony a
stud too, Yeah, different type of stud.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Different stud.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
This was like a badass stud, like a smooth stud.
Yeah yeah, but but both studs. We'll be right back
