Aliens are real? Meh, I don't know, should I care? Are they aggressive or are they nice? Somebody tweet me. Everybody's talking about this. I haven't heard one thing. And I've never seen a picture. You're telling me it's 2023 and nobody can just snap a quick pic of that and upload it onto their Insta or TikTok. Give me a break. All right, we'll see what Gronkh has to say about that. He is on the show today. And Aaron Rodgers, St. Aaron Rodgers, can I have $35 million? It makes me laugh. St. Aaron Rodgers, that's such a nice ring to it. I mean, the ups and the downs, they should have a Six Flags ride for Aaron Rodgers or Disneyland or whatever's cool. Like in Credit Coast or Get Outta Here, the Aaron Rodgers plus fans plus the public career arc. And then there has to be just the Packers part of that roller coaster is hilarious. What are Packers fans feeling about this? There is no discount. There is no giving back. There was a, you know, Devontae Adams is like, what's happening to me here because of the money? And now it's a different time and it's a different day and it's a different page being turned. And it's another day of training camps. There's 32 teams, but you think there was just one because that's what everybody's always talking about is what's swirling and whirling with this jet squad over here. Here it is, guys. Oh, that smiley St. Aaron Rodgers signing a two year deal at a baby with the jets and he, therefore, Air Go, what so have you, punts on his ability to earn an extra 35 million dollars. It is the biggest pay cut in NFL history, which you already know as you already know that there's aliens in the world, on the world, on the earth, who knows? And look at this, okay? A couple of these guys are aliens. Patrick will home certainly is. He's not on this list though. Take a look. This is Aaron going from the highest, fourth highest paid quarterback, making over 50 a year, down to 13th. This means, guys, that he's no longer even the highest paid quarterback in New York, okay? And coincidentally, he'll be making the same money the Saints gave Derek Carr to outbid the jets. Which was the one? Yeah, outbid the jets earlier in the off season. And the jets, and the Giants, I was just saying, go Shay, go Shay, and go Dabel, everything going on would say, jets win, the jets just win. They're winning, they're winning, now they got to have a cook coming into town. This frees up so much cap space for the jets, not just this year, not just like, let's have this baby window and we have to win now. But over the next two years, and obviously this Dalvin Cook rumor mill has been surrounding a bit, but it's a real thing, he's flying to New York. It's got booked this morning.  He's doing his part to make the most of his time as a New York jet. The team gave up significant pieces for just to be a one year deal. I'm aware of that. I think there was an awareness of that. Now again, anything can happen with my body or with the success we have this year, but I'm having a blast. So I don't really see this as a one year and done thing. Aaron has been seen as so many different things. He has taken and played the bad guy hat, the pariah, the greatest ever, the media loves him, media hates him. He's a great team player. He's not a good this, he's a great that. It's so much, I'm mostly fascinated with how will this man in 20 years be remembered for his chapter in the NFL, what will that look like? Will different fan bases look at him differently? Will it be polarizing or will this sort of a move and if it all works out and he wins a Super Bowl, will that define his legacy most of all, taking less because people love to point to Brady on that and then people love to point to his extra zeal. We can get to that with Gronk. But there's this whole narrative of Rogers, take less than Brady, take, Brady helped his team. He took a team-friendly deal. Should we be telling players to do that? I don't know. Should we be charging quarterbacks of doing that? I don't know. He certainly could have done that a few years ago with the Packers and sort of bringing and keeping that team together in that group with Devante. But whatever the case, it's done there now. He's here and he's setting up the Jets incredibly well for a two-year stretch. And if this ends up resulting in a second ring that puts him in an entirely different conversation than among quarterbacks 20 years from now, as we're looking back, even kill with Patrick Mahomes, who might have a few more when he's all said and done, it will be the most interesting character arc that I think we've ever seen in this league. And if it doesn't work out, just the pressure, just the pressure on it.  What it is for me to eat these yards up on the field for these games, are you giving so much more if it's off the rails? Does money make things sticky? The idea of it, the pressure? Or does it get everybody on the same page and show I am this dude, I am this leader, I know what I want. Don't tell me I want MVP trophies, don't tell me I want championships and I want that and I think I can do that here. It's all going swimmingly and I really wanna go there. And I think we might be going there next week. So I'm gonna ask Aaron Rodgers for 35 million because he seems to be just handing him out these days. It's great. Okay, so as if helping the Jets for an office wasn't enough, okay, let's take a listen to this. He's also apparently, and this is all that legacy conversation. We have a new producer on our show, our name's Tierra. I said, why is he doing this? Why is he taking the, putting this money back? And she said, I think he's considering his legacy. And I think she's right. And what he's doing is, you know, he's obviously changed and evolved and his humanity is very important. He's very human, he's very transparent and he's got things to say, but he's got things to say to Jordan Love who's taking this job and everyone wants to say, you know, how far was to Aaron and what does that look like? Is he gonna be like that with love and people somehow for whatever reason don't expect him to be that? It's always been a great relationship. I don't believe that it wasn't. That's my opinion, but he gave him a call. Jordan Love talked about it and they sort of spoke about a phone call that Love got from Rogers leading into the first training camp where he's at the helm. Aaron reached out to me last night and that's exactly what he said. Yeah, he said, just be yourself, have fun, enjoy it.    Don't try and be anybody else. Don't try and be Aaron and things like that. Just be yourself and that's kind of what I'm trying to do. How can you not love Aaron Rogers? I mean, if you're Packers fans, you gotta love that, you might not love the other things that you're seeing, but you gotta love that. The mentorship is genuine. It's real. And Love went on to talk about how much having the support of a legend like him and helping him build his own confidence, you'll love to see it. And as for the practice itself, Green Bay fans reports on a GB, we're not as cute. Nope, not as pink, blue, wiggly people. Maybe, I don't know, first day jitters. All right, Dobb, somebody, okay. All right, all right. Work on the street, on the Twitter street. X Street, what are we calling it now? The offense had a little bit rough of a go here, so much so that our friend, Matt Schneidman, friend of the show, tweeted that the entire offense was doing push-ups and post-practice as a gift from the floor, as a punishment. So hopefully it's just a blip and they settle in today, let's not make training camp and winning, winning training camp and winning the off season doesn't mean anything. Finally, let's check in on what might be the most intriguing camp to watch this summer. If you think I'm not trying to find a way up to Niners and check out what they're doing, you've got to be crazy because what's going on at these quarterbacks? It sounds like Brock Birdie is ahead of schedule, which is great news, but let's take a listen to John Lynch. Brock's cleared and ready to go. He's been cleared, he's gonna be without restrictions. Now, having said that, we're sticking and we're adhering to a plan that's been put in place for some time. And he got after it the last couple of days. We upped his pitch count, so it was kind of the peak of the buildup and so he'll take off day one, but we believe in that plan. So he's cleared without restriction, there will be some time off due to pitch count and all that sticking to the plan. But the great news is Brock has worked his tail off and he's ready to go. Okay, so Kyle Shanahan also made it clear that Brock will be taking all the reps at the starting offense during training camp when he's out there while Trey Lance and Sam Darnold was split reps with the ones on Birdie's off days. And even though that pecking order seems to be straightforward, fans, San Francisco media, all afternoon, we're oohing and eyeing over Trey Lance's new quicker release. Okay, this was the hot topic yesterday. This drama is not over. I don't think it's over anytime soon. I think it's gonna happen all of camp. And speaking of drama, the Niners put Nick Bosa on the reserve did not report list and they're not expecting him to show without a deal. Well, of course the Niners have to get it done. They are up against it. It's worth noting, because this is a team that you sort of expect to cake walk through the entire NFC. They're projected right now to be 16 million over the cap. The anti-Aaron Rogers, they need money. He's giving it away and you get a million and you get 35 million. And by the way, at 16 millions without Bosa on the books, people, I've tried to tell this to Niners fans, this is why having a quarterback is only taking up 0.4% of your cap space over the next three seasons in Brock Purdy. Getting him to seize the job is the best scenario. Why are we trying to fight it? You're not paying Brock anything. You don't have the cash. Let's go. And I got Bosa saying, nope. So we have to see how this all plays out. But does that make sense? 0.4, the 0.4 is pretty good deal. Pretty good deal. Gronk's on the show, guys. I don't know if he's seen this thing about aliens. Gronk, they're saying aliens are here. They're real. I don't know if it's Tom Brady an alien. Patrick Mahomes will talk about it after this. We'll be back on up-end. Ta-da! The Old World tight end, the 6.7-3. You never know where these interviews are going to go. With Rob Gronkowski on the show, four-time Super Bowl champ, Fandall family member, you are here. It is training camp. And I am excited to talk to you. It's been a long time. Yes, it's been a while, OK? We're back. And today, I'm going to be earning it. You know what? I got this. It was the James Skinner Goodell, Commissioner Roger Goodell's wife, made a beautiful documentary series about all of the amazing women that run the NFL, Norma Hunt, the late Norma Hunt, who passed away this past year included. And I saw it in my closet this morning, and I've never worn it. And I said, I'm going to put this on today. So yeah, we are owning it today, Rob Gronkowski. I got a question. And you got a really fun thing. Yeah. Do you think Roger Goodell is earning his $62 million dollars per year? I don't know. I think if you see what the NFL is making every year, I would say probably it's the decimals in the commas. Check out. OK, let's talk about we've got a lot to get to. And you have a fun, fangirl-y thing that we have to talk about as well. But first, it is training camp. You know, I used to cover the Patriots. I was there that first day when they'd swing the gates open. You were there year in, year out in the hot sun with Bill Belichick, with the clipboards, with the Mapatrisas. When you see footage like this, where does it take your mind, like, the first day of school? It kind of, like, gives me some joy just seeing all the fans go in. It gives you, like, the goosebumps. Because that's what gets you through training camp, is all the fans, actually. I mean, those grueling days when it's 100 degrees, the humidity is 90% out there. And you're just pouring sweat. You're just pounding each other out on the field, hitting DNs every second, trying to get open. And you're kind of dragging a little bit. And then you look over, and there's a couple fans. I mean, just a couple fans throwing comments out making you laugh. They're the ones who push you through training camp.   