Hey guys - We had a technical issue with our cameras during this recording. Our shots are a little more punched in than usual so enjoy the closeups of our lovely faces during this episode!😉 We can't thank Berj enough for joining us up here in the Boston Nut House. He was a key pillar of the New England Patriots during their historic run and we're pumped for him now to be making his debut on a podcast here at GWN! Thanks for tuning in🤟🏈
I had no idea who this guy is. You can tell he’s hardcore man. Says things like “it’s a way of life. These aren’t mottos” or “it’s ingrained in me”. Bill created great men you can tell they lol respect him
The guy from Texas that called in was absolutely so happy when he watched this. You guys are great. And this coming from a ravens fan who has yelled and cussed Edelman my entire life 🤣. Nothing but respect sir.
@@Mikerotch1287 Did you watch Episode 1? Bruschi graciously participated in discussion of one of the games the Patriots lost to the NY Giants: Super Bowl XLII, aka "18-1". Eli Manning was also on that episode.
Edelnut slowly becoming the king of podcasts.. it amazes me how a California kid ended up playing college ball in Ohio.. u seem like a down to earth dude.. great show keep doin u bro
59:38 this guy is a freaking grateful dead head?! Jesus it's impossible to get a read on berj, I would've expected more glam rock or something but definitely not stoner jams 🤣
If we are discussing the old Foxboro/Sullivan Stadium, someone really should address what we fans had to endure. Seats that were basically concrete slabs, old, dilapidated well everything. Years and years of rooting for losing teams (that had just begun to change and none of us dared think it would last, as it never had before). And I saved the worst for last....totally unusable ladies rooms that seriously should have been condemned. They made port-o-potties look luxurious!!! You had to be a legit fan to be there. There was no bandwagon then LOL
I remember the Tuna Bowl well. One thing I'll never forget was Chris Slade's interview after the game. He was hyped about the win, naturally, but he made a comment about Coach (Parcells, I assume) testing him with some runs. What he was talking about was Slade's tendency to NOT do his job. Namely - he would not "contain" the run on his side and would instead speed into the backfield looking for a sack. Slade was a Pro Bowler in 1997, but he was also benched (relegated to Passing downs only) in 1996 (Belichick of course came on board in Week 3 as Tuna's assistant) in favor of Saab. This angered Slade. But I don't think he ever really learned. Belichick especially would say Sacks are the most overrated stat in football. If you have outside contain you had better not let ANYONE outside you on a run - or else he simply wouldn't play you (I have to wonder if the unexpected trade of Jamie Collins in 2016 was for the same reason). A lot of players just aren't smart enough to play for Belichick. Bledsoe for instance - after the comeback in Superbowl 49 against a generational Defense, Drew went on a podcast and said Brady "Didn't really do anything" to lead the comeback. It was like Christ Drew - you STILL don't get it? He could have played with Belichick for 100 years he never would have figured it out.
U got me thinkin...which would he choose? This is a good one, but he's done a thing with Charles Woodson going over the whole tuck rule controversy. Maybe....2001, his first win where his teammates got belief he's the guy. I think in Miami
Boston college is definitely an incredible organization I wish they would get back to their roots and winning again 👀 put so many great players so many great seasons, I do want to see them dominate Notre Dame again lol plus if anyone has heard of the red bandana story from 9/11 he went to Boston college Welles Crowther, a 1999 Boston College graduate, became known as the "Man in the Red Bandanna" after he used a red handkerchief as a protective mask to save up to 18 lives in the World Trade Center's South Tower on September 11, 2001
Just coming back to this one because I just saw Berj at a BV game. I was on the field with my son during warmups and when the team came out. Berj was standing there like 5' away from me. He just kinda looked over at me like "why is this grown man screaming my name like that?" Haha. Just kidding, it was definitely the kid next to me screaming his name, after I told him who he was. Also saw Scott Pioli.
If anyone was ever curious as to why Belichick wore an Armenian flag pin to the White House in 2015 after winning Super Bowl XLIX that was for Berj. Or how when the Acting Secretary of Defense, Christopher Miller, quoted "Do your job" in his November 2020 letter & local media asked Bill to comment about it, he spoke out about the Armenian Genocide and stated that the US should support Aremia against Türkiye & Azerbaijan - that was for Berj too. He's obviously incredibly valued by Bill Belichick. Some of us have known about him for well over a decade.
