Speaker 1 (00:00):
Calm Down with Aaron and Krissa is a production of
I Heart Radio. Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast.
It's that time again. Aaron, you're back in l a.
I'm up at the lake. We're not together, we're not
at a seminar, and there's no Chris Myers. Please don't
tune out. I promise we'll be just as entertaining. What's
going on over body. I mean I went back and
(00:23):
listened to that podcast, and I actually, here's the funny.
We drove from our home in Montana to the airport.
It's about an hour twenty drive. You you were on
it with me. I made Jared listen to our podcast
and he was like, this is funny, this is good.
Now hopefully other people think that. But he obviously knows Jillian,
he knows Chris Myers. But he really was like entertained,
(00:47):
and there were things in it I didn't realize, like
Chris being two different voices when he called the station
in Miami. That was a hoot. I work in television,
not on televisions. I mean, this guy is just pure
entertainment and he's loved every minute of it. My favorite
part is I saw Jillian again in Canton when we
did the Hall of Fame game. And we'll get to
that after the break. But she was saying, Chris Myers
(01:10):
has not only retweeted, but retweeted your retweet on your
retweet for those of exciting last week's episode. Chris Myers,
who Aaron and I have both worked with for a
long time and you guys even split a sideline over
the years during the playoffs. But um, he's quite the character.
If you haven't listened, go back and listen to it.
(01:31):
I need a light in he it's very dark. Um.
But anyway, so recapping from that, so, we were in
Arizona for the seminar, as we mentioned last week, the
seminars where everyone from all the different announced crews gets
together because the football season is right around the corner
and so we never really get to see like I
don't get to see you outside of like you know,
personal like hanging out work reasons. Um, you're on the road,
I'm in studios. So and he was, it's a good
(01:52):
chance to like, well, for me, drink way too much
and not remember half the things I said, which is
a Wednesday. I remember something you told my producer, which
I want to recount, which by the way, by the way,
his bride was at the party that I was at
the other night, and I was like, let me see
you one two steps. Um. Anyways, but back to us, um.
So when I left you, you went off to Canton
(02:14):
and worked your first game. How did it feel where
you like, I'm excited to get back out there? What
was happening? It was cool. It was super weird, I'll
be honest, because out here in l A and I,
you know, watching the news, everybody is just so worried
about being massed up. And on the sidelines, we are out,
we are about we are proud. And it was interesting
because for the pregame pre game, for the preseason game,
(02:37):
we can actually interview the players. I interviewed coach McCarthy
right before kick with you Racking. By the way, you
were great. I was. I was so excited just to
like see you back in action. I've like like made
me so. I sat on the couch and I was like,
football is back, and like just even the whole like
set up of everything made me excited. Sorry to interrupt,
kick go, Yeah, it was cool, right, Like if you're
(02:59):
a big sports fan, and I thought our pregame was awesome.
It was great to see the guys there. It was
great to see them together the whole um. Did you
see the feature where they did the whole behind the
scenes of telling coach Johnson. I was crying crying the
field watching it. And how cool is it though, that
now every single person on that set, Terry, Jimmy, Howie Stray,
(03:20):
they will all have gold jackets. Yeah, the Hall of Famers.
It was so cool because you see them all sitting
there in Troy was there too, But then Jimmy was
that one person the long overdue honor that he is
now part of a very elite class of coaches and players.
So really cool to see. But were you just stoked
to be back out there. Yeah, it was cool. It
was weird. It was strange to be down on the sidelines.
(03:41):
Remember we've been separated from everybody for a year. We
were up in the front row and a moat section.
Guys were waving to us from afar and here comes
coach McCarthy right with I'm like yelling at Dallas pr
on like ten seconds, five seconds because those are so
hard right before the kick. The coach doesn't want to
do them, but fully. Coach McCarthy was so great about it.
(04:02):
But they're worried about, you know, getting their their playsheet,
like everything altogether. You know, the first couple of plays
are scripted and they want to be set. And here
he is answering my questions. He's holding a microphone. He
comes near me. I scooped back, I scooped forward, he
scoops back. It was just so crazy, but um, it
was a lot of fun. Dallas's sideline obviously Dak wasn't there,
and hope Doc is doing okay with that shoulder strain.
(04:25):
Talked to Ezekiel. He wow, you were going to be
blown away if you see Zeke in person this year.
He's dropped ten pounds. He says, he's the weight he
was at when he was a freshman at Ohio State.
He he walked up and I go, this is ten pounds,
And I guess I didn't understand the way I said it.
He goes, what and I go, no, you look unbelievable,
like and you never think those guys are big at all,
(04:47):
and it's not like he was, but ten pounds on
Zeke gone is like whoa Danny. I mean, he already
had those abs he looked great. Ben Roethlisberger, I love
seeing that. I don't know what your relationship is with him,
but he's always been so wonderful to me, and uh,
I was so excited to see him. Peter Schreeger texted
me and he goes, only you can make Ben smile
(05:08):
And I was laughing with Pr and PR was like, well,
that's because you don't see him every week to piss
him off, you know, so, but he's yeah, I love that. Yeah,
he actually because we don't do or even when I
was doing sidelines, it was all NFC, so you don't
really see these guys in the a f C. But um,
my time with Ben was when I was doing the
Shack Versus show and it was Shock versus whatever respective
(05:30):
athletes from a hundred years ago, and so he was
the football player he took on, which was great. But um,
I'm happy for Ben. I mean, look, it's been well documented.
His trials and tribulations off the fields come out of that.
He's a father, he's you know, he's married, and um
gotten himself through a lot of injuries and look, he's
been the staple of that team now for a couple
(05:50):
of decades. So it's cool to see him back out there,
and Dac was adorable during the halftime. Did you get
to see any of it? I did, Yeah. Actually, because
I didn't have to do halftime interviews, I could actually
sit there eat a crustable because that's all you can eat,
and because it's hard to like to try to have
food down there, and the fans are staring at you
and your shoving crap in your mouth, so that's never
(06:12):
a good photo when they take that. Um. Wait, so
I watched Dak. We actually have I'm gonna jump ship
because we're gonna get to we like to take fan questions.
Thank you guys for those of you that wrote in.
But it makes sense right here because one of the
fan questions, which we'll get to a lot of them
to your previous point after the break, but there was
a question for you on here. It's said favorite snack
to eat during a game on the sideline or in studio.
(06:33):
This was from Valerie Reactors. So if I'm saying your
last name wrong, I'm sorry, But UM, tell people you're
always talking about these. It's not an ad. Crustables, smuckers, crustables. Please,
I would love this to be an ad. I mean,
I don't think there's anybody that eats crustables more than me,
and and and this is on Thanksgiving. Explain what they day.
(06:55):
So crustables are basically a mini peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
You can get them in grape jelly. You could get
him in strawberry jelly. You keep him in the refrigerator.
I like them toasted, but on the sidelines, we don't
travel with toasters. Um I could, I guess put them
in front of those like heaters that they the boys
are lined up against when it's cold out. But they're
so easy. Our crew keeps them in the fridge. They
(07:17):
throw them and it's like m M, I mean I again,
we do games on Thanksgiving Day, we do them on Christmas.
And there's nothing says football sidelines to me that like,
I'm crust of all and don't say while you demonstrate
how you eat it. But they're delicious and they're listen,
they're quick, they're easy. I can have them down there.
It's so funny because not to go off on a tangent,
(07:37):
but this wouldn't bear the podcast if we didn't. Uh
Coach Bowden obviously passing away the other day and thoughts
and prayers to his family. I love coach Bounden. I probably,
I was telling my husband, probably did about fifteen to
twenty Florida State games in my college career, maybe even more.
But when I worked the beginning part of my career
at ESPN, I was a little thicker. And I know
(08:01):
why I was because on the sidelines I'd crush Eminem's cokes,
hot dogs, chicken fingers. I mean, I wasn't really conscious
of the lbs, you know, and the fact that maybe
wasn't getting a good work out the next morning. So
those days that was my snack. Now I tried to
be more conscious with I'll do some sort of almond,
maybe a nut um. I work with a group called
(08:25):
How's Bakes that are actually you have When I was
at your house in Montana, couldn't eating them. Yeah, yeah,
they're like healthier snacks. Troy Aikman and myself we endorse them.
We love them. I and I also like putting electro
lights in water because if you think about it, we
don't really get to drink very much down there. A
lot of the times I just forget, so staying hydrated
as a big one. But that's the long version of
(08:46):
what I like to eat on the sidelines? How did
we get into this subject? It doesn't watching Dak at
halftime eating a crust of ball ceedee lamb. I got
to interview him in the third quarter. Schrager bombs texting
me and he goes, how cool of a cat is
that guy? And I guess I really didn't realize, like
he was so sweet and this was the first time
I got to be close to him and talked to
him again because last year we weren't on the sidelines. Yeah,
(09:08):
but he's a smooth, smooth dude. I guess he's had
yet another great camp. I'm excited to see him in action.
Who's Your? I was pumped, Who's your? Who's your? Week
one game m HMS Packers at New Orleans which today, Wow,
there's a lot of drama with Michael Thomas. Huh. That
(09:28):
was all season last year. I mean anyways, but it's
a developing story, so we'll just leave that right there
until there's you know, some more information there. But um, well, good,
I'm excited that you were, you know, Jack to be
back up on the sidelines. And second, oh my god,
I was texting you being like I'm just so stoked that, like,
even if it's a Hall of Fame game and it
(09:49):
doesn't matter, it's preseason and not all the starters are in,
just to see football back. And I think a lot
of that has to do with think about it this
time last year during quarantine, and we didn't know if
there was going to be a season. You didn't know
if you were going to be able to be like
in games were the announced crew is going to be
broadcasting from the studio. It was a whole thing. So
I think that now that we know, and specifically for you,
(10:10):
that you can do your job. It's different when you're
there and your clothes and like not having to ask
questions from row B. So I'm excited for you. Um,
you have a summertime glow. I know you just left Montana,
which I'm sad that that means that's the Killerman camp
is over for you. But yeah, you guys, I do
have some makeup on. I had a Zoom interview today,
(10:32):
you know, trying to land another job, but not from
Fox or anything like that. But you know, much like you,
I can't have enough jobs. But speaking of Glow, kind
of if you want to get up in personal and
I didn't even get a chance to call you today
because I've been rushing the freak around. Today kind of
got some big news. So I've been trying like full disclosure.