You've got to love the fans. You've got to love their excitement running through the gates when they open. Rob, is training camp the worst? Training camp's kind of like the worst, but it's also really good for you as well, you know? It gives you that discipline.    So I've been in training camp for over a year and a half in my life. And I think it teaches you discipline. It teaches you how to come together as a team and all that good stuff that you can use in your life.  It can be a little dreadful. And it can be a little long as well. But overall, it's great for a lot of things in life, but when you're a little bit older, it's not as fun. Yeah, then there's that hill back there. You had to run a new wing. And I don't know how it was down in Tampa. But I mean, some of it was good. You famously won a three-point competition, right? Yeah, so we do team bonding. When I was with the Pagers, we had a couple of team bonding exercises where it would be outside of the football.  You see a movie where it kind of was like an inspiration that gives you motivation for the next day to go out to practice. But then we had a team bonding moment where we went and had a three-point contest because all the skill guys in the locker room, all they do is talk garbage 24-7. Oh, I'm the best basketball player in the locker room. I'm the best shooter in the locker room. So finally, we put it to the test. Everyone got together. We had a three-point contest, a Miller training camp. And guess who won the three-point contest? Yes, you're talking to them right now. Okay, I won the three-point contest. I can tell you this, all the skill players were mad. No one congratulated me. Everyone was shocked. And every day I was just sitting there and they were all talking about how good they are at shooting. I am a secret lethal shooter from the three-point line. And I was on fire. I beat everyone. And it just, the day didn't go as planned for them. Like always. Who thought they were the best? Devin McCordy, Patrick Chung, Armin, who else? Just all of them, all those skill guys. Yeah. They're the DBs, they just think they're the best. Yeah. Nothing like nobody congratulating you and everybody being mad about it, that to make team building happen up there in New England.  Talk to me about aliens. Are you in on aliens? Are you interested? Do you care? Are they good? Are they bad? No, I love aliens. I'm definitely pro-aliant. I think they're great. I actually want to meet an alien one day. It'd be really cool. I think guys like Elon Musk, I always say sometimes I'm like, he might possibly be an alien. The way he can calculate numbers, come up with those businesses, then have another billion dollar business on the side. You gotta be an alien in a way in order to be running all those. So I think there may be some humans that are aliens out there, but I wanna really meet an alien coming from a different planet. That would be really cool. I'm for the aliens. I'm pro-aliant. I think we should do more research about aliens and I think humans should meet aliens. If there was an NFL player, who would you be least surprised as an alien? Like, oh, that checks out. That makes sense. Like who in the NFL is suspect number one? Like someone that's like an absolute freak, like DK Metcalfe.  Yes, and he just has muscles everywhere. He runs like a 4, 240. I mean, he can run track as well. He's faster than all the track athletes out there. It just doesn't make sense. He may be part of alien as well. See, you picture like big, strong feats of strength. I'm picturing like Mike McDaniel is an alien. Like that's my alien. Like he's, you know, the crafty, like that I think he's an alien. Yes, yes, you hit that on. That does make a lot of sense. He may be an alien as well. He's kind of like, he's just got the secret soft. He's rolling at all times and he may be an alien. He's the coach of the aliens. We're gonna dig into some more NFL storylines here. Let's talk about this Barbie premiere, though, because it's very fun and I just like the footage. I like the pink, all of that. I'm in LA, it's Barbie Mania and you and your girlfriend went to the premiere and you looked incredible. I need your film review. I have not seen it yet. Yes, I enjoyed the movie, you know. I didn't really know what to expect. I'm going into it. There's definitely some action.  It keeps you engaged. That's for sure. I would say, you know, if you're definitely a female, you're definitely gonna love the movie, 1,000%. There's no doubt about that. I would say I love the role that Ken had, you know. Ken was getting bullied around a little bit and then he came through when he went to the real world in the movie. So just overall, it was a good movie. I think it would be great even for men, you know, to go to, especially to go to with your girlfriend. I think it would be great for couples to go to. I don't see a group of guys, a single guy is going to the movie, but I think it's great for a couple to go to or a husband and wife to go to. But overall, they did a good job. The actors and actresses, they were all spot-on. That's for sure. They all did an unbelievable job. And just overall, I would definitely go and see it. Can you imagine if Bill Belichick took all the boys, Mac Jones, all those guys over to the Patriots place, then I'm glad to see Barbie. I think that's the last movie that they're going to go see as a team building exercise. I would say one of the other movies like Mission Impossible or Oppenheimer. Yeah, one of those movies that are out right now, he would go see. That would be more of a team building exercise for a football team, especially for the New England Patriots. But Barbie would be pretty funny though, if he did it as a prank. I mean, I can see him doing it to maybe, maybe to loosen up the guys, you know, hey guys, we're going to a movie and then everyone walks in and it's Barbie, you know, just to give everyone a good laugh.  Two thumbs up, we love it. And Jane Fonda is not even in it. So that means we really love it. Okay, so here's the thing. Ken had his Barbie. Gosling had his Margot Robbie. You have your Camille. Our baby, our Travis Kelsey is still looking for his Barbie. Okay, he's still trying to make it happen. And I don't know if you saw this, but Travis Kelsey said that he tried to give a Taylor Swift friendship bracelet to her at her own show when she was in Kansas City. And how cute is this? It had his phone number on it, which is amazing, amazing. And she literally said no, didn't want anything to do with it. What do you think? Good couple. I think Travis is a very thoughtful guy. And if they started dating, that would be hands down the number one Ken and Barbie in the NFL. No doubt about that. So let's hope it happens, that would be really cool. Travis and Taylor Swift are dating. Come on, Taylor, let's make it happen. Let's go. I know, I felt so bad for him, but I love that he admitted that that happened. That's amazing. Okay, so we haven't hung out in a bit. I'm gonna fill you in on a little bit of what's been going on around the NFL. I know you're doing your thing. You got games on Fox this year. You've got all your NFL stuff, but we got paid quarterbacks. Justin Herbert got a big bag yesterday and Joe Burrow will be the next one paid. He sort of played the game of chicken to be the last guy that gets paid the most. So Chris Collinsworth was here with me on Monday and he told me what he thought about Burrow and his chances this year. Look at this. Joe Burrow has a chance to do it all this year. And let me just tell you why. Joe Burrow walks into this season healthy for the first time.   What do you think? I think the Bengals will be in the playoffs again. They definitely have a shot at the Super Bowl.  I went to the Super Bowl two years ago. I mean, they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs this year. Now, who was it to? Who do they lose to the Chiefs, right? This year in the playoffs. They'll be in it. They'll be in it, they'll be in it once again. They have a great team and I feel like they're a team that they put it together when it really counts. At beginning of the season, they're iffy, and then all of a sudden they just put it in the fifth gear and they turn it on and they start smoking all the teams when they really need to. Joe Burrow, he's definitely next in line. He's going to get paid. If he's not paid this year, he's going to get paid after this season, no matter what, and he'll be making, I don't know, $54 million a year with his contract. So everyone has to one up each other and he's gonna one up Justin Herbert, that's for sure. We had Malik Jackson, Super Bowl champion.  He was on the show on Tuesday and he had this take about a certain fan base. Take a listen to this.  The nightmare fan base. I guess I have to say the Patriots, they have that false sense of greatness. They think they're out there putting things on and the way they talk to you and the stands is quite interesting. So I'd have to say them. Wow, wow, wow. That was very interesting. I never heard a player say that before because if you come to our stadium, it's a stadium where all our fans are nice to the opposing team. That's for sure. I mean, I was thinking he was gonna say maybe Philly or the Bills or something. It's a total different atmosphere than those two. Those are some growing atmospheres if you go to as an away team. If you have an away jersey, my mom won't wear my jersey when she goes to a Buffalo Bills game or say to a Philadelphia Eagles game because they just harassed the opposing team the whole time. Here in New England, we're nice to everyone I hear. I hear when my friends wear their team jersey because they're not Patriot fans, they say that New England Patriot fans are super nice to them because we don't have anything to hate on. We're always beating that team. So I never heard that before. That was a very interesting take. He must have ran into just a couple of the fans that were giving him some garbage. Gronk, if you think that these New England fans are telling the Jets fans to come eat lobster rolls and lobster bisque before you go, you're out of your mind. There's no way. No, I'm not lying. I mean, the Jets haven't beat the Patriots in 10 years.  You know, they feel bad for the Jets fans. That's the thing. Let's, okay, let's get into this Jets thing. Aaron Rodgers, this big news, 35 million. He pulled a Brady team friendly situation, wants to load up the team even more. Dalvin Cook is on his way to New York. When you heard that he pulled, but people are calling a Brady, though it's different, I think a little bit. What were your thoughts truly?  I mean, he's got money. He's been playing for how many years now, getting paid 40 plus million dollars every year. I mean, what's the difference between 50 million and 40, 40 million now, especially at this point in your career.  