I was at this game. had 3rd row seats right on the goal line. Sports Illustrated has a photo of Keyshauns catch. My face is to the left of the ball. I took my sister to the game, her face is right where the ball is. she got ball edited
Pod has been awesome! I still think it would be rad to do a JUCO episode with someone else who played JC. Jules was a legend at CSM in that era. Cali JUCO was legit as fuck.
This guy actually selected the photos that were placed on the wall! He’d look at 60 photos. He’d choose 22. I dunno man, the dude’s best talent is having the good fortune of being hired by Parcells. He’s super talented, not suggesting that he’s not. He’d acknowledge that hire changed the orbit of his life.
Don't worry about stupid shit. I'm happy for you and everything good that comes from your dedication to this podcast. When's Bill coming? Tom? C,mon. What you have is incredible regardless of Tom or Bill, but damn that would be like the finest wine or woman or whatever your into. 😂 Keep up the effort and don't worry about the small shit. Pats Fan since Grogan.
Kelce is in LA more now cuz of Taylor and filming so you should def try and get him to come on the show to discuss the Bills v. Chiefs playoff 2022 game.
If I go to sleep and wake up to a never ending version of one of those annoying ‘shoot all the zombies’ adds that can’t be skipped, I’ll know I died in my sleep and am now in hell
Jillian, I would never be proud of a patriot, however I’m quite proud of your pronunciation of Berj’s name. As a fellow Armenian, our names usually get butchered. Thanks brother. Like the show. Keep It up.
Berj would be like the Senate Parlaliamentarian. Another possible role would be like the GAO (Government Accountability Office), given his factual information gathering. 🧐
Do you know what’s annoying? The CMC manager in my league is 2-1. Has a really good roster, and oh… By the way 😒 CMC on IR. Kamara, Aaron jones, Ekeler. Pittman Diggs and Kelce. He’s perfectly fine to sit on CMC all season.

I recall this happening to Norm MacDonald live once
great show and we didnt even notice the picture issue. Good work boys!!!1 Barj reminds me of my principal in middle school
So close to counting nose hairs… back up from these mugs
You should get Bill O in for the game he yelled at Brandy on the sideline.
I think I see a wood booger coming outta jewels nose. It's all good lol
I had no idea who this guy is. You can tell he’s hardcore man. Says things like “it’s a way of life. These aren’t mottos” or “it’s ingrained in me”. Bill created great men you can tell they lol respect him

This is a such a great episode! Berj's insight is so interesting and he's so likable. Edelman kills it as usual too.
Berj is the guy who walks in the lunchroom and brings the conversation to a stop.
The boss' mole.
Well put lmao but somebody's got to do it
I want to be Berj Najarian when I grow up.
For real. Same
For real . Man is an beast
And work those 6am-9pm workdays? And that was when he already had kids? Nah man, that's crazy.
@@robifiser having a good work ethic will get you very far in life
vince wilfork would be cool too
I been waiting for big Vince since this started😅😅😅
Gotta get big Vince on
Him and bruschi are the 2 that I want the most. Rodney Harrison is high on the list too
@@Mikerotch1287 Did you watch Episode 1? Bruschi graciously participated in discussion of one of the games the Patriots lost to the NY Giants: Super Bowl XLII, aka "18-1". Eli Manning was also on that episode.
@@Kitty8791 haven’t seen that one but will immediately
This was easily one of the best episodes considering this was a regular season game. Berj is the man!
Edelnut slowly becoming the king of podcasts.. it amazes me how a California kid ended up playing college ball in Ohio.. u seem like a down to earth dude.. great show keep doin u bro
Edelnut get my Gatorade, hottub 102-103, and and get Randy Moss on the cast bro!
Berj Najarian is a "bank vault" of information. Great episode having Berj open-up the vault for the Patriots.
Awesome Pod. Berj is a legend.
BERJ! Legend in the Armenian community 🇦🇲
He’s been around Bill too much! 😂 He sounds like him at some point many points through out this conversation! 😂😂 Love it!
Awesome interview
Great pod. Great Patriot
I was at the TUNA bowl with my best friend. I was 20 and lived and breathed the Patriots back then.
