Next, 3x Super Bowl Champion, 2016 NFL rushing TD's leader, 8 year NFL veteran, LeGarrette Blount joins Pat and AJ Hawk to chat about his new CBD business, what he thinks of the Patriots spending all this money, if Carson Wentz is a dude, if he thinks anyone can fill Bill Belichick's shoes, and more (51:06-1:13:27).

0:06.4	Hey, we're talking earlier. This really is like throwback episode kind of it does. And now there
0:11.0	might be a lot of new people or whatever to the to the train. We appreciate the hell out of you.
0:15.4	We know there's some OGs out there as well. I think today is going to be a show that kind of
0:20.4	showcases what this show can be if it has to be a little bit of range. I think so. You know,
0:26.5	we're sports stooges, but if it does involve sports, we will stooge about it. Oh, yeah.
0:32.1	In a pretty good fashion today, we can't thank you enough for joining us. And by the end of the

1:31.9	life is not going to be a long one. Most people climb with ropes and belaying and everything. This guy
1:37.2	has become famous because he climbs these sheets of rock, these mountains, these cliffs with no ropes