And obviously that must mean he's enjoying his time in New York. He needed a culture change. And now he got the culture change and he's in New York. He's loving it. And now he took a team friendly deal, which is great to see, man. I'm just, I'm happy for him and I'm happy he's loving it there. And I'm excited to watch the Jets play with him at quarterback this year. With some of those years that you played with Tom and there were things that happened that made it more possible with the cap to bring in different players. And it was known that Tom Brady could have had more money and took that. Did it add more pressure and was it ever talked about in the locker room or how did that go? I mean, it was never talked about in the locker room but you kind of just felt it. You felt the presence of everyone's deals and all that. You do, but you really don't talk about it. And if you do, it's kind of like low key on the side or something. But I think it's going to help out the team. It's great to see.  I'm going to be doing the same thing.  If even if I'm not satisfied with my contract, look what Aaron Rodgers just did. So he's leading the team by example and so far, so good. He's doing a great job in New York and I think the Jets are going to have a solid year this year. Define solid. You played them twice a year for so many years. And you know that there's a lot of stuff they have to get through. They, of course, changed the entire teams and who's running them and all of that, the infrastructure. What's it going to take for them? Well, the last 10 years, yes, they've been an absolute garbage, that's for sure. There's no doubt about that. I mean, I'm not for the Jets still. I'm against the Jets. I mean, I'm a patriot now. So the Jets, they're just not cool to us, but I'm going to be realistic with how they're going to be this year. And last year, I thought they had an excellent team. The quarterback play was just kind of horrendous at some points because ball's getting launched up in the air and there wasn't even a receiver around within 15 yards. And Aaron Rodgers is going to change that. And he doesn't do silly plays like that. He doesn't make silly mistakes like that. He keeps everyone accountable. And this year, I think they're all 100% going to make the playoffs. They're going to change it around. They've got a lot of offensive weapons. He's going to know how to get the ball to the offensive weapons, that's for sure. And on top of it, they're going to go to the playoffs, but they're going to be Super Bowl contenders, meaning they will definitely have a chance. I don't think they'll win the Super Bowl, but I think they'll definitely be in contention to make a run. I keep saying this because I want it to happen because it's such a fun story, right? He's there, it doesn't work out. The Packers, he's there. He wins one championship in 18 seasons. He comes here and is trying to do this and he's doing all of the right things. I want to see it happen, but it's hard to not compare it to what Tom did, right? But it's different because Tom went to the NFC. The NFC and the NFC could not be more different as far as toughness. But also, Tom didn't come out firing, right? You were part of that team. You all had struggles. There was chemistry. He had great receivers, incredible receivers. He had you. He had a great defense, but it takes a little to get going. And then something clicked for you guys and you went on this seven or eight game win streak. I can't remember. And then won the Super Bowl. I'm scared that in the AFC East, the margin of error is released. You can't lose your first seven, eight games and then try to squeak away into the playoffs to win. It's just too hard. So are you worried at all just as a four-time Super Bowl champion? What's out the gate, they have to be hot.  Yes, they definitely do have a tough schedule. I think they're in the hardest division in football this year. You got the Patriots who are up and coming, especially with the hire of Bill O'Brien. You got the Dolphins who made the playoffs last year.  It's going to be a very, very tough division. I think it's one of the most toughest divisions in all of football over the last, I would say, decade. There's no doubt about that. And they do have a tough schedule. But one advantage is it's a very similar situation with when Tom went down the Tampa. I mean, the Jets haven't made the playoffs in a decade. Tampa didn't have it made the playoffs in a decade as well. I mean, when was the last time the Jets want to play off game? Actually, I think it was versus us in 2010. So it's a very similar situation. Both have good defenses. The offense was not that well. And now they're improving just like that to have Tom when he went to Tampa. And now to have Aaron Rodgers when how he went to the Jets. But yeah, it's very, very, very similar. And the thing is the Jets and Aaron Rodgers, it's not the COVID situation. Tom went to Tampa in the COVID situation. He's done with the Jets now since the summertime. So they've been having that bond from the beginning. He understands his wide receivers now. He understand how the program is run. So they have that jump start. And I think that's going to be huge. And that's going to be the one advantage that Aaron Rodgers has over Tom Brady when he went down to the Buccaneers is that he had the off season to gain that chemistry and the connection with the team and the organization. And they're going to come out firing from the beginning. Damn, Gronk, I forgot. I didn't even think about that. It just puts just another mark in the Tom Brady and the greatness column of what he was able to accomplish in the midst of all of that. They're like putting the fans in the stadium. Thank you. I was a part of it. I know, I know. You were a big part of it. So because you were a big part of it, I'm going to ask you this last question before we get to the fun Fandall stuff. What would you say to Corey Davis? Obviously he's got Randall Cobb who he knows and Lazar. Garrett Wilson, guys who are making some nice catches with these receivers that are tasked with out the gates having chemistry, what's the best advice to get on the same page as quickly as possible?  Don't make any excuses.  Be accountable every single day. Be consistent and to gain that chemistry with your quarterback, no matter what do whatever it takes, no matter what it takes. If you need to stay after practice for 10 minutes with Aaron Rodgers and work on one route for the whole 10 minutes to be on the same page, you got to do that. You got to do whatever it takes. If you got to go in the film room and understand what's going on with the defense, where Aaron Rodgers is going to throw the ball and where it's going to be placed, then you got to do that. You got to take that extra step. And this is the year for them to do it. This is the year that they can all show up and be great. So take that extra step and to greatness. Amazing, great advice for those young receivers. Now I hear that you have a big announcement with FanDuel next week. What can fans expect? Yes, yes, I have an exciting announcement and I have a brand new game I'm launching on FanDuel's gaming app, the FanDuel Face-Off Baby. That's what's up and I can't share too much now. All right? All right, I know you're giddy. I know you're giddy. I know you want me to share all the goods, but I just can't yet. But I've worked hard with the FanDuel Face-Off Team to create an amazing game that I love and both Ralphie and I are featured in the game. And Ralphie, if you didn't know, which two of the fans out there, Ralphie is my son, AKA he's my dog, but I consider him my son. But the team has given away a bunch of prizes all month long. So download FanDuel Face-Off and follow the app FanDuel accounts on social media ahead of time to get ready for the action and users can win signed memorabilia and rewards for playing the game. And also my favorite part of it, you can play for cash. So you can pay your bills once you win in this game as well. So let's go, get ready, big announcement, big drop coming soon. This is a, it's very mysterious. I gotta tell you, they're not giving me many details on what this could be. I don't know if it's like a made up game that you came up with or if it's like an old school game you're bringing back but the gaming app has so much fun stuff on it. And yes, you can win cash. So get on over there. And the release date for the Rob Gronkowski FanDuel Face-Off game is August 1st. Yes it is. And that's what I love about it. You can play for cash against people as well on it. Win some money. All right, you're the best. Some money. All right, we'll talk to you later. Thank you for all. I mean, and Travis Kelsey, good luck. Good luck with Taylor. Yeah, good luck Travis. I wish you the best baby. Make it happen. All right, we'll be back. We got back to back tight ends. We have Jody Fortson on the show. Are the Chiefs repeating this year? What does he make of Riz God Travis Kelsey? We'll be back. Jody Fortson all smiles this week at Chiefs training camp entering. Oh my gosh, is this year number four? Smile if it's year number four. It certainly is fourth training camp here. And then at the tight end joining us right now, like Gronki is a Super Bowl champion and from Buffalo, New York. Put those two together. The pride of South Park High School from the reigning champion, Kansas City Chiefs, Jody Fortson. I feel like I don't even remember that you guys won the Super Bowl. It was so long ago. The offseason definitely was sore. So how does this feel? Does Andy let you guys talk about it at all or is it like no mention of the wins at all? Oh no, we definitely allowed to show our personalities. Coach Ray does a great job of just letting us be who we are. But we're definitely wants the next year. We already did last year, so it's time to go back to back. Coach lets you be you, but he also makes you guys do stuff that I can't imagine must be that fun because you are one of seven teams in the NFL that spend camp away from the facility. So are you a fan of going away camp? No, I rather much. I would much rather get out of your lives. Jody, what is the benefit of being out there? Like what do y'all do after practice all day? I guess the biggest benefit of it is the camaraderie. The team being with each other nonstop. From going to the cafe, to the dorms, to the practice field. Like we're around each other nonstop. So that's really not escaping me. No escaping. You get to learn much about like people, different backgrounds of where they come from and what not. So it's pretty sweet, you know? Just get to know your team. Sure, so you're in St. Joe, Missouri at Missouri Western State University. Is there at least like a good restaurant? Like where are we going to? You're saying you can't escape, but you can get away a little bit, right? Kind of, not really too much escaping, but. Okay, I won't get you in trouble. I won't get you in trouble, Jody. You were there to bomb with your teammates and to work on getting another Super Bowl ring for the Kansas City Chiefs fan base and for yourself. Let's see, how different is, what's like your mindset, your focus going into your fourth training camp? You were there in 2019, you were an undrafted free agent. I, you know, you've definitely grown and evolved over the years. It's really not much different. You know, I just have the same mentality as going in and doing the best that I can do. You know, being available and just trying to, you know, be available for my team, to make the place where my number is called. It's not really too much different. I feel like I'm a hard worker. My team appreciates that from me. And you have a really interesting and inspiring path to the NFL and becoming a Super Bowl champion. Of course, you've, you know, went from on a journey from playing at a lot of small colleges to, you know, making a budding dynasty in the Chiefs. What motivates you in this, like next part of your career? I mean, I'm really pretty much self-motivated. You know, I love the game of football. You know, it brings a lot of joy, not only to me, to those around me that care about me. You know, it brings a lot of people together. But, you know, ultimately I just like winning. So I like, I came into a great organization where we just started winning off the jump. So it just kind of contagious at that point. And you get Travis Kelsey. You get to hang out with him. He's quite a character. He's had the craziest off season ever. Did you hear this thing about how he got shut down by Taylor Swift? I did hear about that, man. Sorry, Kelsey. I didn't hear about that. I, it's hard to believe somebody would turn Travis Kelsey down. I've never seen it happen. I was about to say that. I mean, that doesn't, I'm sure that doesn't happen often for him. So it definitely was like a culture shock. Like what? But I like, you heard it when he did, right? It was a friendship bracelet. Cause that's like, they give each other these bracelets at her concerts and he had one with his number on it. Oh, that's actually pretty clever. I'm gonna have to steal the page out of his book. What else? Tell me, Jody, what else do you steal out of his book? What has he, what kind of an impact has he made on your game? To be honest with you, I'm trying to steal everything.  