WE WANT BRADY!!!
Berj would make a good Stasi officer in East Germany
This is awesome!!! I always laugh so much listening to this podcast!!! “Berj’s was out there like Diplo..” 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Jules and Berj!!! 🩷
1:35:06 the guys' reaction to hearing it wasn't a napkin, as if their whole worldview was shattered 😂
As were we😂
“He could eat butter” is such a wild description. Belongs on a tombstone 🪦
Show request: Get Belichick on to discuss the 1990 NFC Championship game, Giants vs 49ers.
1000%!!!!!
Intros get better every week
You can tell he’s crazy smart, devious and under control!
59:38 this guy is a freaking grateful dead head?! Jesus it's impossible to get a read on berj, I would've expected more glam rock or something but definitely not stoner jams 🤣
I was thinking prog-rock like Rush.
Best podcast out there
This podcast is a goldmine of information regarding the Pats dynasty
Great episode. What an interesting POV.
One of the best episodes yet GO PATRIOTS
If u close your eyes Berj sounds just like Bill lmao
Hold up. Did everyone just totally miss Berj doing a Belichick impression at 20:12? That sounded just like Bill 🤣

When Parcels got here in 1993 I said we will no longer be pushed around anymore. That is really when the fruits of the franchise were changing.

What other team had a combo like Berj and Ernie? These guys were involved with everything
Berj knows the score
Bill or Tom needs to come on and do the Snow Bowl, one of the best games in Pats history, and the last one at the old Foxboro Stadium.
U got me thinkin...which would he choose? This is a good one, but he's done a thing with Charles Woodson going over the whole tuck rule controversy. Maybe....2001, his first win where his teammates got belief he's the guy. I think in Miami
It's got to be Bill, first. The truth is, we don't know how much longer he's going to be around.
This guy is the NFL version on Jordan Schlansky from Conan O'Brian.
Hahaha that's so true. He even looks like he prepares his body in various ways
Boston college is definitely an incredible organization I wish they would get back to their roots and winning again 👀 put so many great players so many great seasons, I do want to see them dominate Notre Dame again lol plus if anyone has heard of the red bandana story from 9/11 he went to Boston college
Welles Crowther, a 1999 Boston College graduate, became known as the "Man in the Red Bandanna" after he used a red handkerchief as a protective mask to save up to 18 lives in the World Trade Center's South Tower on September 11, 2001
Finally got my Pats/Dead connection-way to go Berj!🏈💀🌹⚡️🏈
That was my first time going to a pats game and it was awesome!❤
You guys are so hilarious when you're just joking around being yourselves! 😂
Berj to Belichick what Jules is to Tom
Great episode and you can see the connection between you 2. However, it’s clear this guy lives in the background, the camera and him have beef
Just coming back to this one because I just saw Berj at a BV game. I was on the field with my son during warmups and when the team came out. Berj was standing there like 5' away from me.

This guy a madden head coach legend 🔥
This guy is awesome 😂
I remember watching this game. I lived in nyc the newspaper covered this game all week. It was a big deal lol
having wes welker on would be awesome and hilarious
As a patriots fan getting to know Earnie and now berj who we’ve heard about is awesome lol
Looking forward to having Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Adam V, etc episodes
Hahahaha I fucking love these mystery dudes this and Ernie and they’re funny as hell
The big question is, did Berj and Bill get last edit of this podcast?
39:15 "sometimes it's me, sometimes it's probably other people".
Amazing to have Berj on the show. Can we get Nancy Meier on too? Oh the stories she could tell…
You guys should do the 2018 MNF Rams vs Chiefs game… constant back and forth. One of the greatest games of all time.
That’s on our list. Amazing game!
Consigliere Berjjjj
Dude got the dream job or what? 😊 We would not know this job existed if it wasn't for JEdelman. Unexpected interviews are always good.
If anyone was ever curious as to why Belichick wore an Armenian flag pin to the White House in 2015 after winning Super Bowl XLIX that was for Berj.
Or how when the Acting Secretary of Defense, Christopher Miller, quoted "Do your job" in his November 2020 letter & local media asked Bill to comment about it, he spoke out about the Armenian Genocide and stated that the US should support Aremia against Türkiye & Azerbaijan - that was for Berj too.
