00:00And joining us right now on a Patriots Monday
00:02is Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez.
00:04He's brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market,
00:06perfecting the art of fresh.
00:07And by Drains by James, Eastern Mass' top provider of drain
00:11and sewer cleaning repair.
00:13Christian Gonzalez, how are we doing?
00:14How's it feel on a victory Monday?
00:17Going well, feeling good.
00:19Feels good?
00:20Yeah, we heard that the locker room was pretty excitable
00:24after the game.
00:25How was the scene in there?
00:26How would you describe it?
00:29Yeah, I mean, it's hard to win in this league.
00:32So I mean, getting a division game, being able to win,
00:37win at home, it means everything.
00:39So we just got to stack them together and keep going.
00:41You know, we talk every week about all the great receivers
00:43you go up against.
00:44How many are there in the league?
00:46And great performance against Devontae Adams,
00:49one of the best receivers of this whole generation.
00:51What was it like being matched up against him?
00:55Yeah, it was fun.
00:56He's a great competitor.
00:59He's been doing it for a long time at a real high level.
01:02So I mean, being able to do that was fun for sure.
01:06Was there a receiver you liked watching growing up?
01:08And maybe Adams is one of them.
01:09Was there a receiver you liked watching growing up?
01:12Or were you more focused on the other side of the ball?
01:16Uh, honestly, I really didn't watch too much football
01:23growing up.
01:25Did you watch other sports?
01:26Or did you, were you more like horror movies?
01:28I was more of a, I was a cartoon kid.
01:32Cartoon kid?
01:33What cartoons?
01:35Yeah, I was watching Spongebob.
01:37Oh.
01:38And Eddie.
01:39Nice.
01:40Stuff like that.
01:41All right, very good.
01:42Who's your favorite Spongebob character?
01:49I don't know, probably Spongebob.
01:51Probably Spongebob.
01:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:53I like Patrick.
01:54Sure.
01:56What about Aaron Rodgers yesterday?
01:57He looked a lot different when you guys
01:59faced him back in week three.
02:01Seemed like you really had his number.
02:03I know Devon Godshow came out after the game
02:05and was saying he just doesn't look the same.
02:07What was your assessment of Aaron Rodgers?
02:11I mean, that's Aaron Rodgers.
02:14He made some great throws.
02:15He made great reads.
02:19I mean, he's done it.
02:20So I mean, I still think he's a Hall of Fame quarterback.
02:26You win something, you lose something in this league.
02:29So I mean, there ain't nothing that's holding him back.
02:33Patriots quarterback Christian Gonzalez
02:35joining us here on Jones and Keith, WEI.
02:37It's Patriots Monday.
02:38Devon Godshow said he could catch Aaron Rodgers.
02:40He didn't think he was moving around so well.
02:42You think Godshow can catch him?
02:46I mean, I don't know.
02:48That's up to DG.
02:50That's what he thinks.
02:52That's what he thinks.
02:53So you were mic'd up yesterday for the game.
02:56Is that something?
02:57Did you volunteer for that?
02:58You wanted to be mic'd up?
03:02I didn't volunteer.
03:03They just asked me if I wanted to do it.
03:06I was like, all right.
03:07All right.
03:07You give him some good stuff?
03:11Yeah.
03:12Nice.
03:14I know you told us before you're not a big talker.
03:16I don't believe it.
03:18On the field with Devontae Adams or whatever,
03:20what do you think was your highlight?
03:22We haven't seen the clips yet.
03:23What do you think was your highlight there?
03:31I don't know, to be honest.
03:33We'll see when I come out.
03:34I don't know.
03:34Did you feel pressure to talk more?
03:36I know some athletes, like some of the baseball players that
03:39have been mic'd up, feels like they know they're mic'd up.
03:41So then they feel like they have to talk a little bit more
03:44than they normally do.
03:45Do you feel pressure to do that?
03:47No, I didn't think about that.
03:50Nice.
03:51Last week, you were called a soft team by Jarrod Mayo.
03:54We asked this to Hunter Henry earlier today.