(10:52):
I've been really open about my fertility journey. I've been
trying like hell. Which you were at my Montana house,
so you saw all the like, which is potions pills
that you guys take. I left Montana being like, first
of all, I need to drink more water because this
broad is like constantly drinking water. She was drinking the
olive oil, the Saints supply olive oil. Yeah, she was
(11:13):
taking these tea, drinking these teas before bed. Meanwhile I'm
breaking corks five drinking more wine before But I'm like,
you're doing all the things right. That's why that hair
of yours is real and mine is in a baby pony.
I'm gonna start doing the aeron Andrew's regiment of like
hoceans and potions. But tell me what was your there
obviously working? What's going on here? My fake hair has
arrived for this season. I'm gonna be like sewing it anymore.
(11:35):
We're gonna clip it in. We're gonna clip it in
and see how she goes, I just have been trying
and trying, and I go for an ultrasound, not to
be graphic, but all our ladies, which, by the way,
when I did kind of share our fertility struggle, we
had a lot of d m s towards that and
people were saying, be more honest, So I will. So
I've just been trying and like things haven't been going well.
(11:55):
And today yet again in the stirrups at eight thirty
in the morning, um, and he's just like, let's go,
let's freaking go. We're gonna go and try meds today.
So we're going, and it was so funny. I said
to him. I go, that's great. What does this mean?
I go, am I? And this is literally how I
talked to my doctor and I love him so much. Um,
(12:15):
I literally said, wait, am I? Matt Stafford and Dak Prescott?
Where I haven't thrown? Uh, you know a ball all
preseason and you're going to throw me in for like
regular season? Like where am I? And he goes, you
know what, We're on the thirty yard line, on the
thirty yard line and we're starting, like, let's I go,
Like I've never I was telling you I was so happy.
I've never been more like excited to stab myself with
(12:39):
h H and hormones in my fire life because like,
I just know that, like we have this what eleven
fifteen days and we got to go for it. So yeah,
like happy. And then I met a fantastic acupuncturist slash
healer slash osteopath in Montana and she said, today's a
new moon, so this could mean a lot out of things.
(13:00):
So new moon, new follicles, new syringes, let's go. I'm
into it. By the way, you and Tom Brady of
IVF come on, if you know I tell you that
all the time. I'm like, what we were quitting Now
we're not quitting on anything. This game is open. You
know what transferred to Tampa and win another ring? Why
not make some adjustments. But you're I'm so proud of you,
and I'm I mean, I tell you this all the time,
(13:21):
but being open and honest about your situation isn't easy
and it is very personal. And I know that you
have now motivated me. I need to go do another round.
I need to you know, there's no excuses, and we
have too many people in our lives that we know
that have struggled in similar but yet different ways. And
if it's this isn't you know a reminder to all
of us that we only have a short window. So
(13:41):
good for you. It's a testament to who you are.
You never give up and when you know one door closes,
you open up a window, sister. So I'm proud of you.
I'm happy for you, and I'm here to support you
in any way that I can. The lady sat me
down today to go over instructions. I go. I gotta
be honest, it's my seventh time doing IVF. How much
of this has changed. But Chrisa, you've been there with me.
I mean, doing these drugs is like it is a
(14:04):
reality show. I mean the fact they trust us mixing
this ship is insane. It's a meth lab in your
house completely for anyone that's crazy, never done these. They
literally send you home with all these syringes, all of
these things. And they're also supposed to like time sensitive
of like you have to take it at a certain time.
You know me. Please, There's a reason that I was
never on birth control because I could never take the
(14:25):
pill on time. I would have been pregnant. Nineteen times.
I might just put the I D and hell, it's fine,
No one cares. I share that I have bowel issues
as well on this podcast. Now that was great, but
it it really is. It's like, I don't know how
they trust us to do this, but you're unfortunately, unfortunately
you are you know, well versed in this now at
this point, so it probably makes it easier. And a
(14:47):
lot of it has to do with your mental state
that you're in such a good place this time. I'm
just rooting for you always, love you, love you well
seven seven times a charm. This has to be a
good Who do we love? John Away? You know, just
go ahead, John. I don't know if we give you
we trust you making draft picks, but you've done a
great job in your Hall of Fame career with your
(15:08):
rings um and your car dealerships. There's not a car
that guy hasn't sold. I want to counts. I heard
it is pretty good too. Oh um, my hairs went.
Because I'm up in the lake. I try to go
for a run real quick before we got on here.
And let me just tell you that altitude you and
I went for a hike when we were in Montana
and the best part. So Aaron was very sweet and
(15:28):
invited me to her beautiful place in Montana and she's like,
let's go for a hike. Do you want it easy
or a hard one? And I was like, let's do
a hard one or in our cocktails. And we're like
halfway through the hike and I was like, where do
we How far is this hike? And she points up
at this mountain like Uncle Rico and she's like, we're
going up there and I was like, holy sh it,
Like that was quite the hike and then with the
(15:49):
outs do but it was fun. It was a good time.
So you guys have retired Montana for this summer, will
you go back out there again? At any point? We're
thinking Christmas because I have a certain Christmas Day game Lambeau,
and that travel may be easier to get back to
Montana versus l A. Although Troy the other day it
goes we're gonna get snowed in. I was like, if
you don't, and somebody get the reindeer and fly us
(16:16):
out of here. Um, we're gonna get out of here
for two seconds, pay some girls, and we will be
back with more columb Down podcast right after this, what
did you wake up with? My gosh, I have this,
you know, like the zits that are the underground ones,
(16:38):
and there's no chance you're getting into that thing right now. Um,
but we're gonna let it just be. I've got these
ones that, like you can't tell when my face is
just resting, resting, bitch face. But if I really like
strain my like pull my upper lip up to like
get a glance at the pores. Man, I got these
little like ones that I want to get in there with.
(17:00):
Speaking of IVF and IDF, Needo got a lot of
them just delivered to me or like my fingernails or
like little tools. But then I know if I get
in there to do that, it's only going to make
it worse. And then they're going to turn in the
cystic one. So I don't know what to do. You know,
I'm doing a good job. I went to Gize the
other day to get a facial for the first time
in a long time. And it's always great when you
like see the wonderful woman who does your facials and
(17:21):
you know her obviously, and she's like, so we've got
some work to do. I'm like, it's gonna be a minute,
you know what, But I say, get them all, get
them all. I always want to open my eyes when
they're squeezing them, just to see, like what's coming out.
I want to go pro. I want to go pro.
I want to see it all. And you know when
you feel it, you know that something came out. I
(17:41):
always asked Donna, the other sweet esthetician. I'm like, Donna,
was that a good one? Because it felt like a
great one. She goes, I'm gonna need a minute for
the clean up. I'm like, good, good. Keep drinking water, water,
keep drinking water, water, water water. Um, got the green juice,
grain juice, She's got all the things. Guys, welcome back.
This is the episode that we talk about or not
(18:01):
talk about. We answer some of your questions. We love
those of you that wrote what. We love all of
you that listen, but also those of you that took
the time to write in some questions. So should we
get into it, Yeah, let's do it. Planning a wedding,
any advice lessons learned? I just cut you off, sorry, Andy,
ten one four one, Uh, you go first, because my
weddings are my weddings plural. Um, we're both thrown together.
(18:23):
In like five seconds. So you you had the wedding
of all weddings. It was unbelievable. So start from the beginning.
How long did it take you to planet all the details?
We were referred to a woman named e Fought. She
owns a company called Orange Co um O R E
n c O. Not sponsored, wish it was, but she's
(18:43):
a dream. She puts on great weddings, great parties. Loved
her so much she became a part of my family
and um look, it's expensive to do to hire someone
to be a wedding planner, but it's worth every cent
just to not deal with the little things. You're really
good at that kind of stuff. I'm not. I will
say the one thing I wish we had done, and
(19:04):
this is not the thoughts fault, This was our fault.
Is a kind of a shot list of people I
wanted pictures with. I didn't even get a professional picture
with you, Like I have a picture, but it's not professional.
I didn't even get one with Joe Troy. I didn't
even get one with Stray because you're busy, you know,
you've got stuff going on, but it would have been nice.
(19:26):
I didn't even get one of the table I was
sitting at with my friends from hermosa. So that is
the one piece of advice I would really say try
to do because, like Chris has said, you're busy. I
did manage to eat. I don't remember eating, but I did,
thank god. It was how long did it take you
to plan that wedding? With with her help and everything.
We got engaged in December and then our wedding was
(19:50):
that June, So it wasn't that long. And look, she's
a well oiled machine. I mean she handled it. And
that's why you know. She you pair what you pay,
and I would highly recommender. She's just so great. And
there was a lot of logistics with ours in terms
of transportation where everybody was staying, so that was a
pain in the assid and we didn't deal with that,
but she was wonderful with everything. What about you? Is
(20:11):
there any advice for you? I mean, look, you know,
I'm not a wedding person at all, because I'm a
person that's like, um, I'd rather take that money and
spend it on other things. It's just not it wasn't
that important to me, but my first wedding. And I
can say this with love because I'm now happily married
to my second marriage. My first wedding was thrown together
in five seconds, just because we randomly decided to get
married on a Wednesday, so that didn't really require any planning.