So I, I'm working every day crafting it to, you know, be remotely something close to that. You know, from the way he runs his routes to the patients behind it. Most importantly, his professionalism, you know, Kelsey's always smiling. He always walks off the field. He's signing autographs. He's just very personable. Like I think Kelsey's a great mentor, not just for me, but for any other tight end in the league that just aspires to be great. I think they should definitely take a page out of his book. Cause I think he does it well. I think the rest of the world agrees as well. I think the smartest thing is trying to take whatever you can away from him. I do think when you say he's professional, it's not that people don't think he's professional, but it's the same thing. I just had Rob Gronkowski on. They're so fun. They've got great personalities. They're good leaders, good team guys, but it's almost like they're goofy, but people don't understand what it takes, right? Like, like tell me more about that side of Travis Kelsey in that tight end room when it comes to playing ball. He's like a coach on the field. I always say that, like, he knows exactly where, not only where he's supposed to be, where everybody else is, you know, he kind of deviates from the plans a little bit, but he doesn't, to where it doesn't interrupt anybody else's job. Like Kelsey is like a magician. Like he, he just knows what's going on. He knows the details. He knows what the defense is supposed to be doing, where they're not supposed to be at. Like he just, he just, he, he does a great job of finding space. Kelsey's just a, I can't say it enough, man. He just, he's a goat for real. I'm so happy to be in a role. Well, and you're with him there in St. Joe's. And you're also with him on the field when y'all are doing your thing. And we here on my show like to do research. We have an incredible producer who went deep into it, but not really that deep. Cause we see this on the field every, every Sunday, but everybody sort of looks at the offense and Casey and they say, oh, it's so high flying. It's built on speed. Of course, a little, maybe less with Tyreek leaving. But did you know that you ran three tight end sets the third most in the NFL? Nah, I wasn't aware. Third most in the NFL. And you, Jody, you were a huge crucial part of that personnel, as you can see right here. Okay.   Myself converting from receiver, you know, defense or defenders linebackers aren't going to be able to keep up corners are usually too small to be around there. And it just, you know, frees everybody else up from the different speed and the different, what I bring to the game as far as speed around the edge, you know? Well, it's third most in the NFL. And I don't know if a lot of people realize this, but a lot of the chief's most iconic plays from this whole past season came out of those 13 personnel sets, including one of the biggest plays. And you know what I'm talking about of the past Super Bowl. Walk me through this one from your vantage point out there. I'm gonna tell you, off the dribble, I thought I was getting the ball. I was running too fast. And then Pat, you know, opening up the field, he got it running with his tongue out. When you see Pat won five with that tongue out, know something special is about to happen. Definitely start taking it off, get it to it. You start picking his knees up and everything. Okay, but Jody, did he steal your Super Bowl moment? I want to say, first of all, I think every moment is won five, so he got the ball at the play.  My gosh, it's so true. I love that. Keep doing what you're doing. Your role in the offense is insane, incredible. And you, I'm just excited to watch what else you all do this year. Because, you know, the Chiefs, they weren't in your former receiver. They weren't wanting Odell. They didn't want De'Andre Hopkins. They said like, it's Kaderius, Tony, and this Tyden situation. So you better be ready to bring it. Oh, we're ready. Okay, enjoy, enjoy it. I feel bad for you. Andy, this is a terrible situation having these boys at camp, but I hope you have fun and make the best of it.  Jody, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, thanks for hanging out with us. So great to get to know him. I like when his face lights up at that Super Bowl play. And yeah, Patrick, you don't have enough love. Like you don't have enough highlights. You're gonna kind of let Jody Fordson have them. Gosh, totally back. The WNBA season's heating up and you can turn crossovers into cash. Where can you do that? With us at Fanduel, of course. Right now, new customers get $100 and bonus bets guaranteed. When you place a $5 bet now is the perfect time to join Fanduel. The app's easy to use. There's always great promotions. And when you win, you get paid instantly. Gotta love it. All right, let's get to it, guys. We've got some fantasy bits. These are just things that I think of on my drive to work. And by drive to work, I mean the walk into my little office here from my bedroom. So yeah, wow. We are in full sweat pants mode here. And we will be at training camps all next week. But we are here for some fantasy bits. And today, I wanna talk about Commander's Receiver, Johan Dotson, okay? It was something of a surprise when Washington grabbed him back in 2022. 2022, he was taken 16th overall. But he put on the show as a rookie. He scored seven touchdowns in his first 10 career games. And he had a lot of success. He looked good. He sort of popped off the page even with his stats. But I still think he's being slept on partly because of the question marks that are sort of surrounding Washington with Sam Howell. I don't think anybody in Washington questions it, but people who are drafting definitely do not exactly a marquee name. And I think partly because of the five games that Howell missed due to injury last year that knocked him out of the rookie of the year race. So I'm not letting any of those questions stop me. Johan Dotson looks good for this year. Everything should be shaping into form. And right now he's going in the seventh round as a borderline, this is true, a borderline wide receiver for. This is criminal. This is like the most value you could possibly get and love and want. So if you look at the way he ended, yeah, this is what I'm talking about. His last five games, geez Louise. And if you look at the way he ended last season, he was a wide receiver one in this time.   There's a lot of talk about McLaurin. I'm okay with taking him, but if you're talking about value, definitely between the two on that offense, the more valuable grab. Okay, let's go camping. We had a beautiful conversation with Rob Gronkowski talking about his times, mostly in New England. I think, what did training camp not exist? I mean, did he go to training camp in Tampa? I'm not sure, we gotta go look at that. I don't think he did. I'm sure he, yeah, I'm sure he tried to miss as much of it as he could. It is, you know, we've seen a lot of veterans do over the years. I don't think he did. He thinks training camp, he thinks Bill Belichick, that hill that they have to run up to do laps and all of the trauma that leads to a Super Bowl ring and a ring ceremony after. Okay, let's go camping and see what is going on. What is our first one? Let's do it. Let's take a look at what the Lions are doing. We have Dan Campbell doing things. Doing all the downs. I'm over this. I knew that was gonna be your reaction. We know, you know, things get old for you very quickly. Like, is Mike Vrabel out there doing pushups too? It's just, let's move on. Well, can we get Mike McDaniel doing up and downs? Let's do that. Like, Mike McDaniel walks around and like has fun and chums up to his athletes out there. Cool. Training camp. Okay, Josh Allen apparently met his number one fan yesterday. Oh, there's tears, there's tears for Allen. Where? I'm seeing the tears. I don't understand what's happening. All right, Hamilton, what did you, what do you think about aliens? What do I think about it? I think what we heard yesterday was pretty alarming. You know, everybody's having fun with it, but this guy made it sound like a pretty scary situation. Yeah. That girl's saying, oh my God, I just touched Hailey Steinfeld. That's why she's crying. She's not crying because of Josh Allen.  Goodbye.