03:57What do you think yesterday's win said about your response
04:00and your team?
04:03I mean, it was like he said that, but I mean, it's not.
04:07Nobody took it personal.
04:09Nobody took offense to it.
04:12I feel like it was definitely taken out of context
04:18by people outside of the building,
04:20which you can't control that.
04:23But we just came in, did what we had to do,
04:27and nobody responded to us when he called us out.
04:30Jarrod Mayo also unveiled yesterday,
04:32I don't know if you saw this, but he unveiled a new handshake
04:35with Alex Van Pelt.
04:36Did you get to see that after the Drake May touchdown?
04:39No, I didn't.
04:40No?
04:41He was moving around pretty good.
04:43They had like a whole choreographed thing.
04:45Maybe you should ask him about it.
04:50All right, well, lastly, I got three Halloween-related
04:53questions for you, Christian.
04:55First of all, what is your favorite Halloween candy?
05:05Some sour candy.
05:07All right.
05:08Sour?
05:08Anything specific?
05:12OK.
05:12Very good.
05:13Got it.
05:14Got it, got it, got it, got it.
05:14Sorry to ask about food two straight weeks.
05:18Did you have a favorite costume growing up, something
05:20that you wore trick or treating?
05:33OK.
05:34And do you have a favorite horror movie of all time?
05:41Um, probably just the original Halloween.
05:47Very good.
05:48Very good.
05:49Great one.
05:49Nice.
05:50Good one.
05:50It seems like a lot of your teammates like the Scream.
05:53Yes, the Scream series is one that a lot of your teammates
05:55like.
05:56Well, Christian Gonzalez, as always, fun chat.
05:58We'll talk to you next week.
06:01All right, Christian Gonzalez joining us here
06:04on a Patriots Monday.
06:05I love how he didn't watch football growing up,
06:08but he was a football player for Halloween every year.
06:10Same thing.
06:11He's a mystery wrapped inside a riddle, Keith.
06:13He goes, I'm not really a football guy.
06:16What were you every Halloween?
06:17Football player.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Well, you want to live vicariously.
06:20I actually, I was able to get an advanced screening
06:24of the Christian Gonzalez mic'd up.
06:26Do you want to hear it?
06:27Yeah, please.
06:27All right, I'm going to play it right now.
06:31What do you think?
06:32Pretty good?
06:32Is it just out there, just running around the cover,
06:34people not saying anything?
06:35Not a word.
06:36Who are the ad wizards behind that?
06:38They're like, you know who you got to get mic'd up.
06:39He was like, no, you can't shut him up on the field.
06:41We got to get a Christian Gonzalez.
06:43It does beg the question, why does the man do so much media?
06:49He loves it.
06:50He's like, I'm kicking it up.
06:52Mic him up.
06:52Sure, mic him up.
06:53Yeah, mic him up.
06:54Radio interview every week.
06:55Yeah, let me get on there.
06:57Let me get in line.
06:59It's a sour.
07:00We did at least get an answer out of him.
07:03No, the answers were there, but it's like a Tom Brady
07:06like response time.
07:07No, Sour Patch Kids, Halloween.
07:09Football player.
07:10We got three.
07:11So if you just hear that, you're like, I already answered them.
07:14He must be listening on a cup with a string.
07:16Maybe there is a cup.
07:17How long does it take for these questions to get to him?
07:18Was he in London for that?
07:20Did we get a delay?
07:21It might have been.
07:21It's a better read than it is listened.
07:23I agree with you, Keith.
07:24His answers look better in print, for sure,
07:26than they do on the air.
07:27I'm actually sour candy.
07:29I'm excited about the highlight reel of the mic'd up.
07:33Aren't you now?
07:33Aren't you kind of like, what on earth?
07:35What is being said?
07:36What's being not said?
07:37And it's, oh, what's he leaving out?
07:39Man, good stuff.
07:41Well, and for the record on the text line,
07:43we are told who we get.
07:45That's all.
07:45We're told who we get and not when we get it.
07:47And not even times.