(20:33):
And this the my marriage with Kyle. It was we
were gonna get married in California, but then all the
COVID stuff happened, and so I was like, dude, if
you want to do this, we got to go out
of state. And so luckily he had a great friend Nick,
who had all these contacts, including an awesome wedding planner
and BTS management um their wedding planning skills. I literally
just sent her a picture of what I wanted, one picture,
(20:54):
and she did the entire thing. It was planned in
two weeks. I rented my dress from all Bright Library,
her name name. I was like, I don't anyways, the
wedding was great. I was sad I couldn't have you there,
any of my friends there. But anyways, so I guess
I'm probably like the worst person to ask for on
that because I'm just like, have somebody else planet. It
looks beautiful, gorgeous. Your pictures were amazing, Angel. Oh well
(21:15):
that's but that is the one, going back to your
previous point, the one thing that I would like be
adamant about. So I flew my friend John down who
always takes pictures for me because he knows I have
a d D. And there's no chance I'm like gonna
stand around for pictures exactly, and so he I go.
You got twenty minutes, like, let's go, and he was awesome.
Um okay. Next question comes from Julia Tool two and
(21:39):
she says favorite cheat day foods. You're so healthy, I mean,
what are we even cheating? I'm not, are you crazy?
I eat like crap. I was thinking about that story
you just told about the hike. And then what did
we do after the hike? We had two glasses of
roset and a crispy chicken sandwich I didn't choked, and
fried cauliflower, so knock at off, I know. And then
(22:01):
you go and have ten green juices and tea. But really, though,
if you get I'll tell you what my cheat day
was the other day because I was severely hungover from
a party that I went to the other night, and
I all day yesterday. You know what I did. I
had McDonald's in the morning, sausage sausage McMuffin. Then for
then I came home, took a nap. Then for lunch
(22:23):
and dinner, I had half a Domino's pizza, one half
for lunch, one half for dinner. And that's why I
just took my ass up this hill and hike in
my ass up this hill the whole day because I
was like, I'm not eating anything today, Like that's what
I have to do. If I just go full on
one day, it's probably not healthy. I we get it
the next day. I have to deprive myself because as
nasty McDonald's and Domino's mc donald so much, and I
(22:46):
know I'm not afraid of who knows? I Okay, a
couple of things. Hangover food yum, this is what I
always say about McDonald's. There twenty four hour breakfast. It
does the game change me so happy? Yeah, two times
I need it in my life. Hungover Yes, and I
always go sausage, biscuit, no egg, hash brown O j yes,
(23:07):
please hopeful or I mean this this uh. This episode
is sponsored by California Fertility Partners. Every time I would
have a bad fertility visit, that would be my go to.
I'd go to the drive thru right by the fertility
office and sausage, I know the one, you know that one,
(23:28):
it's right there, off well shirt so good, but love it.
Or there's this place to die for here. I was
actually just telling our new colleague Greg Olson, I live.
He's so funny, got he's great. But he we were
flying home to l A from the seminar and he
was like, oh, I just crushed at breakfast burrito and
(23:49):
I was like, damn you, I'm so hungry sitting here hungover.
So we've got this place named Fanny's p h A
N N Y s. And their burritos are like a
god eric and they're so good in Verdondo, Verdondo. They're
from Orlando. Heydo there is a show on Netflix right
(24:09):
now that you I'm gonna make you watch it tonight.
Have you seen the story behind the movies we love? Yes?
Did you watch the Pretty Woman? Oh? My god, you
have to watch it. So Aaron and I have an
affinity for Pretty Woman, mostly because of Julia Roberts, but
her and I like majority of lines we quote in
movies are Julia Roberts movies, specifically Pretty Woman? Write it down?
Are you're writing it down. You guys have to watch
(24:30):
this Netflix special. It's so awesome. It's basically all back
to the future. I think, et but pretty I haven't
seen that, but it tells the story of how these
movies came to be and it's awesome. A Pretty Woman
was originally supposed to be named three thousand for three
thousand dollars for the amount that it was paid, and
then they're like, oh, that's a sci fi name, so
changed it was. Do you know that? Um? Did? I
(24:51):
just I mean calmed down, Chris, I got so excited
talking about this. Um that Pretty Woman was a Disney movie. Really, yeah,
tell a picture cartoon. No, but it was like it
was picked up by Telepictures Production, which was owned by Disney.
So that's why they had to change the original. I'm
not going to run for you. The original ending is
very dark. Just watch it, anyone listening. Oh my god, Okay, wait,
(25:13):
we're not done with this topic. Two things. Speaking of
the things to watch, Cam Hayward not to name drop,
but I was on the sideline talking to him. He's great,
by the way, I love him. He was asking me
because I was telling him. I was saying in Montana
and he goes, hey, have you seen the show um
of Places You'd like to Vacation two or something. He says,
it's a series on Netflix as well, Places to Coolest
(25:36):
Vacation Spots or whatever. He said, it's a really good
show and they take all these different places. But then
I want to talk about another Netflix show you came
over and made me watch. I'm writing it down Sex Life.
I still haven't started watching it with Aaron. I thought
I got kind of bad acting after you leased totally.
(25:57):
We watched what four episodes. Yeah, but you can't look
for Oscar Award winning performances here. It is the subject
matter we're talking about. And she's about to get good.
And Sam and I were texting the other day and
girl friend Sam, who she introduced me to, she watching
and she goes, I'm about to start. She goes, my
wild Saturday night, I'm about to start sex Life, and
I go my wild Sunday was white lotus. I started
watching what she told us to watch. That's good. That's
(26:19):
on HBO Max. Okay, this is now, by the way,
this is now a movie and TV review podcast for
those of you just joining us. But yeah, that's a
really good one finished watching sex Life. If nothing else,
the girls hot in sex Life. The acting is not
that great. There are a couple in real life, so
I'm kind of into it in like a weird rabbits
and watched looked at their instagram. She got a tattoo
(26:41):
with his name, like his initial, kind of like the
bees on his hand. Yeah. Just just if you know what,
just if you're bored, you know what, if you have
to be lying down in a calm position after the show,
watch a little sex life. Um wait, so you're Hudson. Hudson. Mommy,
I'm scared now. I can't color my color book. You
gotta stay with me. That's where I was, like, what
(27:04):
the hell are we watching right now? Hudson? I love
you so much? Who the hell talks of their kids
like I come? Give him mommy a hug. I love
you so much. What are we watching? Just get to
the part about the party that they had at the
neighborhood because it's total suburbia, and like I know for
a fact these things happen swinger parties or what. I
(27:26):
don't know for a fact, Like I've never been there,
but like in these suburban neighborhoods, Connecticut where people get
real board, things start happening for sure, that too. Back
to our originally scheduled program. Next question is how do
(27:48):
you feel about people coming up to you in public
and saying Hi? A work twenty three. I'm gonna say
this real quick because Aaron will go, Okay, here we go.
Aaron is the nicest if you come up and say
hi to Aar and recognized, Aaron, you are so nice.
You always take time, You always ask how somebody else
is doing. You're really really good at this. So that's all.
I don't like to be touched. I don't like to
(28:08):
be taught into touching. But very nice. Well that's nice
of you. How do you do with it? Oh my god?
I go around asking people if they know who I'm.
Do you know who I am? No, I'm just I'm
just looking for attention to anyone. Today the FedEx guy
dropped off a check. Again. I get recognized never, but
because my name is on the FedEx package, he comes
(28:30):
to the door and he was like, of course that
I got to talk to you about. I love the
FedEx guy. You always got to make friends with the
FedEx guy. I'll tell you why. Because they're gonna leave
the package that needs to be left. That is not
a signature required. They're not going to chuck it over
the fence. They're go. You gotta go out of your
way to be nice at these people. Anyways, So Derek
and I were talking and he was going on and
on about how he was in a commercial for FedEx
(28:51):
but he didn't have a SAG card so we can't
actually be in the commercial. But he got to hold
the Lombardi Trophy and it was a whole production. Oh yeah.
And then I eventually come back in and my husband, Aile, goes,
what was that all about? I go, I was talking
of the FedEx guy. What's the problem here? I love
the FedEx guy. Um, not an ad anyway, I'll talk
to anyone you know this about me. Next question shout
out to Rob my ups guy friends with him as well.
(29:13):
He's an angel dream lover, come rescue me. How do
you make interviews exciting yet comfortable and ask all the
right questions? That's a great question. This from Valerie preactor. Um.
Valerie's got two questions in here. Valerie, good for you.
Val So you start go, I don't know, I guess
because I hate the typical like sit down interviews where
(29:34):
they're just so dry, like you've got to find a
way to make them laugh and have fun in the beginning.
I feel like that's so important. And you have a
great little tip where you just say you should be
rolling right away when they're sitting down because you may
miss something right Well, yeah, so our wonderful producer Joel
and there's a lot of great producers that we worked with,
but Joel is the king. And the story about just
(29:55):
roll Um comes from the time I got kicked off
of lambeau Field, as I've told on this podcast, for
where Joel just said to the camera guy, just keep
rolling because here's the thing, as you know better than anyone, athletes,
for the most part, look they're in season. The best
time to get an athlete or or an interview is
when they're not in season, because in season, they're coming
from from practice, from a treatment, they want in, they
(30:17):
want out. Sometimes they're just not in the mood to
like sit there and have a whole conversation. So the
less like an interview you can make it feel, in
my experience, the better. And that drives me nuts. When
you sit down and a producer goes, Okay, we're ready
to go, and the athlete here's that. I'm like, I've
been going this, the interview has already happened the second
the guy work with me. Work with me. People. So
(30:39):
that's what I would say in order to make the
athlete or whoever you're interviewing feel comfortable, never say you're starting.