Happy Sunday, you guys. Today I'm vlogging to, hopefully keep me accountable. There's a lot of things to get done today because tomorrow is a huge day for me. I'm modeling for a big beauty brand. They're based in Austin. Well, technically, I think one of their co-founders lives here and I want to make sure I am all ready for it. Call time's like 6 a.m. tomorrow and of course I'll be vlogging that. I think it might be in a separate vlog. I've known for about two weeks so I've just been really trying to use the same products and not try anything different so that I don't break out. So I literally have one more day and I think my skin looks pretty dead and good. I've been using this CEO Afterglow from Sunday Riley and I'm gonna do a quick makeup because I feel like that always makes me feel a little bit more productive if I have some makeup on. So let's do that. I feel like I say this all the time but no, I will never get rid of my sorority t-shirt. So, you know, yes, I'm pushing 27 especially because I want my daughter to have vintage K-shirts. I feel like that would be so cool. Recently, I haven't been putting on a face makeup. Like usually I put on a lot more of the nests even though this looks kind of like a lot. It's just kind of like blending out and making it last. Especially in the summer when you don't wanna feel like a cake base, it feels a lot better on the skin. I feel like I have a bunch of different foundations or like different, you know, stages of my tans. This is what I'm using right now is the Tula Radiant Skin Brightening in the color 18. This concealer is so good. It's from Hourglass and I'm in the color Dune. I feel like getting a concealer brush has really changed the game for me. This one is from Hourglass too. Using a Dibs Beauty Stick. I love these especially for nose contours because it's like so precise. I also have a blush so I'm able to just put a little. I'm being so greedy with this and I'm just so surprised how long this has lasted me. But it's the Huda Beauty Powder in Banana Bread. It's so freaking good. And at first when I got it, I didn't love it. Now I'm like obsessed with this powder and I just need more. And I'm gonna buy the full size next time. I, yeah, that's for my eyes just look so weird when I don't have like something on my eyelids. So we're just gonna put like a little brown matte shadow. Just give it like a tight color. So primer, I also need to restock on this. This is the long comb like booster primer. I don't even really know if there's like anything in here anymore, but the stuff is magic. With primer I used to wait until it was completely dry but now I just go right ahead and I feel like it works a lot better that way. I make all my eyebrows laminated in so freaking long. So I've just been using like this Anastasia Beverly Hills Brown Gel kind of thing. Oh, what's up? I feel like my brows are getting thicker. I am using a serum. So it's nice to seal my consistency, hang off. Just gonna go in with a brow pencil and fill it in. Brows look so good. We're gonna do a little bit of like a glowy blush. This is from our glass. All that's left is lips. So we're gonna take this like dibs, beauty eyeliner, not eyeliner, lip liner. It's like a gray color and it's so perfect for like anything because you just put this on. Maybe like another color of the liner, put this on like around the lips, then put a gloss on it and it will look so defined and plump. But I'm just gonna take this. So now it's time for the gloss, which I love this stuff. I feel like I've loved it for years. Maybe we can lift our gloss. Looks like the hair has been preserved from last night. I actually went out last night and I stayed pretty late. Like I think we left it like one. I took it like Alka Seltzer. I don't even know what it was like a hangover thing because my friend told me that Alka Seltzer really helps and I feel great this morning actually. Like I kind of want to take another one just for like a little boost. Okay, cool. Hallelujah. I don't want to do my hair. Here's today's outfit. I have a skims tank on. This is a little bit see-through so I just wear my nipple covers with them. And I feel like they're showing a little bit too much right now, but it's fine. This skirt is actually from Revolve and Ryan was like, you should wear your new balances.  So I really need to get my use out of them but also just bring like a little tote bag with me. Like I said, I went out last night and there was some casualties. Really all of my freaking nails, the gel just like ripped right off and it wasn't even like when I was out. I was like coming home and I think I shut the car door weird where it like really lifted a lot of my gel nails. And I was so mad because I did my nails. I think was it Thursday or Friday?   Let's do it just Thursday night. And so I don't have to worry about it on Sunday and like stress about it. And I haven't really gotten my nails done in a while. I do need a pedicure so I'll do that today. But I like doing my own nails right now. So I did them and he lifted. And I'm just so annoyed because now I have to redo like literally, what is it, four nails. So we'll have to do that today as well. We're on our way to the Sunday Mueller's Farmers Market and we love doing this. I feel like we haven't gone in a very long time. The last time we did go, we got this like tie kit and I made, what was it? Yellow curry, green curry. One of the caries and then a Tom Casube and it was really, really good. I don't know if we'll get like a whole like meal today. I think we're just going for the fives and to get some. Lemonade, their lemonade is so good. If you ever come to the freaking farmers market, you have to get it. It's called, the stand is called Citrus. We're actually meeting up with Ryan's friend from high school, which technically is my friend too, I would say because we went to the same high school. So we're meeting him and his girlfriend. Oh yeah, and he just moved here. So that's exciting. And I was telling Ryan the other day, I was like, I probably haven't talked to him in like literally eight years. Like maybe, wait, where'd he go? He went to Alabama, right? So he didn't even go to UGA. So I don't even know where I would have seen him if he had been in so much. Oh, during summer, maybe. Anyway, so it's been a while, but we're going to meet him and it'll be fun to do a little double date. I could not be more happy right now because yesterday there was like a random gray blob when I took a picture of anything on my phone. And I was like checking the back camera. I was like, what the heck? I don't see any dust particles. I was like wiping off every second. And then I Googled it and it said that it could be something like in between the camera glass that you would have to literally take apart the camera to fix. I was like, what the heck? So I immediately made an Apple store appointment for today. But like everything was booked up at the domain and I actually really need to go to the domain to pick up that powder at Sephora. But we just made an appointment at Barton Creek Mall. Well, honestly, I just have a lot of things that I want to get done today. And going to the Apple store is not one of them because I just didn't know how long it would take for them to like repair it and stuff. And so I tried to Google like how I can fix it. And basically they said like it's dust particles. So since it like moved into that spot, I can move out of it. So I literally just stood my phone up on a table and then like smacked it down. And I saw the little particle move. So I smacked it out one more time and it is completely gone.  I don't know if you guys watched the vlog for my Amazon brand trip that was in Austin. But basically I was supposed to wake up at a certain time and I thought it was like so much earlier because I like woke up kind of just like leisurely. Basically my phone was off the whole time and it was cutting it really close to when I had to like leave and check out of the hotel. So I went all the way over to Barton Creek Mall for an Apple appointment. Basically all I did was a hard reset which I thought I knew what a hard reset was this whole time but I didn't. If your phone ever like just randomly shuts off on you do a hard reset. Anyways, my phone's been going through it. I feel like these past two months but thank God it's nothing super serious that I had to like pay for it. You know, I was just worrying about that because I think my phone's definitely out of warranty. It's like I said, I've just been having a little bit of trouble with lifting and if you guys have any advice please let me know. I use like a base coat. I've been doing builder gel which usually builder gel does not come off very easily so I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong and it is currently 12.55. I really wanna go to Central Market today just for fun. I love Central Market because our in Texas is basically an HEB, well it's owned by HEB but way bougier. So it's pretty much like a Whole Foods but I prefer Central Market over Whole Foods. It's just like it's so pretty and I could spend hours just walking through the aisles and finding fun snacks. So I think we might do that in a little bit but first I kinda wanna look through my TikTok saved collection and like see what kind of meals I wanna make this week. I made a really good salmon recently so I kinda wanna do a salmon and then I'm just like really loving chicken recently. I mean, I feel like that's a very big statement but you can just like get so much protein and it's just so easy and I just put like garlic powder, salt, like literally just random basic spices on top of it and it just turns out so good in the air fryer and another thing we've been loving to do is getting just like Caesar salad packets and throwing some chicken on top. It's so filling, obviously it's healthy and I think I'm gonna do like two days where I make that for lunch but tomorrow since I'm doing the modeling gig I also have it on Tuesday so tomorrow's a full day, Tuesday's a half day and so I'll have to make the meal plan according to that but I'm gonna just put all my nail stuff up and then we'll probably get going soon. We haven't really eaten much so we're just gonna pick up some taco deli before we head into the central market because if we are hungry in a grocery store it's just gonna be very dangerous. Thank you. Got a pork one and a pork and mushroom one. I just thought it's not really good and then he found just an array of meats. That's how you stay in cartology. Yummy. And then I'm finally not hungry anymore we can go shopping at central market. Honestly, I kind of wrote out a rough draft of a meal plan but I feel like we should probably get the majority of the things at HEB or even just like Walmart. Central market can be really expensive if we get everything here so I think we're just gonna like look for some fun snacks and just like roam around, maybe get some like fruits and veggies that we wouldn't get at like a regular grocery store. Also all the packaging here is just so cool to look at. It's like $96 which was not as bad as we thought. So yay. I'll do a little grocery haul. Like I said, I wasn't gonna get everything that we needed because I wanted to just go ahead and just get it at the regular grocery store but we got some watermelon, some zucchini because I tried this like new technique. It's called the Thomas Keller technique and it is just so delicious and it's a freaking vegetable and anytime Ryan likes like a way that I prepare a vegetable I am like feeling like on top of the world. Avocados obviously always have to have a lot of that because like that's just like a good add-on to anything. I'm obsessed with red onions. I feel like I always want to add it to every meal. I got some honey crisp apples. I'm so excited about this. We did end up getting those tin fish things and Ryan was like, okay pick one or the other we can't get to because they were like $15 like total. I gave them the puppy dog eyes and we got both. So this is the Patagonia Provision Smoke to Muscles and then this one is the Sardines and Olive Oil. I don't know when we'll be trying this but I will definitely be videoing it with a TikTok and then the other day I made breakfast tacos and we didn't have like a salsa which I thought we did. I thought we had like multiple but maybe they went bad and I threw them out. So just got some yellow bird salsa. Ryan's gotten into a bad habit of getting a bagel like out every single day. I was like, Ryan could literally easily make that at home. So he just got some everything bagel bagels. And then I got some sourdokes. I've been craving avocado toast lately. This is my favorite new snack. It's the Himalayan sea salt, pink salt, coconut oil and popcorn.  