07:48That might be you guys.
07:49Every week I go, more Gonzalez, please.
07:51That's what I do.
07:52Can I put in a formal request?
07:53They go, no, no, no.
07:54Here's Kendrick Bourne.
07:55Here's Gonchow.
07:55I go, no, no, no.
07:56Those guys were great.
07:57No, please, more Gonzalez is what I say every week.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Yeah.
08:01I'm starting to wonder, are those guys great,
08:03or do we just grade it on a curve?
08:05No, those guys are good.
08:06Those guys are good.
08:07I think those two are good.
08:08I agree.
08:08I think those guys are good.
08:09Those two.
08:10Jeremy Springer's very good.
08:11I like Springer.
08:12That's in the coordinator series.
08:13That's different than your past one.
08:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:14It's your patron's Friday.
08:15Friday.
08:16Yeah, now you're crossing.
08:16Oh, speaking of player streams, I
08:18assume Hart and Arcan are going to get Jacoby Percet today.
08:22Yes.
08:22I believe the promo we're running says Percet.
08:24Oh, perfect.
08:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:25All right, so he might be interesting here.
08:28He had a good line in the postgame being like,
08:30I don't listen to y'all or whatever.
08:31Yeah, I'll listen to you guys.
08:33Good, good.
08:33So it's interesting.
08:36But no, he's missing some pretty good interviews with us.
08:39If he's not listening to us, that's a him problem.
08:42Do you find it weird that none of them saw the high five
08:45with Mayo?
08:46Like, do you believe both Hunter Henry and Christian Gonzalez
08:48didn't see it?
08:49Yeah.
08:50You believe they didn't see it?
08:51I believe Hunter Henry, he was on the field when it happened.
08:54So I could see him celebrating with Drake May
08:56and not seeing it.
08:57Because that happened immediately on the sideline.
08:58OK, I get you not seeing it in real time.
08:59You don't see it like, yeah, you don't like
09:01see it after the fact.
09:02It was everywhere on social media.
09:03I get that these players, well, I
09:05say they don't live on social media,
09:06but a lot of them probably do.
09:07But are they worried of saying anything?
09:11Like, that would seem odd.
09:13They all say whatever comes to their mind.
09:14Why are they all pretending they didn't see the video?
09:16Or did they really not see the video?
09:17Maybe they didn't see it when they cut to it immediately.
09:20They cut to it right away.
09:21No, I don't.
09:21It's true.
09:22I'm curious.
09:24Most people on the text line seem to be on our side.
09:27There's one that I'm, what would you
09:29have asked Christian Gonzalez?
09:31One person's blaming the questions.
09:32Well, I'm just curious.
09:33What would you have asked?
09:34Well, here's what I would think.
09:36When the man says he likes cartoons
09:37and he says he likes SpongeBob, you would go, all right.
09:41Maybe there's some, both of us legitimately perked up.
09:43I was like, great.
09:43He just gave us something.
09:44Because some of these guys, even though Belichick's gone.
09:46I don't even care what it is.
09:47But the man just gave us something.
09:48He likes SpongeBob.
09:49Great.
09:50Who's your favorite character?
09:53Now you're kind of in that LeBron territory.
09:55Oh, yeah, you love the Godfather so much?
09:57What's your favorite quote?
09:58Oh, I don't know, all of them.
09:59Like, all right, well, you got to pick one.
10:01No, so this is one of those things where.
10:03I mean, SpongeBob, I get liking SpongeBob.
10:06He's the main character.
10:07I thought we were going to get a deeper cut than SpongeBob.
10:09Maybe a Squidward.
10:11Squidward, no, but he just went with the.
10:13Yeah, that would be pretty on brand.
10:14Maybe, what's the, Mr. Krusty the Crab?
10:17What's his name?
10:18Mr. Krabs.
10:18He didn't have a favorite football player growing up.
10:20And yet, every Halloween, he was a football player.
10:24Do you think he was for his Pop Warner cost?
10:25His look like Pop Warner.
10:26I think he's messing with us at this point.
10:28I think he's messing with us.