Just go and you're going to protect them. You're never
gonna put in anything that they don't want there or um,
you know, something that they obviously don't want to talk about.
So I would say that's my best piece of advice
to make them feel comfortable is just act like you're
having a conversation with them. But then also don't ask
(31:02):
the like the cliche questions. Try to find a new
way to reward them. When we were at the seminar,
Roger Goodell was there and he was being interviewed by
our boss, Eric Shanks, and Tom Ronaldi was sitting next
to you, and Tom had submitted like some of the
questions for Shanks to ask Roger, and I saw you,
I saw you say to him, like a question would
asking you like good question? Liked because Tom's Tom is
(31:25):
so I mean, he has made a living off of
like these intense questions that are like make you think.
I'm like, hey, what's your favorite color? And see where
this goes, where Tom's like asking this like very deep question.
But the art of interviewing is really it is an art. Yeah,
I'm not always great at it, but I like interviewing.
I like getting, you know, people to say things that
don't normally say. Agreed, I was gonna you know, I
(31:49):
was talking to Ben on the sidelines and what I
really wanted from him, and you'll love this story was
I was just reading stories about Bill cower Um being
inducted and great you know, things that his former players
had to say. And there was this awesome article about
when you played for him or coach with him, one
of the moves you had to get down was turning
(32:10):
your head right away because he always sprayed when he talked.
He was just so passionate. He's got this jaw. He
talked about his jaw, but he would just spit and
I think I saw that in his football life. And
I was cracking up reading this article. Heinz Ward said,
I was young, I was a rookie, and I messed up.
(32:30):
I messed up really bad. And he came over and
he just gave it to me. And while he was
giving it to me, a bit of spit landed on
my lip and he thought, oh god, I can't wipe
it off. I have to sit there and take it.
And he said the two things I thought of when
Coach Kawer walked away as I'm gonna get I'm about
to get cut, and I've got spit on my leg,
(32:51):
like his spin on my leg. There's just great like
stories like that. So Diana asked Ben in the interview,
what's your best say it? Don't spray it much from
coach because but and I asked, and this is kind
of a trick I always do before guys sit down
or before I'm about to go on, I'm gonna say, hey,
I'm gonna ask you this if you have anything good
(33:12):
and that's good, Like, no, you can't ask that. You can't,
I said, open, come on, that would be so much fun.
He's like, he's right there, and I'm like, who gives
a crap? But I I didn't do it, so it's interesting. Yeah, yeah,
I don't um. I don't ask ahead of time. Maybe
I should the only time I've ever asked ahead of
time for an interview with Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck.
We're getting a divorce. Oh yeah, you told me. Yeah,
(33:34):
And I don't know if I said it on here,
but just debriefing. Um. Yeah. They had all these agenda
questions about divorce and I was like, I do not
want to ask her that it's so personal. As part
of the reason I had a hard time working in
entertainment because sports we're not really asking personal, personal questions,
you know, it's more like quantitative, not qualitative. But anyways,
so I said, I put the mic Donalds, like I
have to ask you this question and I'm really sorry,
(33:56):
and she was so lovely and gave me the nicest response,
and then towards she grabbed my hand she said thank
you for doing it that way, and I was like,
instead of the gotcha moment kind of thing. So that
was my learn I should actually probably do that more
in sports. So I tend to do that too with
athletes if we're talking about something tough. I mean I
kind of remember like all this stuff with Ezekiel Elliott.
(34:17):
Was he going to be suspended? Was he not? Things
like that? And was that what it was? What was
it there was always Yeah, I mean there was stuff
with him like I lack of reproduction maybe, and then
it was like he got the contract and then was
like was he paying? Like was he fully in it
because it wasn't he partying and like doing other stuff. Yeah,
I don't remember. I don't remember what was going on. Um,
(34:38):
that's sad. I don't remember. I hate bugging these guys
about their life, but sometimes when it's part of the story.
But yeah, I wasn't COVID related. I don't remember, um anyways.
But yeah, the art of the interview. That's why I
always like watching like Dan Patrick's really good. I like
watching guys that are you know, guys and gals whatever
yourself included. UM. When you can get the most out
(34:59):
of someone and make them laugh or or get a
moment that like you haven't seen them in before. Um,
it's fun. Yeah that was it, but we don't need to.
It was better that we didn't remember, yea um. Alright,
last question here says CT. Why did CT move to Nashville.
That's from Thomas UM. I moved to Nashville part time
(35:22):
country music because in Korea, because I'm going to be
carry underwords backup no, I moved now. I've always wanted
to live in Nashville. My husband no longer had to
be based in New York, so it was an opportunity
to move down. I've never lived in the South, though,
and so I know I'm excited to not just the South.
I know, and you know this, although I'm not excited
(35:43):
about the South and all the trees that fell down
from the windstorm that cost me a grip of cash
just to have trees hauled off the property I've never
even been to. But yeah, I'm excited. Nashville so much fun.
I mean, look, it's country music, but it's also like
this up and coming town to Kyle and I. We're
talking about the Titans are going to be good, the
Predators are always like a great game to go to.
So yeah, not full time. I'll still split my time
(36:03):
between l A and Nashville. I gotta figure out when
to get these dogs out here. Have you ever had to, like,
what's the longest car ride you've been with Howie to Montana?
Fifteen hours? That's it. How am I going to get
these dogs across countries at some point? So I actually
have a service for you, do They're literally Sam has
it again shows she'll tell you that, Yeah, they drive
(36:24):
them out there. Good okay, good, Um, I need that.
I'll figure out when to do that. Are you gonna go?
I don't know. I'm the person again that gets married
with two weeks um notice, and had bought a house
that I've never even seen. But you know, it'll be fine.
I'm hoping with the end of August because I'm painting
and stuff right now. But um, well, guys, this has
(36:44):
been a great time. I think we have to go.
But Aaron, great news for you. Thank you for again
sharing your journey. I know it's very personal, but it's
people how it goes over the week. Yeah, lots of
positive energy your way. I love you and you got
to doing this week. I am going to Seattle, you know,
the Keys aren't going to sell themselves. And then I
(37:05):
am going to go interview coach Sala in New York
and then I'm gonna interview him Josh Allen in Buffalo.
So baby, all this week, um, this weekend, next week,
I'm gonna get some in before these guys shut it
down for the season. And uh yeah, I'm looking forward
to that. But yeah, so that's when I'm up in
the lake just for one night to get some stuff
done up here and then off and a running. But um,
(37:28):
thank you to him. No, I haven't. Oh you get
ready for you to get ready to get blown away.
Watching like like press conference like tape on him, I'm like,
I want to I want to play for him. I
like his no nonsense attitude to about stuff like that's
the kind of guy. Like he's so smart, he's so
lovely to speak with. His stories are fantastic. I remember
(37:50):
sitting in our first meeting with him and Troy just
kind of throwing some questions at him, and we were
all kind of like, oh, this guy is good, great,
great guy. And then Josh Allen, can are your coffee?
Are you a lot of coffee? My god? What a guy.
Congrats on the new contract. But Zoe, jesus, I've never
even met him personally again, Covid like we just we
(38:11):
weren't able. You did to sit down interview with him?
Now I did, and I could tell he you know,
some of these guys were like they're new and like,
you know, their first second year or whatever, and they're
just still kind of getting the hang of it in
terms of like show me some personality, like it's okay,
like your team's ball and you're doing great, like you
can get excited about it instead of the like we're
taking one game at a time. Um, But no, I
(38:32):
think that that just comes with like him getting acclimated
to the position and having success. I mean, that's a
town that's been starved of success, you know, especially in
the postseason for a long time. So nice to see them,
um doing well. I know, I got excited, and then
we have to go. I got excited. I got the
Fox Bet hold the line please. Oh I saw on
your Instagram nothing that made me more excited than a
(38:54):
preview notebook. Shoutout to Jared at Researcher. He's so cute.
He puts together this whole thing. But you guys, the
per tell me what this is? What are we looking
at here? We're looking at Okay, the total win projections
by Fox Bet, so like they projected the Bills will
win ten and a half games, the Cowboys will win
the NFC East with nine and a half, and it's
just time for me to go to Vegas and just
(39:16):
get to Oh my god, this is Christmas Coomer, Are
you kidding me? And then I get so I literally
on the drive up here, the dogs are in the
back and they said, Kyl, I'm gonna read you a
little story. It's called the Arizona Cardinals. They started five
and two before losing six of their last nine games
to close out. They missed the playoffs in each of
their last five seasons. This is a sad story. And
(39:37):
then I like, there's a whole thing of like the additions,
the subtractions. I'm gonna send you it. It's oh, it's
a bible to start the season, and it makes me
very excited. Um, for those of you guys that don't know,
we have Aaron tell our socials and then we'll have
to go before everyone kills us. I ohe, our socials
are calmed down podcast give him a look. Now that
I'm done with our game and I'm done with the seminar,
(40:00):
are I'll be posting and yeah, I'm gonna start studying.
I think I'm gonna start doing my first like four
or five teams. Just to get ahead. I'm gonna send
you this PDF. It's so good. It's like a full
breakdown of everything. Um, but thank you that you have
it all printed out. I wonder if I should print
it out. I'll send it to you. Print it out, um,
and again shout out to Jared, our great researcher. But
(40:22):
the season is upon as I'm so excited and thank
you guys to everyone who wrote in questions, We appreciate it.
Continue to write in questions, especially as the season starts. Um.
We're also aware that not everyone listening to our podcast
also loves football, and maybe they're just here for the
girlfriend conversation, so we are happy to talk about anything
and everything. Um, Aaron, I couldn't love you more. I'm
happy for your great news and we will see you
(40:44):
guys next week. I love it all. I'm so excited. Yeah,
have a good one. I'm gonna call you and probably
about ten minutes to hear everything. Are you gonna be
around I'm right here WiFi work by all. Bye guys.