So I'm going to see how it compares to the Boom Chicka Pop because the sweet one is like my favorite. So I'm really excited about this because I am like running low on my salt one. So I just got another one. I tried Choms recently. I didn't find any in Central Market but I saw these. And I just feel like these are really good. It's like snack to have. I love like little beef jerky sticks. I obviously got an ollie pop. I feel like I always have to get one if I see them in the grocery store. Got our chicken Caesar packets and I need to get the chicken part. And then these are honestly what I'm the most excited for. When my sister came to visit, it was really, really rainy that weekend which honestly sucked, but we made the best of it. And I took her to Central Market to just like get out of the house. And she loved it and she got this. She gave me a little to taste and it was so good. It's a lemon lavender ice cream cookie sandwich thing. And so I wanted to get the classic. At the farmers market today, we tried ice cream that was like South Asian inspired flavors and all of them were so interesting. I liked the roast one the best. Brian actually got the like Indian coffee one and put it in his coffee because I think he didn't really like love his coffee. So the added sweetness definitely made it a little bit better. It was honestly just so hot out today that I didn't want to take home a pint and like have it mill and then like freezer burn. So next time we go to the farmers market maybe we'll bring like a cooler. But I'm going to put away all this food and then I need to go get my toes done for the big shoot tomorrow. I also need to prepare some outfits because I think they're providing a lot of the outfits but I'm kind of worried that like, you know, things aren't going to fit the way I want it to especially cause I'm not picking it out and like they don't really know my body type as much as I do obviously. So I do want to have some backup options just so I can feel like the most comfortable and like confident. And then I also need to bring shoe options. I still have a lot of prepping to do. I also want to like shave my face and oh, also my arms, I should probably do that too. I'm about to head out for my pedicure but I thought I would actually bring one of my own colors cause I feel like they never have a good enough like white pink for my toes. Okay, I really like this one. Sorry if that was a whole lot of focus. Love is in the Bearer is one of my favorites. So I'll bring that where is snow, not that one. And for a specific color this one match with it. Yes, okay, Lisbon wants more. That is like the perfect white pink for toes. I love it so much. So I'm going to bring this with me just in case they don't have a good white pink of their own. Also fun fact, I never leave for the nail salon without my headphones because I cannot bear to sit in silence. So we're bringing that and the nail polish. I'm not particularly loyal to any nail salon really. I just came to organic spa nails on Riverside just cause it's close to my house and the house that I'm going to after this. I don't think I told you guys but my friend just bought a house and I think she's like one of the first in our friend group to buy a house. So we're really excited for her and she asked me to take some photos of them. I usually kind of splurge a little bit more because I don't really get my nails done. I do it myself.  But I don't really know if I'll have time cause we're pushing it. I told her that I'd be over there at 6 p.m. and it's 4 50. So we will see what they say and hopefully that's not a way I called and they were like, yeah, just come in. So hopefully they weren't lying. Just got out of the nail salon and it definitely took a lot longer than I thought but I'm so happy. I actually had a toenail that was cracked for a while and like the gel was kind of holding it together. So I was really, really worried that it was going to be like cracked like a lot lower that they could even like fix. Basically, I thought it was going to be like cut way too short but they look so freaking good. So I'm really happy about that cause I didn't want to have just like a weird toe for tomorrow's modeling gig. But it is 5 50, which is perfect cause I'm literally six minutes away from my friend's house, my friend's new house. And so I'm going to meet her over there and take a couple of pictures. I told them that they should like get champagne and like glasses, make a little like prop scene and hopefully it turns out really cute. They just hit me that not only am I taking photos of them but I'm going to see their house for the first time. And I literally just pulled up like the curb appeal this freaking house has. It's so cute and it's like in a cul-de-sac and I'm just so happy for them. But I'm going to switch my lens. So I'll probably vlog the rest of my iPhone. Welcome to her crib. Wee. So exciting. A lot of hard work. Yes. Right here. Yes. This is where we're going to have our garden parties. That's what she said. Yeah.  Yes. It's going to be so fun. It's going to be fun. I just got the best spot at HUB. I was pulled into HUB because I'm going to do the majority of like my grocery shopping. I feel like Central Market's just for like the fun snacks but now it's serious and I got to get like all the vegetables.   So I'm definitely going to make some cowboy caviar this week and I need a lot of chicken. So that's why I love getting at HUB because I feel like it's the best thing for my buck. They just have so much for like not that bad of a price compared to like Central Market or like Whole Foods or even honestly Trader Joe's. We had ran two of groceries and this time I had to use the wagon because Ryan's still at golf. So I think I'm going to start on dinner or maybe take a bath. We'll see. I just turned on the camera and realized that this happened. So love that. But I just started a load of laundry, just laundry to take it out. So I'm not begging, I can just wash it out. But I'm going to make an easy, quick dinner. We're going to do my favorite freaking rice ever. This is like a 90 second and it's done kind of rice. So we'll pop that in the microwave. We have a little bit of Indian food left over from Friday night. Goat curry and butter chicken, there's like barely anything in the year. So I'll probably just kind of run the goat curry. But we're going to have some of this with the rice. It's going to be so good. I don't think Ryan's ever tried this before. So I'm curious to see how he likes like the lentil stuff like dal and all that kind of stuff. But hopefully with the meat on top, he'll like it. I need a shower. I also need to shave my arms because they're a little bit hairy right now. I got laser hair removal done almost everywhere on my body when I was, I want to say like maybe in high school and I haven't done it since. Like I feel like I should touch up but I just don't really want to go through all that. And my hair growth isn't like as bad as it used to be like before laser hair. So I'm super thankful that my parents let me do it. So we'll shave my arms. I need to shave my face like the peach fuzz and what else, what else? I feel like my hair is like clean enough. They're doing glam and hair there. So I don't have to worry about that. Like I said, the cold times like six a.m. So thank God we don't have to show up with makeup. And I definitely wanted to be in bed a little bit earlier. It's like nine right now and I'm only eating now, which I hate eating the slate.  My thing, Ryan's coming home from golf soon. So let's eat dinner. Maybe watch the summer I turned pretty because I think there's new episode out.  I don't know if you can see. There's kind of a lot right now. Ryan used these Amazon Basics dark plain razors. I wish I had like a magnifying lens. So this could be a little bit more satisfying for you guys but it is satisfying for me because I can actually see it just like little mirror thing I have. Just put some ointment on my top lip because it gets so dry. So I want it to like slug, you know. I've been super cautious about like what I put on my skin lately. But I think I found out about this modeling thing like maybe two weeks ago and I like stopped using any new products. Like I've still been getting a lot of PR that I want to try. But I was like, no, I need to like literally use just like, you know, the things I usually use every day which is the Sunday Riley Luna Oil. I literally love this thing. This is non-ad, but I do have a discount code that is so good that I can't not share it. It's 25% off like anything from Sunday Riley and it is pricey, but I've been using this like on and off for the past four years. And recently I've been just super consistent with it that I actually noticed a huge difference when I use it. So this is supposed to help reduce the size of pores, wrinkles and just like fine lines. And I literally get asked if I have Botox in my forehead sometimes cause it looks, I guess just like smooth and stuff but I literally think it's this oil. And so I call it my magic oil. Their products are honestly just so good but if you have to do one thing, the Luna Oil, especially if you have dry skin is so good. I feel like I just wake up like actually glowing. Like there's like hair in my mouth. But I will put the discount code in the description and also on the screen so you guys can save some money. I did say that there would be like a midday break so I'm hoping that I'm going to be able to edit this vlog cause it's already so late and I have to wake up super early so I shouldn't like stay up and edit this vlog but I'm really trying to really make that Monday, Thursday posting schedule. I know last Thursday I missed it so I just posted on Friday. But I'm really trying to stick to it. So hopefully, yeah, I get a break to edit and I'll bring my computer and everything. I'll just like upload all the footage tonight so that it's ready to go. Yes? Hi. But I have to get everything ready like my outfits and stuff. I just wanna bring some options just in case something doesn't fit but I'm very excited and I'm honestly so honored that they asked me to do this and if you guys wanna find out who it is it'll probably be on my Instagram right now. So go follow me at so underscore gnarly I'm gonna be Instagramming, TikToking all the above. So definitely go follow me over there and subscribe to my YouTube channel and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye.


Hi, I'm Julia. I am from Google. I work as a software engineer on the open source team as of today. Pretty excited about that. And I am so thankful that I get to talk to all of you, first of all, because I have not been able to participate in a community in a long time, and y'all are awesome. So, thank you. But second, I get to talk about whiskey. And I get to talk about machine learning. And since I failed the Turing test, I identify really well with some of these algorithms that I'll be talking about.  