I played 24 snaps in the AFC Championship.
Cooper DeJean 0:02
24 in the AFC Championship?
Julian Edelman 0:04
AFC Championship. How did that happen? 24 snaps to offense, 22 snaps to defense, and 12 snaps to special teams. I played quarterback in high school and college.
Reed Blankenship 0:13
So you didn't switch to the NFL? I didn't switch to the league. Do you ever wish you stayed as a quarterback? Absolutely not.
Julian Edelman 0:21
No, the first day I got to minicamp, first day the vets come, Tom Brady, you know, he rolls up in the line and he's throwing deep balls to Randy Moss. He's throwing deep outs. I'm like, yeah, I did the right thing. Probably can't play quarterback watching them throw the ball. Gronk's kilt was like a miniskirt from like a broke-year-old school girl or something.
Reed Blankenship 0:47
We're live. First live show me and Reed have done. So this will be fun right here at Fanatics Fest in New York City. So Reed made his way up from Houston. H-Town, baby. Now we're ready to go. You ready?
Cooper DeJean 1:02
Yeah. No, we're excited. How are you doing? How's New York City treating you?
Reed Blankenship 1:05
I'm excited. It's my second Fanatics Fest, so... I just got here, but I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of the fans and, you know, talking to you a little bit and our special guest, so. You know who our special guest is? Yeah. Who is it?
Cooper DeJean 1:21
Who is it? Let's hear it. Is he? Yeah, he's right back here. Our guest today has three Super Bowl rings, a Super Bowl MVP, and this summer an actual job title with FIFA. That's more championships than the two of us combined. So obviously we're already losing.
Reed Blankenship 1:41
He spent 12 years in New England. Patriots Hall of Fame as of last September. And somehow the biggest headline all summer was him wearing a kilt with his buddy Gronk. So we got a lot of questions. Everybody welcome out Julian Edelman.
Cooper DeJean 2:01
Yeah. Yeah.
Reed Blankenship 2:07
All right, we got to start here, though. We got to talk about what's been going on up in Boston.

What happened at Fanatics Fest NYC and how was Julian Edelman introduced to the live audience?

Reed Blankenship 2:12
You were the hospitality captain of the World Cup?
Julian Edelman 2:15
I was the hospitality captain of the World Cup in Boston.
Reed Blankenship 2:18
You weren't using that title to get free tickets?
Julian Edelman 2:20
I used that title specifically to get free tickets. Specifically in two locations. That was in the negotiation.
Cooper DeJean 2:27
Now, you were a kill, right? Oh, yeah. So I guess one question I got, like, did you feel a lot of breeze? Did you have a lot of air underneath or did you cover it up?
Julian Edelman 2:38
So let me paint the picture for everyone. I went to Boston. I went and hung out with the Tartan Army, which is the Scottish fans. They're absolutely bananas, crazy people. They drink absolutely every ounce of beer in Boston. That's not a lie. but they're like the coolest people. And so their whole thing is they wear kilts. So I put on a kilt, me and Gronk put on kilts. We ended up going and climbing this statue to put a cone on the head. And it does have a lot of airflow to get back to your question. So how long, how long? Well, mine came to like a traditional kilt. Gronk's kilt was like a mini skirt from like a prokero school girl or something.
Cooper DeJean 3:23
It was crazy. They made y'all climb a statue? They made you climb a statue?
Julian Edelman 3:27
They didn't make us, but there's the George Washington statue in the Boston Gardens, and I've walked by it a thousand times, and I saw dudes climbing it, so I took my shot, and I went for it. Grog's holding me up because it's pretty high. How tall is this thing? It's probably like you have to get up 13 feet. And so you have to climb on this thing. And Grog's like holding me up like a male cheerleader. I'm like up doing a pose. It was pretty terrifying.
Reed Blankenship 3:59
So did you go to the games wearing the kilt or no?
Julian Edelman 4:02
No, I didn't go to the game wearing the kilt. No.
Reed Blankenship 4:04
How many games did you go to?
Julian Edelman 4:05
Didn't go to any. Really? Didn't go to any.
Reed Blankenship 4:08
You just held it down at the bar with all the Scottish fans?
Julian Edelman 4:11
I was just hanging out at the bar with the Scottish fans.
Cooper DeJean 4:15
I love it. I mean, I would do the same thing.
Julian Edelman 4:17
Why not?
Reed Blankenship 4:19
They probably had a great time.
Julian Edelman 4:20
They had an insane time. The energy in Boston. Now, I've been in Boston for basketball championships, baseball championships, hockey championships, Super Bowls. The energy with the World Cup was like completely different. You got like a whole group of different type of people and they're all like celebrating.