Calm Down with Aaron and Krissa is a production of
I Heart Radio. Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast.
It's that time again. Aaron, you're back in l a.
I'm up at the lake. We're not together, we're not
at a seminar, and there's no Chris Myers. Please don't
tune out. I promise we'll be just as entertaining. What's
going on over body. I mean I went back and
(00:23):
listened to that podcast, and I actually, here's the funny.
We drove from our home in Montana to the airport.
It's about an hour twenty drive. You you were on
it with me. I made Jared listen to our podcast
and he was like, this is funny, this is good.
Now hopefully other people think that. But he obviously knows Jillian,
he knows Chris Myers. But he really was like entertained,
(00:47):
and there were things in it I didn't realize, like
Chris being two different voices when he called the station
in Miami. That was a hoot. I work in television,
not on televisions. I mean, this guy is just pure
entertainment and he's loved every minute of it. My favorite
part is I saw Jillian again in Canton when we
did the Hall of Fame game. And we'll get to
that after the break. But she was saying, Chris Myers
(01:10):
has not only retweeted, but retweeted your retweet on your
retweet for those of exciting last week's episode. Chris Myers,
who Aaron and I have both worked with for a
long time and you guys even split a sideline over
the years during the playoffs. But um, he's quite the character.
If you haven't listened, go back and listen to it.
(01:31):
I need a light in he it's very dark. Um.
But anyway, so recapping from that, so, we were in
Arizona for the seminar, as we mentioned last week, the
seminars where everyone from all the different announced crews gets
together because the football season is right around the corner
and so we never really get to see like I
don't get to see you outside of like you know,
personal like hanging out work reasons. Um, you're on the road,
I'm in studios. So and he was, it's a good
(01:52):
chance to like, well, for me, drink way too much
and not remember half the things I said, which is
a Wednesday. I remember something you told my producer, which
I want to recount, which by the way, by the way,
his bride was at the party that I was at
the other night, and I was like, let me see
you one two steps. Um. Anyways, but back to us, um.
So when I left you, you went off to Canton
(02:14):
and worked your first game. How did it feel where
you like, I'm excited to get back out there? What
was happening? It was cool. It was super weird, I'll
be honest, because out here in l A and I,
you know, watching the news, everybody is just so worried
about being massed up. And on the sidelines, we are out,
we are about we are proud. And it was interesting
because for the pregame pre game, for the preseason game,
(02:37):
we can actually interview the players. I interviewed coach McCarthy
right before kick with you Racking. By the way, you
were great. I was. I was so excited just to
like see you back in action. I've like like made
me so. I sat on the couch and I was like,
football is back, and like just even the whole like
set up of everything made me excited. Sorry to interrupt,
kick go, Yeah, it was cool, right, Like if you're
(02:59):
a big sports fan, and I thought our pregame was awesome.
It was great to see the guys there. It was
great to see them together the whole um. Did you
see the feature where they did the whole behind the
scenes of telling coach Johnson. I was crying crying the
field watching it. And how cool is it though, that
now every single person on that set, Terry, Jimmy, Howie Stray,
(03:20):
they will all have gold jackets. Yeah, the Hall of Famers.
It was so cool because you see them all sitting
there in Troy was there too, But then Jimmy was
that one person the long overdue honor that he is
now part of a very elite class of coaches and players.
So really cool to see. But were you just stoked
to be back out there. Yeah, it was cool. It
was weird. It was strange to be down on the sidelines.
(03:41):
Remember we've been separated from everybody for a year. We
were up in the front row and a moat section.
Guys were waving to us from afar and here comes
coach McCarthy right with I'm like yelling at Dallas pr
on like ten seconds, five seconds because those are so
hard right before the kick. The coach doesn't want to
do them, but fully. Coach McCarthy was so great about it.
(04:02):
But they're worried about, you know, getting their their playsheet,
like everything altogether. You know, the first couple of plays
are scripted and they want to be set. And here
he is answering my questions. He's holding a microphone. He
comes near me. I scooped back, I scooped forward, he
scoops back. It was just so crazy, but um, it
was a lot of fun. Dallas's sideline obviously Dak wasn't there,
and hope Doc is doing okay with that shoulder strain.
(04:25):
Talked to Ezekiel. He wow, you were going to be
blown away if you see Zeke in person this year.
He's dropped ten pounds. He says, he's the weight he
was at when he was a freshman at Ohio State.
He he walked up and I go, this is ten pounds,
And I guess I didn't understand the way I said it.
He goes, what and I go, no, you look unbelievable,
like and you never think those guys are big at all,
(04:47):
and it's not like he was, but ten pounds on
Zeke gone is like whoa Danny. I mean, he already
had those abs he looked great. Ben Roethlisberger, I love
seeing that. I don't know what your relationship is with him,
but he's always been so wonderful to me, and uh,
I was so excited to see him. Peter Schreeger texted
me and he goes, only you can make Ben smile
(05:08):
And I was laughing with Pr and PR was like, well,
that's because you don't see him every week to piss
him off, you know, so, but he's yeah, I love that. Yeah,
he actually because we don't do or even when I
was doing sidelines, it was all NFC, so you don't
really see these guys in the a f C. But um,
my time with Ben was when I was doing the
Shack Versus show and it was Shock versus whatever respective
(05:30):
athletes from a hundred years ago, and so he was
the football player he took on, which was great. But um,
I'm happy for Ben. I mean, look, it's been well documented.
His trials and tribulations off the fields come out of that.
He's a father, he's you know, he's married, and um
gotten himself through a lot of injuries and look, he's
been the staple of that team now for a couple
(05:50):
of decades. So it's cool to see him back out there,
and Dac was adorable during the halftime. Did you get
to see any of it? I did, Yeah. Actually, because
I didn't have to do halftime interviews, I could actually
sit there eat a crustable because that's all you can eat,
and because it's hard to like to try to have
food down there, and the fans are staring at you
and your shoving crap in your mouth, so that's never
(06:12):
a good photo when they take that. Um. Wait, so
I watched Dak. We actually have I'm gonna jump ship
because we're gonna get to we like to take fan questions.
Thank you guys for those of you that wrote in.
But it makes sense right here because one of the
fan questions, which we'll get to a lot of them
to your previous point after the break, but there was
a question for you on here. It's said favorite snack
to eat during a game on the sideline or in studio.
(06:33):
This was from Valerie Reactors. So if I'm saying your
last name wrong, I'm sorry, But UM, tell people you're
always talking about these. It's not an ad. Crustables, smuckers, crustables. Please,
I would love this to be an ad. I mean,
I don't think there's anybody that eats crustables more than me,
and and and this is on Thanksgiving. Explain what they day.
(06:55):
So crustables are basically a mini peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
You can get them in grape jelly. You could get
him in strawberry jelly. You keep him in the refrigerator.
I like them toasted, but on the sidelines, we don't
travel with toasters. Um I could, I guess put them
in front of those like heaters that they the boys
are lined up against when it's cold out. But they're
so easy. Our crew keeps them in the fridge. They
(07:17):
throw them and it's like m M, I mean I again,
we do games on Thanksgiving Day, we do them on Christmas.
And there's nothing says football sidelines to me that like,
I'm crust of all and don't say while you demonstrate
how you eat it. But they're delicious and they're listen,
they're quick, they're easy. I can have them down there.
It's so funny because not to go off on a tangent,
(07:37):
but this wouldn't bear the podcast if we didn't. Uh
Coach Bowden obviously passing away the other day and thoughts
and prayers to his family. I love coach Bounden. I probably,
I was telling my husband, probably did about fifteen to
twenty Florida State games in my college career, maybe even more.
But when I worked the beginning part of my career
at ESPN, I was a little thicker. And I know
(08:01):
why I was because on the sidelines I'd crush Eminem's cokes,
hot dogs, chicken fingers. I mean, I wasn't really conscious
of the lbs, you know, and the fact that maybe
wasn't getting a good work out the next morning. So
those days that was my snack. Now I tried to
be more conscious with I'll do some sort of almond,
maybe a nut um. I work with a group called
(08:25):
How's Bakes that are actually you have When I was
at your house in Montana, couldn't eating them. Yeah, yeah,
they're like healthier snacks. Troy Aikman and myself we endorse them.
We love them. I and I also like putting electro
lights in water because if you think about it, we
don't really get to drink very much down there. A
lot of the times I just forget, so staying hydrated
as a big one. But that's the long version of
(08:46):
what I like to eat on the sidelines? How did
we get into this subject? It doesn't watching Dak at
halftime eating a crust of ball ceedee lamb. I got
to interview him in the third quarter. Schrager bombs texting
me and he goes, how cool of a cat is
that guy? And I guess I really didn't realize, like
he was so sweet and this was the first time
I got to be close to him and talked to
him again because last year we weren't on the sidelines. Yeah,
(09:08):
but he's a smooth, smooth dude. I guess he's had
yet another great camp. I'm excited to see him in action.
Who's Your? I was pumped, Who's your? Who's your? Week
one game m HMS Packers at New Orleans which today, Wow,
there's a lot of drama with Michael Thomas. Huh. That
(09:28):
was all season last year. I mean anyways, but it's
a developing story, so we'll just leave that right there
until there's you know, some more information there. But um, well, good,
I'm excited that you were, you know, Jack to be
back up on the sidelines. And second, oh my god,
I was texting you being like I'm just so stoked that, like,
even if it's a Hall of Fame game and it
(09:49):
doesn't matter, it's preseason and not all the starters are in,
just to see football back. And I think a lot
of that has to do with think about it this
time last year during quarantine, and we didn't know if
there was going to be a season. You didn't know
if you were going to be able to be like
in games were the announced crew is going to be
broadcasting from the studio. It was a whole thing. So
I think that now that we know, and specifically for you,
(10:10):
that you can do your job. It's different when you're
there and your clothes and like not having to ask
questions from row B. So I'm excited for you. Um,
you have a summertime glow. I know you just left Montana,
which I'm sad that that means that's the Killerman camp
is over for you. But yeah, you guys, I do
have some makeup on. I had a Zoom interview today,
(10:32):
you know, trying to land another job, but not from
Fox or anything like that. But you know, much like you,
I can't have enough jobs. But speaking of Glow, kind
of if you want to get up in personal and
I didn't even get a chance to call you today
because I've been rushing the freak around. Today kind of
got some big news. So I've been trying like full disclosure.