This was like a lifetime ago. It wasn't my first or second career. This was my third career. And I did machine learning research. I got to play with robots. I set them loose in the lab and pretended like that was my social life. And I did what any good theoretical computer scientists would do. And I built an autonomous aerial robot, otherwise known as a blimp. This was bubbles. And when we figured out what we needed the robot to do, what we did was we calculated how much lift we would need. And then we said, well, okay, we've got these constraints. What shape can we fit in those constraints? Well, it turns out you can fit a dodecahedron inside the constraints that we have. And clearly, that was the most optimal structure. So, I made a pretty big dent in the world's helium supply, and I apologize for that. We did get like a pity award thrown at us for innovative hardware design, which I think is code for I'm not really sure how this works. And to be honest, I don't know how it works either anymore. But, you know, that was a lifetime ago, and I went into a PhD program for machine learning, and it really wasn't for me. And I was pretty sad because this meant in my naive world view that I could no longer do machine learning, because clearly they check whether you received your PhD before letting you run any of the algorithms. So, I realized far too little time ago that that was not, in fact, true. I can actually do machine learning, and I've gotten the chance to in the past few months. Because, like, at its heart, all machine learning is is taking data, running it through an algorithm, answering questions, getting some sort of insight. And when I first started, I was like, I want to solve the world's problems. I want to be able to help identify disease and make people less sick. And then it boiled down to that there were not enough hugs in the world. So, let's try solving that. So, I built a system called Can I Hug That, which takes an image and tells you if you should hug it. I pulled it out of my hands. I hugged my colleagues. They gave me examples of things they would or would not hug. Everybody says you should not hug a cactus. I agree. But it gave me cool things like this. So, one of the things I trained it on was pillows. So, a crocheted version of an octopus was like, oh, yes, please do hug. But the real thing, no, not so much. I fundamentally disagree but I can't argue with math. But it also did things like tell me not to hug barbed wire and that I should, in fact, hug a garcant perhaps with my mouth. I appreciate this because sometimes I need the sanity check. But what about whiskey? How can I apply this to this amber, the other amber liquid that we love, which I don't have with me right now, that is whiskey, specifically scotch. Well, I only got into scotch about three years ago and that happened to coincide with when I read just a simple tutorial on doing machine learning with a whiskey dataset. And if any of you are machine learning aficionados, you may have seen the one I'm talking about. There's only one of them. But it gave me pointers to some pretty good objective data. And while I'm not great at internalizing matrix operations, I can, however, make computers do them for me, which lets me do some cool things. So let's talk about the data that I have. Just to set some vocabulary, who is familiar with the term feature vector? I'm going to define it, so don't worry. So if you're talking about a 2D space like this, this is your basic X, Y axis, and you have a point, your feature vector is X and Y. If you add a dimension, you get X, Y and Z. That is your feature vector. It basically just describes a data point. If you add in some more, let's say a bunch, it gets a little bit more complicated to visualize because our brains don't fundamentally want to visualize in more than three dimensions. At one point I was dreaming in ten dimensions, and I don't really know what was going on, but it was not a pleasant time. But it gives us the ability to represent all points in a piece of data using one succinct line. So what do we have? What data do I have? Well, this takes my first, this is my gateway scotch. It is not, as I said, for way too long a highland. It is a space side. And this is some of the information that we have about it. We have how robust is the body? What kind of notes does it have? Some of the other ones are smoky, medicinal, stuff like that. And the two that did not come in the data set were the region and the latitude and longitude. Now, the region I painstakingly compiled from Wikipedia, and the latitude and longitude actually came in through a different coordinate system, which is something I learned is that the world does not necessarily operate on latitude and longitude alone, there's another one out there. But if we distill this particular one down into a feature vector, it looks something like this. We get the notes, the latitude and longitude, some of them are strings, some of them are numbers, or ints, some of them are floats. And it goes to something like this. We assign numbers to the strings so we can differentiate between them. And we just condense it into something like this. So this is the Balvenny Scotch. So folks that may have done some matrix operations in the past will note that this is in fact a fully fledged matrix, right? We can use traditional matrix math on this. Who's heard of TensorFlow? That's actually more than I was expecting. TensorFlow is, I've described it as being mostly for folks doing deep learning research. And deep learning research is an area of machine learning that attempts to solve problems we always thought you needed human intelligence to solve. So if you followed the AlphaGo competition, that's an example of deep learning. It was held up as this bastion of there's no way that a machine will ever be able to do this. And I love seeing the commentary because that very much held true in the post-game analysis. But at its heart, TensorFlow is just for numerical computation. It does matrix math fast and pretty simply. It operates with a concept called deferred execution, which lets you define what you're doing and not compute any of it. And then once you've basically coded up your graph and defined what your task looks like, then you can start running it. I'll show you an example. So this is my biggest fear right now, which is where I have to confess to you that TensorFlow does not have a Ruby interface. I'm so sorry. I know. But there is call for one. I don't know if you know this, but the folks at Google, we don't necessarily have many Ruby experts among us. Aja not withstanding. So. And you know, if you would like to contribute, it is open source, so you welcome input. So what does TensorFlow code look like? Well, it's got Python, C, and C++ interfaces. So I'll use the Python one because pointers. So you can use it in like an interactive form, which is what we'll do right now. We'll just kick off a session, so we don't have to mess with state. And we'll just define one simple matrix. This is our whiskey is fun, and it is a matrix that has three rows and one column. And if we say, okay, beer is okay, let's define one with three columns and one row. Which means that we can, in fact, multiply them. However, if we go ahead and print out matrices OMG, what we'll get is what's called a tensor object, which just represents something that we can use in TensorFlow. It does not have a number assigned to it, because we haven't actually evaluated it. All we've done is say what it will have, not what it does. So to be able to evaluate it, we have to call an eval function. And this is when we'll actually get the results of our computation. This is a really big shift for me personally. It took me a while to really get used to something like this. And about maybe at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, it started clicking, so it took me a while. And of course, let's close the session. So what do we have? Well, we have some whiskies. Oh, no. Oh, my God. That did not go well. So let's go back. So we have some whiskies. And I have mapped out the coordinates here. It's just on a nice little Google map interface. And if we hover over them, they're color coded by region. So this is a low lens. Let's find one that I can pronounce. Let's see. Maybe not. Space side. I can say space side. There is in fact a space side distillery. And guess what? It's in space side. So we can see roughly where each of the regions are on the map. If you know your whiskies, if you know your scotches, you're going to have some questions about this map as you should. And we'll get to those later. So the first thing I wanted to do was see what sorts of groupings I could find with this. And to do that, we go to an algorithm called K-means. So K-means has a couple of components. The first is the letter K. The other is the letter means, or the word means. K is your number of groupings that you want out of your data. It's as simple as that. And it takes, so if we had data points in 2D, which this is, I believe, one of the famous manageable data sets called the Iris data set, if we ran K-means over it and specified K as 4, we'd get something like this. And that's really intuitive to us looking at it visually because, hey, well, I can draw circles around them. That's pretty easy. But if you're talking about 10 dimensions, that gets a lot harder, right? So the algorithm is pretty simple. You just pick your number K. That's really weird to say, by the way. And as long as you don't have a good grouping or you haven't exceeded, like, how long you want the algorithm to run, what you're going to do is have each point, each data point assigned to the closest cluster center. And then once you've done that for every data point, you update the coordinates of the cluster center to be the mean of the points assigned to it. And that will eventually iterate you to a roughly good grouping. But it has a big weakness. Can anybody identify it? That's actually one of the first big weaknesses, that that's choosing K. You have to know what K is or else you're going to get really bad results. Anybody else? Yeah. That's a huge one. Picking your initial cluster centers, if you get a bad first go, you're really going to have a bad time because you're not going to get good information out of this at all. And it also means that your results can vary pretty wildly depending on your initial state. There's good research that goes into choosing a good first set. I didn't mess with that this time because it was hard and kind of inexplicable for a conference talk. So let's go to a container that we have. So this container is running, it's just a Docker container that has TensorFlow installed. And TensorFlow, you know, while you can absolutely install and compile it on your own, you probably run into some of the same problems that you have to deal with, which is that you have to deal with Fortran. And every two years I have to deal with Fortran and every two years I say why do I still have to deal with Fortran? Luckily Docker has helped us out with that.  And I'm going to take a data set that has the region, so if it's in space, highlands, lowlands, islands, et cetera, and what flavor profile it has, those flavor notes. We're going to group it into four clusters and we're going to let it go for 10 steps. So that actually goes more quickly than I would like, so let's make that take longer. Okay. So what it's outputting is basically the cluster assignments. So what we're doing is we're getting the results, the assignments, so we have a zero to three in this list. And I'm just zipping it up with the distillery name. If we scroll up, we can actually print out the centroid. So where it thinks the epitome of each cluster is at these flavors. So if we map those, we can see, so this is a previous run, so let's just refresh. And you can see that what we have is a little bit different than the original map we had. First of all, we had six regions, but we only have four clusters here. So if we zoom in, we can see that this scotch is supposed to be similar to this one, the RN scotch. But they're pretty far apart geographically, so it's clearly not determining the cluster centers based on the geography. And that makes sense because we're not passing it the geography. You would think, though, that scotches in similar regions will have somewhat a similar flavor profile, but that's not what proves to be true in this particular grouping. Okay. So I would love to show you the code for the K-means algorithm, and I link to an example at the end of the slides. It turns out that it's a little bit too complex to show in a 35-minute slot, but there is a really good explanation out there. So who's experimented with neural networks? We saw, like, an example of a diagram in Ajah's talk yesterday. So we're going to use a simple feed-forward neural network to try and do the same thing that we did with K-means, which is pick four groups of scotches that roughly go together. So what is a neural network, first of all? It's basically a graph that takes input and attempts to give you output. So in this sense, we're trying to do a movie review and determine if it was a good review or a bad review. So if we look at the review and the text of it itself, we would think that this is actually a good review, but the neural network actually can't get there as stands because what we're doing is we're basically just passing numbers along the arrows to the output node. And this is actually too complex of a task for a neural network as simple as this one. So it will be very confused as to what the output is. This actually made the whole research community grind to a halt in the late 70s because they thought that a neural network couldn't solve XOR. And apparently it can if you add in a hidden layer like this. So what we do is we pass along the words to each input node. Those get transmitted and evaluated by our hidden layer. And each of the lines you can consider as transmitting numbers along. But what the hidden layer is really doing is trying to break down what makes a movie review good or bad at a very high level. So words like great or good or amazing or excellent eventually with enough training would get to a state of good.  