10:29Is that what's going on?
10:30Yeah, yeah.
10:31He's like so next level and committed to the bit.
10:34I think so.
10:35Because he's also the same guy.
10:36And you know me.
10:37So like some of them, even with Belichick gone, they don't.
10:41They feel like they're going to give stuff away, right?
10:42Not all of them.
10:43If we had some of these receivers on, I'm sure they would tell us
10:46how they feel about their contracts and playing time and everything else.
10:49Gonzalez still has that like Belichick talking to the media in him.
10:53And so one of the first times we talked to him.
10:55So we talked football, right?
10:57But, you know, I'm happy talking about other stuff.
11:00And so we asked him, he said he was watching a lot of TV.
11:04Like he brought that up and not even us.
11:06Right.
11:06So I was like, oh, here's an opportunity.
11:07Yep.
11:08And remember, we're like, what are you watching?
11:09And he goes, whatever's hot on Netflix.
11:14I was like, like what?
11:17And he didn't like name a single show.
11:18So I don't even know if that's true or what it was like.
11:21It was a SpongeBob.
11:22Maybe he's just watching SpongeBob.
11:23Maybe. And that's fine.
11:24If he came on, I was like, guys, I love SpongeBob.
11:27And all I do in my free time is watch SpongeBob.
11:29I'm like, all right.
11:30He does like the Halloween films. That's you.
11:32You like he likes the original Halloween.
11:34That's a great pick.
11:35Excellent pick. Tremendous.
11:37In fact, those were on. What do you like on Halloween?
11:39Oh, I like Halloween. Who do you like on SpongeBob?
11:41Oh, I like SpongeBob.
11:42Good point.
11:44See, maybe he's messing with us.
11:45Yeah. Would you rule that out?
11:47Yeah. OK, I would.
11:48I mean, I would, but I look at the questions
11:51go right over my head, Keith.
11:52I'm just I'm too simple.
11:53I know we did a horrible job with the questions.
11:55I thought the food thing two weeks in a row might set them off.
11:57But he doesn't remember last week.
12:00No, that's three seven ninety three seven.
12:03Gonzalez mic'd up is just going to be a lot of heavy breathing
12:08and hopefully like picking up other players talking around them.
12:11It's just other players like quieter.
12:15It's like, I don't know, maybe make up one of the other
12:17ten guys on defense, maybe.
12:19OK, yeah, something if you missed, if you missed any of it, it was pretty good.
12:23He thinks it's like an Andy Kaufman.
12:25Somebody thinks it's an Andy Kaufman like bit.
12:26Yeah, I remember like when Joaquin Phoenix went on Letterman,
12:29it might be one of these.
12:30Ryan Garvin was convinced that Tristan Cassis is doing this.
12:33I think it's the best Garvin take ever.
12:35That one, I believe this one, not so much.
12:36Tristan Cassis just committed to the bit.
12:38He is a fake character.
12:39That's not what he's really like. Right.
12:40I 100% agree with that.
12:41This seems Gonzalez seems a little bit more genuine.
12:45No, no. We have the kind of mayo being like, yeah, he's not a talker.
12:47He's not really a talker.
12:48You know, that's every Monday, you know, and say, huh?
12:52So anyway, it was pretty good.
12:53If you missed any of it, it's Odyssey app.
12:54A.U.D.A.C.Y.
12:56Gonzo is a man of few words.
12:58Every, every, every Monday here on Jones and Keefe.
13:00You're not too much of a talker?
13:03No, I'm not. I'm not too much of a talker.
13:05I'm going to take the under on few.
13:06Oh, my God.
13:09No, but seriously, every Monday on Jones and Keefe, by the way,
13:11check it out on the Odyssey app.
13:12So is he mic'd up with CBS or is it a separate thing?
13:15NFL Films.
13:16Oh, NFL Films mic'd him up?
13:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:18What are they going to do with that?
13:20What is there?
13:21I don't, I don't.
13:22Like, come on.
13:24Like, they had to think about this a little bit.
13:26Yeah.