(10:52):
I've been really open about my fertility journey. I've been
trying like hell. Which you were at my Montana house,
so you saw all the like, which is potions pills
that you guys take. I left Montana being like, first
of all, I need to drink more water because this
broad is like constantly drinking water. She was drinking the
olive oil, the Saints supply olive oil. Yeah, she was
(11:13):
taking these tea, drinking these teas before bed. Meanwhile I'm
breaking corks five drinking more wine before But I'm like,
you're doing all the things right. That's why that hair
of yours is real and mine is in a baby pony.
I'm gonna start doing the aeron Andrew's regiment of like
hoceans and potions. But tell me what was your there
obviously working? What's going on here? My fake hair has
arrived for this season. I'm gonna be like sewing it anymore.
(11:35):
We're gonna clip it in. We're gonna clip it in
and see how she goes, I just have been trying
and trying, and I go for an ultrasound, not to
be graphic, but all our ladies, which, by the way,
when I did kind of share our fertility struggle, we
had a lot of d m s towards that and
people were saying, be more honest, So I will. So
I've just been trying and like things haven't been going well.
(11:55):
And today yet again in the stirrups at eight thirty
in the morning, um, and he's just like, let's go,
let's freaking go. We're gonna go and try meds today.
So we're going, and it was so funny. I said
to him. I go, that's great. What does this mean?
I go, am I? And this is literally how I
talked to my doctor and I love him so much. Um,
(12:15):
I literally said, wait, am I? Matt Stafford and Dak Prescott?
Where I haven't thrown? Uh, you know a ball all
preseason and you're going to throw me in for like
regular season? Like where am I? And he goes, you
know what, We're on the thirty yard line, on the
thirty yard line and we're starting, like, let's I go,
Like I've never I was telling you I was so happy.
I've never been more like excited to stab myself with
(12:39):
h H and hormones in my fire life because like,
I just know that, like we have this what eleven
fifteen days and we got to go for it. So yeah,
like happy. And then I met a fantastic acupuncturist slash
healer slash osteopath in Montana and she said, today's a
new moon, so this could mean a lot out of things.
(13:00):
So new moon, new follicles, new syringes, let's go. I'm
into it. By the way, you and Tom Brady of
IVF come on, if you know I tell you that
all the time. I'm like, what we were quitting Now
we're not quitting on anything. This game is open. You
know what transferred to Tampa and win another ring? Why
not make some adjustments. But you're I'm so proud of you,
and I'm I mean, I tell you this all the time,
(13:21):
but being open and honest about your situation isn't easy
and it is very personal. And I know that you
have now motivated me. I need to go do another round.
I need to you know, there's no excuses, and we
have too many people in our lives that we know
that have struggled in similar but yet different ways. And
if it's this isn't you know a reminder to all
of us that we only have a short window. So
(13:41):
good for you. It's a testament to who you are.
You never give up and when you know one door closes,
you open up a window, sister. So I'm proud of you.
I'm happy for you, and I'm here to support you
in any way that I can. The lady sat me
down today to go over instructions. I go. I gotta
be honest, it's my seventh time doing IVF. How much
of this has changed. But Chrisa, you've been there with me.
I mean, doing these drugs is like it is a
(14:04):
reality show. I mean the fact they trust us mixing
this ship is insane. It's a meth lab in your
house completely for anyone that's crazy, never done these. They
literally send you home with all these syringes, all of
these things. And they're also supposed to like time sensitive
of like you have to take it at a certain time.
You know me. Please, There's a reason that I was
never on birth control because I could never take the
(14:25):
pill on time. I would have been pregnant. Nineteen times.
I might just put the I D and hell, it's fine,
No one cares. I share that I have bowel issues
as well on this podcast. Now that was great, but
it it really is. It's like, I don't know how
they trust us to do this, but you're unfortunately, unfortunately
you are you know, well versed in this now at
this point, so it probably makes it easier. And a
(14:47):
lot of it has to do with your mental state
that you're in such a good place this time. I'm
just rooting for you always, love you, love you well
seven seven times a charm. This has to be a
good Who do we love? John Away? You know, just
go ahead, John. I don't know if we give you
we trust you making draft picks, but you've done a
great job in your Hall of Fame career with your
(15:08):
rings um and your car dealerships. There's not a car
that guy hasn't sold. I want to counts. I heard
it is pretty good too. Oh um, my hairs went.
Because I'm up in the lake. I try to go
for a run real quick before we got on here.
And let me just tell you that altitude you and
I went for a hike when we were in Montana
and the best part. So Aaron was very sweet and
(15:28):
invited me to her beautiful place in Montana and she's like,
let's go for a hike. Do you want it easy
or a hard one? And I was like, let's do
a hard one or in our cocktails. And we're like
halfway through the hike and I was like, where do
we How far is this hike? And she points up
at this mountain like Uncle Rico and she's like, we're
going up there and I was like, holy sh it,
Like that was quite the hike and then with the
(15:49):
outs do but it was fun. It was a good time.
So you guys have retired Montana for this summer, will
you go back out there again? At any point? We're
thinking Christmas because I have a certain Christmas Day game Lambeau,
and that travel may be easier to get back to
Montana versus l A. Although Troy the other day it
goes we're gonna get snowed in. I was like, if
you don't, and somebody get the reindeer and fly us
(16:16):
out of here. Um, we're gonna get out of here
for two seconds, pay some girls, and we will be
back with more columb Down podcast right after this, what
did you wake up with? My gosh, I have this,
you know, like the zits that are the underground ones,
(16:38):
and there's no chance you're getting into that thing right now. Um,
but we're gonna let it just be. I've got these
ones that, like you can't tell when my face is
just resting, resting, bitch face. But if I really like
strain my like pull my upper lip up to like
get a glance at the pores. Man, I got these
little like ones that I want to get in there with.
(17:00):
Speaking of IVF and IDF, Needo got a lot of
them just delivered to me or like my fingernails or
like little tools. But then I know if I get
in there to do that, it's only going to make
it worse. And then they're going to turn in the
cystic one. So I don't know what to do. You know,
I'm doing a good job. I went to Gize the
other day to get a facial for the first time
in a long time. And it's always great when you
like see the wonderful woman who does your facials and
(17:21):
you know her obviously, and she's like, so we've got
some work to do. I'm like, it's gonna be a minute,
you know what, But I say, get them all, get
them all. I always want to open my eyes when
they're squeezing them, just to see, like what's coming out.
I want to go pro. I want to go pro.
I want to see it all. And you know when
you feel it, you know that something came out. I
(17:41):
always asked Donna, the other sweet esthetician. I'm like, Donna,
was that a good one? Because it felt like a
great one. She goes, I'm gonna need a minute for
the clean up. I'm like, good, good. Keep drinking water, water,
keep drinking water, water, water water. Um, got the green juice,
grain juice, She's got all the things. Guys, welcome back.
This is the episode that we talk about or not
(18:01):
talk about. We answer some of your questions. We love
those of you that wrote what. We love all of
you that listen, but also those of you that took
the time to write in some questions. So should we
get into it, Yeah, let's do it. Planning a wedding,
any advice lessons learned? I just cut you off, sorry, Andy,
ten one four one, Uh, you go first, because my
weddings are my weddings plural. Um, we're both thrown together.
(18:23):
In like five seconds. So you you had the wedding
of all weddings. It was unbelievable. So start from the beginning.
How long did it take you to planet all the details?
We were referred to a woman named e Fought. She
owns a company called Orange Co um O R E
n c O. Not sponsored, wish it was, but she's
(18:43):
a dream. She puts on great weddings, great parties. Loved
her so much she became a part of my family
and um look, it's expensive to do to hire someone
to be a wedding planner, but it's worth every cent
just to not deal with the little things. You're really
good at that kind of stuff. I'm not. I will
say the one thing I wish we had done, and
(19:04):
this is not the thoughts fault, This was our fault.
Is a kind of a shot list of people I
wanted pictures with. I didn't even get a professional picture
with you, Like I have a picture, but it's not professional.
I didn't even get one with Joe Troy. I didn't
even get one with Stray because you're busy, you know,
you've got stuff going on, but it would have been nice.
(19:26):
I didn't even get one of the table I was
sitting at with my friends from hermosa. So that is
the one piece of advice I would really say try
to do because, like Chris has said, you're busy. I
did manage to eat. I don't remember eating, but I did,
thank god. It was how long did it take you
to plan that wedding? With with her help and everything.
We got engaged in December and then our wedding was
(19:50):
that June, So it wasn't that long. And look, she's
a well oiled machine. I mean she handled it. And
that's why you know. She you pair what you pay,
and I would highly recommender. She's just so great. And
there was a lot of logistics with ours in terms
of transportation where everybody was staying, so that was a
pain in the assid and we didn't deal with that,
but she was wonderful with everything. What about you? Is
(20:11):
there any advice for you? I mean, look, you know,
I'm not a wedding person at all, because I'm a
person that's like, um, I'd rather take that money and
spend it on other things. It's just not it wasn't
that important to me, but my first wedding. And I
can say this with love because I'm now happily married
to my second marriage. My first wedding was thrown together
in five seconds, just because we randomly decided to get
married on a Wednesday, so that didn't really require any planning.