So the algorithm for a simple feed forward neural network goes roughly like this. We initialize each of the layers to some set of numbers. And there are good papers out there to talk about how you initialize them. And then we decide how we're going to optimize. For ours we're just using a simple gradient descent optimization. And then we go through and train. What we do is we split up the data that we have into training and testing. So for the whiskey dataset what I'm doing is I'm getting 76 of our instances of our whiskeys and putting them towards training and 10 go to evaluation. So what does this do? So if we do our ANN which is artificial neural network we give it the training data, the file that has 76 of the scotches and the testing data which has only 10. And we give it a certain number of rounds of training to go through. We're going to give it about 12 nodes in that hidden layer and tell it where to give the output. So hopefully this isn't going to embarrass me too much because it has in the past. Oh, awesome. Great. It did. Lovely. So 193, of course. It's always a space, right? It's the least in Python here. So it gives a similar output to the K-means algorithm. But if we scroll up enough we'll get that we have really terrible accuracy into actually grouping it into what we want. I'm going to talk about that in just a minute. But I'm going to violate the cardinal rule of machine learning and see if we just get a better result if I run it again. And now we're on par with a coin flip. Yes. This is great. Oh, my gosh. I'm teaching everybody bad habits right now. And we go back down. So this has actually turned out to be a pretty decent run, this approximated about .7. And if you notice, I'm going to just flip back and forth from the region to the single malts. And you can see in, I believe these are, let's say, one of these are highlands and I believe one of these are space sides, either purple or green. And it's done a pretty good job of differentiating between those. And for really, really good reasons. Really good reasons, I promise. So I had very different goals for this talk than what actually happened. And I learned some pretty valuable lessons. What I wanted to do was take the coordinate system for all of the distilleries and based on a new set of coordinates, tell us what the flavor profile of our Scotch would be. So if I really wanted smoky Scotch with a hint of medicinal, it would tell me, like, whether I was in a good place for it. That didn't happen. Well, first of all, I've been pronouncing everything I've ever said relating to Scotching correctly. And this is especially embarrassing for me, because until I was about, well, this tall, I was a short child, I actually had a Scottish accent. So my diction teacher would just absolutely be horrified at me to hear this. But the problem, not to shift blame here, but the data was the problem, we had about 86 data points for our entire data set. And yes, they had, okay, dimensions, it wasn't tiny, it wasn't just X, Y, but there wasn't enough data. And when you've got a machine learning system, the more examples that you can throw at it to tell it, okay, this input gives me this output, the better. So if you're training, like, an image classifier, like, can I hug it or not? For a very, very basic classifier, it's going to take a lot of images. To retrain one that had already been done took 320 images. And you think about, if each pixel is a data point, that's a lot of data. When I was putting this together and I said, okay, do you think it's reasonable for me to do this? One of my colleagues said, well, that's going to be really hard. Well, K-Means is pretty easy and this is like the basic neural network. It was like, no, actually the data is going to be the hard part. And I disbelieved him. I didn't believe him. He was completely right. So when you saw the map of the different regions, who here saw a problem with the map? I can tell, okay. Well, no, it wasn't really clustered and there's a good reason for that. The coordinates were wrong. And until about Tuesday, it actually put one of my nice single malt scotches in Germany. And I was like, oh, data is never wrong. Like, this has to be right. There just must be this outpost. Yeah, not so much. So my little script to clean up from a coordinate system I didn't understand and clearly still don't. It had some trouble along the way. So when it put one of our smoky PD scotches in the middle of Scotland, guess what? It doesn't actually belong there. This is still rough. When I was doing research, I had this whole system down pat for visualizing and transforming and thinking logically about my data. And that is basically a muscle. And if you haven't exercised it, it's really hard. That said, all it takes is practice. And if you're amongst where I was and still am to a certain degree in saying, well, I don't know if I can ever get that knack, it takes a willingness to fail and ask questions and get better. And I think we've heard sentiments like that echoed throughout both of the days of this conference. And it was nice to see that there was some solidarity out there for mistakes. I really needed more data. And what I should have done is I know a lot of people who really enjoy their whiskey. And the data is not that complex. I should have just started from scratch, created my own data set and compiled it and run it through my algorithms. I could have easily gotten at least 200 data points, which is over double what I actually had. So in hindsight, I should have drawn on the people who were so willing to sacrifice their livers for me and just held a party. So clearly I just need to have more fun. So if you're interested, here are some resources on machine learning, TensorFlow, and the algorithms that I talked about, including this really awesome gentle intro to ML that a few like six months ago I started rereading. And this was great. And it's a good high-level intro to some of the concepts. And if you're interested in getting started, definitely go through it. I described TensorFlow previously as primarily for people doing research. But when people started publishing what they were doing with it, I was really inspired because there were people just tackling problems that I never thought existed. So I think there was a great example of taking a sketch that you drew and saying, okay, I want this sketch to be in the style of Monet and running it through a neural network and applying a style to it. So clearly I don't have to suffer from my own artistic ineptitude anymore. So machine learning and whiskey, the goal or the takeaway is more whiskey. Well, that's really all there is, more whiskey. So to fill the requirement of the theme today, I always have a thank you octopus up there. And now apparently he's going to be armed. So I'm going to back away. But if there are questions, I'm happy to answer. No. Well, so that's a really good question, right? Oh, so how if you took the age of the scotch into consideration, how would it change the data model, the clustering algorithms, et cetera? And that's super interesting because what you would wind up with is just multiple pieces of data for each scotch. And you'd have another comma and you'd have an increased dimensionality for that particular set of scotches. And that would actually be a really good way to easily increase the size of the data set, plus have an excuse to spend multiple hundreds of dollars on scotch. So unless anybody wants to volunteer. There's a question up there? Right. So the question is like if we handed a human the scotches, they're able to group them pretty easily. What's the difference between our capabilities and what the neural network could or couldn't do? Neural networks were biologically inspired to an extent. And there's a lot of difference. When we are tasting something, we're not just tasting that thing in isolation. We're drawing upon years and years, decades upon decades of experience. Maybe not tasting scotch, but tasting things. Good or bad. And that makes us more attuned and able to reason intelligently about what we're tasting. If you think about it, like take the neural network that I created and destroyed in a matter of ten seconds. That's a far cry from 30 years. So it hasn't had the exposure and the training that we have. It has had very specific training, but it hasn't gained the ability to reason as well as a human has. Which is part of the reason that deep learning is such a big area of research. There's a question there? Yeah. So there are classes of algorithms that, so the question is, none of these data sets were streaming. They're all static. And how does that change things? There are classes of algorithms known as online algorithms that take new data as it comes and retrains and trains and trains. And again, the more data that you have coming into the system, the better it will be to an extent with some exclusions apply, footnotes. But it does slightly change how the math takes place and your logic. But yeah, most of the time, the industry seems to switch back and forth between batch, which is what we did, and online training pretty regularly, at least in the time that I've been keeping up with the research. That's a good question. And there are people, so what does the, how many nodes in the hidden layer, like I think to paraphrase is how many nodes in the hidden layer is the right number, and what do they represent? And to really dig into that, you'd have to go into the math behind it. There are good guides for choosing the number of nodes in your hidden layer. I did not follow any of them. So take that for what you will. I tried, like, so one of the thoughts is that the hidden layer basically decomposes your input data and tries to reason about it, like with the movie example. And it will try to learn different aspects of your data. And while we can try and think logically about what that would be for maybe the scotch dataset, maybe that would be flavor, body, and if I had the coordinates in there, it would also have the coordinates. But that's me kind of guessing. I would have to dig into the math behind it a little bit more. A little bit over today. We want to try and gain back some time, so I'm sure a lot of you have questions, because this is fascinating. Please catch up with Julia in the hallway. Thank you.