He's obviously incredibly valued by Bill Belichick. Some of us have known about him for well over a decade.
I'm proposing a "List of Questions to Ask BB When He Finally Comes On" to be started asap :) Also get Billy O on asap.
Imagine the money the NFL would make with an uncut mic’d up from the archives
I was at this game. had 3rd row seats right on the goal line. Sports Illustrated has a photo of Keyshauns catch. My face is to the left of the ball. I took my sister to the game, her face is right where the ball is. she got ball edited
When are we getting Dante in?! it needs to happen!
That guy is awesome
Pod has been awesome! I still think it would be rad to do a JUCO episode with someone else who played JC. Jules was a legend at CSM in that era. Cali JUCO was legit as fuck.
When Jack said Mythbusters, I immediately thought Kyler was Adam and Jaime's lovechild
Naw, he's obsessed w/ hockey; he has to be in Gritty's (Philly Flyers' mascot) family tree. There's a strong resemblance. 😅
What’s up with all of the pats coaching staff saying “you know” all the time lol😂
str8#Homie!
This guy actually selected the photos that were placed on the wall! He’d look at 60 photos. He’d choose 22. I dunno man, the dude’s best talent is having the good fortune of being hired by Parcells. He’s super talented, not suggesting that he’s not. He’d acknowledge that hire changed the orbit of his life.
Don't worry about stupid shit. I'm happy for you and everything good that comes from your dedication to this podcast. When's Bill coming? Tom? C,mon.

Pats Fan since Grogan.
It also helps when you have the top ten defenses. Brady always won when he had an elite defense. It's a team game.
Even when you get to the number one game continue to do the podcast it's interesting Julian
Bill and Brady at the same time would break the internet AND make you guys so much money!!
Berj could be Josh McDaniels father.He looks very similar
58:58 🔥🤣 jayz and j cole
Gotta make sure the football had as certain psi
Kelce is in LA more now cuz of Taylor and filming so you should def try and get him to come on the show to discuss the Bills v. Chiefs playoff 2022 game.
Did you watch the episode w/ Jules on New Heights? The Kelce Brothers have said they'll do GWN. It will happen, but who knows when.
Tough to get Massachusetts out of your heart and soul
Damn, if Berj was in the mafia he would have taken the full sentence. He ain’t naming no names.
If I go to sleep and wake up to a never ending version of one of those annoying ‘shoot all the zombies’ adds that can’t be skipped, I’ll know I died in my sleep and am now in hell
Jillian, I would never be proud of a patriot, however I’m quite proud of your pronunciation of Berj’s name. As a fellow Armenian, our names usually get butchered. Thanks brother. Like the show. Keep
It up.
Did you intentionally call him "Jillian," which is not his name? 🤔 In fact, it's a woman's name . . .
1:17:15 my first year too! on earth! ahh what a time
Who are the two guys up in the computer and research area.
You know a man like this lowkey when he doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page
Dude at times sounds exactly like Bill B
So the coach whisper picks music, pics pics, watches broadcast and organized spaces ...fascinating
Berj would be like the Senate Parlaliamentarian. Another possible role would be like the GAO (Government Accountability Office), given his factual information gathering. 🧐
For Boston! Class of 96' Where the towers on the heights reach the heavens own blue.
Hey Tommy Boy When ??
“Depth persection”😳
Get Von on here to talk about that game Brady got hit 20 something times. Or Mike Vrabel on the crazy Titans/Ravens playoff upset
Berj sounds like a combination of Bill and Seinfeld
Do you know what’s annoying? The CMC manager in my league is 2-1. Has a really good roster, and oh… By the way 😒 CMC on IR. Kamara, Aaron jones, Ekeler. Pittman Diggs and Kelce. He’s perfectly fine to sit on CMC all season.
Anyone else think 'Berj' was a nickname? Just adds to his mystery
Brady went .35-3 v Bills in his Patriots career. Good luck finding that Bills win to celebrate
Berj and Gary Gulman have a similar speaking voice/style as well as some similar facial movements.
Lets get that running back on the show. Mr badger
When’s bill coming on!
what are these zoom ins lmaoooo i work in cameras and this has me dying probably should not use those.
This guy is Toby!!
We now know why Tom left… berj and bill didn’t ever put his photo up on the wall
