Man, I can practically taste match day. This summer, the 2026 FIFA World Cup hits your backyard, and I'm already in the zone. My perfect patio setups got to have burgers on the grill, a freshly mowed lawn, and all my buddies overwatching the game. One thing not in the cards for my next watch party? Last-minute stress. And that's where the Home Depot comes in with the assist. Fast free delivery on over 2 million home items keeps the focus on the match, not my to-do list. Grill out of charcoal? No sweat.

**Jason Kelce** (1:33)
Do you have a favorite Gronk story?

**Tom Brady** (1:35)
I got a good one. I got a good one. All right. You know, like a lot of receivers, tight ends will work on catching drills.

**Jason Kelce** (1:40)
Yeah.

**Tom Brady** (1:40)
Hit the jugs machine, you know, a hundred catches and all the receivers did it. I never saw Gronk ever do any catching drill ever. Every ball I throw to Gronk, like he'd have these big white gloves, right? And we put his hands up like this. It looked like the top of a trash can that I would try to hit.
And he would go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He would like, he had like a smile on his face. The ball would just stick to his hands, right? So it was like unbelievable. So one day it's like his third year in the league, all right? And we're at practice and I throw him a ball and it like hits like the palm of his hands and like falls on the ground. And Gronk looks at me and is like, what, what was that? Like what just happened?
So he goes, Tommy, throw me the ball again. And I took the ball and I fired at him and he fought it. And it was like, he gained his confidence right now.

There's like a scent to you that I just like being around.

**Travis Kelce** (2:54)
It's called Louis Vuitton Imagination.

**Jason Kelce** (2:57)
Do you know that perfumes actually use foul or rotten things in their perfumes because it lasts longer and elicits certain pheromone responses out of the nostrils?