(20:33):
And this the my marriage with Kyle. It was we
were gonna get married in California, but then all the
COVID stuff happened, and so I was like, dude, if
you want to do this, we got to go out
of state. And so luckily he had a great friend Nick,
who had all these contacts, including an awesome wedding planner
and BTS management um their wedding planning skills. I literally
just sent her a picture of what I wanted, one picture,
(20:54):
and she did the entire thing. It was planned in
two weeks. I rented my dress from all Bright Library,
her name name. I was like, I don't anyways, the
wedding was great. I was sad I couldn't have you there,
any of my friends there. But anyways, so I guess
I'm probably like the worst person to ask for on
that because I'm just like, have somebody else planet. It
looks beautiful, gorgeous. Your pictures were amazing, Angel. Oh well
(21:15):
that's but that is the one, going back to your
previous point, the one thing that I would like be
adamant about. So I flew my friend John down who
always takes pictures for me because he knows I have
a d D. And there's no chance I'm like gonna
stand around for pictures exactly, and so he I go.
You got twenty minutes, like, let's go, and he was awesome.
Um okay. Next question comes from Julia Tool two and
(21:39):
she says favorite cheat day foods. You're so healthy, I mean,
what are we even cheating? I'm not, are you crazy?
I eat like crap. I was thinking about that story
you just told about the hike. And then what did
we do after the hike? We had two glasses of
roset and a crispy chicken sandwich I didn't choked, and
fried cauliflower, so knock at off, I know. And then
(22:01):
you go and have ten green juices and tea. But really, though,
if you get I'll tell you what my cheat day
was the other day because I was severely hungover from
a party that I went to the other night, and
I all day yesterday. You know what I did. I
had McDonald's in the morning, sausage sausage McMuffin. Then for
then I came home, took a nap. Then for lunch
(22:23):
and dinner, I had half a Domino's pizza, one half
for lunch, one half for dinner. And that's why I
just took my ass up this hill and hike in
my ass up this hill the whole day because I
was like, I'm not eating anything today, Like that's what
I have to do. If I just go full on
one day, it's probably not healthy. I we get it
the next day. I have to deprive myself because as
nasty McDonald's and Domino's mc donald so much, and I
(22:46):
know I'm not afraid of who knows? I Okay, a
couple of things. Hangover food yum, this is what I
always say about McDonald's. There twenty four hour breakfast. It
does the game change me so happy? Yeah, two times
I need it in my life. Hungover Yes, and I
always go sausage, biscuit, no egg, hash brown O j yes,
(23:07):
please hopeful or I mean this this uh. This episode
is sponsored by California Fertility Partners. Every time I would
have a bad fertility visit, that would be my go to.
I'd go to the drive thru right by the fertility
office and sausage, I know the one, you know that one,
(23:28):
it's right there, off well shirt so good, but love it.
Or there's this place to die for here. I was
actually just telling our new colleague Greg Olson, I live.
He's so funny, got he's great. But he we were
flying home to l A from the seminar and he
was like, oh, I just crushed at breakfast burrito and
(23:49):
I was like, damn you, I'm so hungry sitting here hungover.
So we've got this place named Fanny's p h A
N N Y s. And their burritos are like a
god eric and they're so good in Verdondo, Verdondo. They're
from Orlando. Heydo there is a show on Netflix right
(24:09):
now that you I'm gonna make you watch it tonight.
Have you seen the story behind the movies we love? Yes?
Did you watch the Pretty Woman? Oh? My god, you
have to watch it. So Aaron and I have an
affinity for Pretty Woman, mostly because of Julia Roberts, but
her and I like majority of lines we quote in
movies are Julia Roberts movies, specifically Pretty Woman? Write it down?
Are you're writing it down. You guys have to watch
(24:30):
this Netflix special. It's so awesome. It's basically all back
to the future. I think, et but pretty I haven't
seen that, but it tells the story of how these
movies came to be and it's awesome. A Pretty Woman
was originally supposed to be named three thousand for three
thousand dollars for the amount that it was paid, and
then they're like, oh, that's a sci fi name, so
changed it was. Do you know that? Um? Did? I
(24:51):
just I mean calmed down, Chris, I got so excited
talking about this. Um that Pretty Woman was a Disney movie. Really, yeah,
tell a picture cartoon. No, but it was like it
was picked up by Telepictures Production, which was owned by Disney.
So that's why they had to change the original. I'm
not going to run for you. The original ending is
very dark. Just watch it, anyone listening. Oh my god, Okay, wait,
(25:13):
we're not done with this topic. Two things. Speaking of
the things to watch, Cam Hayward not to name drop,
but I was on the sideline talking to him. He's great,
by the way, I love him. He was asking me
because I was telling him. I was saying in Montana
and he goes, hey, have you seen the show um
of Places You'd like to Vacation two or something. He says,
it's a series on Netflix as well, Places to Coolest
(25:36):
Vacation Spots or whatever. He said, it's a really good
show and they take all these different places. But then
I want to talk about another Netflix show you came
over and made me watch. I'm writing it down Sex Life.
I still haven't started watching it with Aaron. I thought
I got kind of bad acting after you leased totally.
(25:57):
We watched what four episodes. Yeah, but you can't look
for Oscar Award winning performances here. It is the subject
matter we're talking about. And she's about to get good.
And Sam and I were texting the other day and
girl friend Sam, who she introduced me to, she watching
and she goes, I'm about to start. She goes, my
wild Saturday night, I'm about to start sex Life, and
I go my wild Sunday was white lotus. I started
watching what she told us to watch. That's good. That's
(26:19):
on HBO Max. Okay, this is now, by the way,
this is now a movie and TV review podcast for
those of you just joining us. But yeah, that's a
really good one finished watching sex Life. If nothing else,
the girls hot in sex Life. The acting is not
that great. There are a couple in real life, so
I'm kind of into it in like a weird rabbits
and watched looked at their instagram. She got a tattoo
(26:41):
with his name, like his initial, kind of like the
bees on his hand. Yeah. Just just if you know what,
just if you're bored, you know what, if you have
to be lying down in a calm position after the show,
watch a little sex life. Um wait, so you're Hudson. Hudson. Mommy,
I'm scared now. I can't color my color book. You
gotta stay with me. That's where I was, like, what
(27:04):
the hell are we watching right now? Hudson? I love
you so much? Who the hell talks of their kids
like I come? Give him mommy a hug. I love
you so much. What are we watching? Just get to
the part about the party that they had at the
neighborhood because it's total suburbia, and like I know for
a fact these things happen swinger parties or what. I
(27:26):
don't know for a fact, Like I've never been there,
but like in these suburban neighborhoods, Connecticut where people get
real board, things start happening for sure, that too. Back
to our originally scheduled program. Next question is how do
(27:48):
you feel about people coming up to you in public
and saying Hi? A work twenty three. I'm gonna say
this real quick because Aaron will go, Okay, here we go.
Aaron is the nicest if you come up and say
hi to Aar and recognized, Aaron, you are so nice.
You always take time, You always ask how somebody else
is doing. You're really really good at this. So that's all.
I don't like to be touched. I don't like to
(28:08):
be taught into touching. But very nice. Well that's nice
of you. How do you do with it? Oh my god?
I go around asking people if they know who I'm.
Do you know who I am? No, I'm just I'm
just looking for attention to anyone. Today the FedEx guy
dropped off a check. Again. I get recognized never, but
because my name is on the FedEx package, he comes
(28:30):
to the door and he was like, of course that
I got to talk to you about. I love the
FedEx guy. You always got to make friends with the
FedEx guy. I'll tell you why. Because they're gonna leave
the package that needs to be left. That is not
a signature required. They're not going to chuck it over
the fence. They're go. You gotta go out of your
way to be nice at these people. Anyways, So Derek
and I were talking and he was going on and
on about how he was in a commercial for FedEx
(28:51):
but he didn't have a SAG card so we can't
actually be in the commercial. But he got to hold
the Lombardi Trophy and it was a whole production. Oh yeah.
And then I eventually come back in and my husband, Aile, goes,
what was that all about? I go, I was talking
of the FedEx guy. What's the problem here? I love
the FedEx guy. Um, not an ad anyway, I'll talk
to anyone you know this about me. Next question shout
out to Rob my ups guy friends with him as well.
(29:13):
He's an angel dream lover, come rescue me. How do
you make interviews exciting yet comfortable and ask all the
right questions? That's a great question. This from Valerie preactor. Um.
Valerie's got two questions in here. Valerie, good for you.
Val So you start go, I don't know, I guess
because I hate the typical like sit down interviews where
(29:34):
they're just so dry, like you've got to find a
way to make them laugh and have fun in the beginning.
I feel like that's so important. And you have a
great little tip where you just say you should be
rolling right away when they're sitting down because you may
miss something right Well, yeah, so our wonderful producer Joel
and there's a lot of great producers that we worked with,
but Joel is the king. And the story about just
(29:55):
roll Um comes from the time I got kicked off
of lambeau Field, as I've told on this podcast, for
where Joel just said to the camera guy, just keep
rolling because here's the thing, as you know better than anyone, athletes,
for the most part, look they're in season. The best
time to get an athlete or or an interview is
when they're not in season, because in season, they're coming
from from practice, from a treatment, they want in, they
(30:17):
want out. Sometimes they're just not in the mood to
like sit there and have a whole conversation. So the
less like an interview you can make it feel, in
my experience, the better. And that drives me nuts. When
you sit down and a producer goes, Okay, we're ready
to go, and the athlete here's that. I'm like, I've
been going this, the interview has already happened the second
the guy work with me. Work with me. People. So
(30:39):
that's what I would say in order to make the
athlete or whoever you're interviewing feel comfortable, never say you're starting.
Just go and you're going to protect them. You're never
gonna put in anything that they don't want there or um,
you know, something that they obviously don't want to talk about.
So I would say that's my best piece of advice
to make them feel comfortable is just act like you're
having a conversation with them. But then also don't ask
(31:02):
the like the cliche questions. Try to find a new
way to reward them. When we were at the seminar,
Roger Goodell was there and he was being interviewed by
our boss, Eric Shanks, and Tom Ronaldi was sitting next
to you, and Tom had submitted like some of the
questions for Shanks to ask Roger, and I saw you,
I saw you say to him, like a question would
asking you like good question? Liked because Tom's Tom is
(31:25):
so I mean, he has made a living off of
like these intense questions that are like make you think.
I'm like, hey, what's your favorite color? And see where
this goes, where Tom's like asking this like very deep question.
But the art of interviewing is really it is an art. Yeah,
I'm not always great at it, but I like interviewing.
I like getting, you know, people to say things that
don't normally say. Agreed, I was gonna you know, I
(31:49):
was talking to Ben on the sidelines and what I
really wanted from him, and you'll love this story was
I was just reading stories about Bill cower Um being
inducted and great you know, things that his former players
had to say. And there was this awesome article about
when you played for him or coach with him, one
of the moves you had to get down was turning
(32:10):
your head right away because he always sprayed when he talked.
He was just so passionate. He's got this jaw. He
talked about his jaw, but he would just spit and
I think I saw that in his football life. And
I was cracking up reading this article. Heinz Ward said,
I was young, I was a rookie, and I messed up.
(32:30):
I messed up really bad. And he came over and
he just gave it to me. And while he was
giving it to me, a bit of spit landed on
my lip and he thought, oh god, I can't wipe
it off. I have to sit there and take it.
And he said the two things I thought of when
Coach Kawer walked away as I'm gonna get I'm about
to get cut, and I've got spit on my leg,
(32:51):
like his spin on my leg. There's just great like
stories like that. So Diana asked Ben in the interview,
what's your best say it? Don't spray it much from
coach because but and I asked, and this is kind
of a trick I always do before guys sit down
or before I'm about to go on, I'm gonna say, hey,
I'm gonna ask you this if you have anything good
(33:12):
and that's good, Like, no, you can't ask that. You can't,
I said, open, come on, that would be so much fun.
He's like, he's right there, and I'm like, who gives
a crap? But I I didn't do it, so it's interesting. Yeah, yeah,
I don't um. I don't ask ahead of time. Maybe
I should the only time I've ever asked ahead of
time for an interview with Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck.
We're getting a divorce. Oh yeah, you told me. Yeah,
(33:34):
And I don't know if I said it on here,
but just debriefing. Um. Yeah. They had all these agenda
questions about divorce and I was like, I do not
want to ask her that it's so personal. As part
of the reason I had a hard time working in
entertainment because sports we're not really asking personal, personal questions,
you know, it's more like quantitative, not qualitative. But anyways,
so I said, I put the mic Donalds, like I
have to ask you this question and I'm really sorry,
(33:56):
and she was so lovely and gave me the nicest response,
and then towards she grabbed my hand she said thank
you for doing it that way, and I was like,
instead of the gotcha moment kind of thing. So that
was my learn I should actually probably do that more
in sports. So I tend to do that too with
athletes if we're talking about something tough. I mean I
kind of remember like all this stuff with Ezekiel Elliott.
(34:17):
Was he going to be suspended? Was he not? Things
like that? And was that what it was? What was
it there was always Yeah, I mean there was stuff
with him like I lack of reproduction maybe, and then
it was like he got the contract and then was
like was he paying? Like was he fully in it
because it wasn't he partying and like doing other stuff. Yeah,
I don't remember. I don't remember what was going on. Um,
(34:38):
that's sad. I don't remember. I hate bugging these guys
about their life, but sometimes when it's part of the story.
But yeah, I wasn't COVID related. I don't remember, um anyways.
But yeah, the art of the interview. That's why I
always like watching like Dan Patrick's really good. I like
watching guys that are you know, guys and gals whatever
yourself included. UM. When you can get the most out
(34:59):
of someone and make them laugh or or get a
moment that like you haven't seen them in before. Um,
it's fun. Yeah that was it, but we don't need to.
It was better that we didn't remember, yea um. Alright,
last question here says CT. Why did CT move to Nashville.
That's from Thomas UM. I moved to Nashville part time
(35:22):
country music because in Korea, because I'm going to be
carry underwords backup no, I moved now. I've always wanted
to live in Nashville. My husband no longer had to
be based in New York, so it was an opportunity
to move down. I've never lived in the South, though,
and so I know I'm excited to not just the South.
I know, and you know this, although I'm not excited
(35:43):
about the South and all the trees that fell down
from the windstorm that cost me a grip of cash
just to have trees hauled off the property I've never
even been to. But yeah, I'm excited. Nashville so much fun.
I mean, look, it's country music, but it's also like
this up and coming town to Kyle and I. We're
talking about the Titans are going to be good, the
Predators are always like a great game to go to.
So yeah, not full time. I'll still split my time
(36:03):
between l A and Nashville. I gotta figure out when
to get these dogs out here. Have you ever had to, like,
what's the longest car ride you've been with Howie to Montana?
Fifteen hours? That's it. How am I going to get
these dogs across countries at some point? So I actually
have a service for you, do They're literally Sam has
it again shows she'll tell you that, Yeah, they drive
(36:24):
them out there. Good okay, good, Um, I need that.
I'll figure out when to do that. Are you gonna go?
I don't know. I'm the person again that gets married
with two weeks um notice, and had bought a house
that I've never even seen. But you know, it'll be fine.
I'm hoping with the end of August because I'm painting
and stuff right now. But um, well, guys, this has
(36:44):
been a great time. I think we have to go.
But Aaron, great news for you. Thank you for again
sharing your journey. I know it's very personal, but it's
people how it goes over the week. Yeah, lots of
positive energy your way. I love you and you got
to doing this week. I am going to Seattle, you know,
the Keys aren't going to sell themselves. And then I
(37:05):
am going to go interview coach Sala in New York
and then I'm gonna interview him Josh Allen in Buffalo.
So baby, all this week, um, this weekend, next week,
I'm gonna get some in before these guys shut it
down for the season. And uh yeah, I'm looking forward
to that. But yeah, so that's when I'm up in
the lake just for one night to get some stuff
done up here and then off and a running. But um,
(37:28):
thank you to him. No, I haven't. Oh you get
ready for you to get ready to get blown away.
Watching like like press conference like tape on him, I'm like,
I want to I want to play for him. I
like his no nonsense attitude to about stuff like that's
the kind of guy. Like he's so smart, he's so
lovely to speak with. His stories are fantastic. I remember
(37:50):
sitting in our first meeting with him and Troy just
kind of throwing some questions at him, and we were
all kind of like, oh, this guy is good, great,
great guy. And then Josh Allen, can are your coffee?
Are you a lot of coffee? My god? What a guy.
Congrats on the new contract. But Zoe, jesus, I've never
even met him personally again, Covid like we just we
(38:11):
weren't able. You did to sit down interview with him?
Now I did, and I could tell he you know,
some of these guys were like they're new and like,
you know, their first second year or whatever, and they're
just still kind of getting the hang of it in
terms of like show me some personality, like it's okay,
like your team's ball and you're doing great, like you
can get excited about it instead of the like we're
taking one game at a time. Um, But no, I
(38:32):
think that that just comes with like him getting acclimated
to the position and having success. I mean, that's a
town that's been starved of success, you know, especially in
the postseason for a long time. So nice to see them,
um doing well. I know, I got excited, and then
we have to go. I got excited. I got the
Fox Bet hold the line please. Oh I saw on
your Instagram nothing that made me more excited than a
(38:54):
preview notebook. Shoutout to Jared at Researcher. He's so cute.
He puts together this whole thing. But you guys, the
per tell me what this is? What are we looking
at here? We're looking at Okay, the total win projections
by Fox Bet, so like they projected the Bills will
win ten and a half games, the Cowboys will win
the NFC East with nine and a half, and it's
just time for me to go to Vegas and just
(39:16):
get to Oh my god, this is Christmas Coomer, Are
you kidding me? And then I get so I literally
on the drive up here, the dogs are in the
back and they said, Kyl, I'm gonna read you a
little story. It's called the Arizona Cardinals. They started five
and two before losing six of their last nine games
to close out. They missed the playoffs in each of
their last five seasons. This is a sad story. And
(39:37):
then I like, there's a whole thing of like the additions,
the subtractions. I'm gonna send you it. It's oh, it's
a bible to start the season, and it makes me
very excited. Um, for those of you guys that don't know,
we have Aaron tell our socials and then we'll have
to go before everyone kills us. I ohe, our socials
are calmed down podcast give him a look. Now that
I'm done with our game and I'm done with the seminar,
(40:00):
are I'll be posting and yeah, I'm gonna start studying.
I think I'm gonna start doing my first like four
or five teams. Just to get ahead. I'm gonna send
you this PDF. It's so good. It's like a full
breakdown of everything. Um, but thank you that you have
it all printed out. I wonder if I should print
it out. I'll send it to you. Print it out, um,
and again shout out to Jared, our great researcher. But
(40:22):
the season is upon as I'm so excited and thank
you guys to everyone who wrote in questions, We appreciate it.
Continue to write in questions, especially as the season starts. Um.
We're also aware that not everyone listening to our podcast
also loves football, and maybe they're just here for the
girlfriend conversation, so we are happy to talk about anything
and everything. Um, Aaron, I couldn't love you more. I'm
happy for your great news and we will see you
(40:44):
