Speaker 1 (00:00):
They're not wiping off the towel rods, and you got
your body on it, and you're hanging your towel and
now you got somebody else's body body on it. Calm
down with Erin and Chrissa. Is a production of Iheartradiol

(00:26):
La La. I know this doesn't come out until Thursday.
Welcome to the big show, everybody, Thank you so much
for listening. But my gal has a monster date tonight.
It is Monday. The results of who will be playing
in the World series will already be out.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, they'll be starting up right when do they start? Friday? Saturday?
Who cares?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
You got a big one tonight. You got a big
one tonight, my gal. So yes, I hope that by
the time this comes out on Thursday, I will be
celebrating that the Mariners, the lone franchise that has yet
to make it to all the world series, will finally
be in the World series taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
And if that's not the case, and it's the Blue Jays,

(01:07):
then because I want this from my mother more than
anything else in the world, the backstory real quickly on
this and hopeful that it actually we can save this
clip because it will have come to fruition my mother
and my grandma. Do I explain this on the puckast already?
But I think so maybe you did, but who cares.
You know, Look, I am dementia. That's actually not funny.

(01:31):
I got a pamphlet in the mail when I lived
at my prior residence that had a dementia packet for it.
I'm not kidding. And my dad goes, he was my
parents were visiting me. And my dad goes, WHOA, what'd
you get that for? And I go it's a great question.
He goes, ah, you'll forget about it tomorrow, and I'm like,
that's not funny.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I was like, I have to do more.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
You what I do during game breaks at when i'm
you guys are at halftime and the guys downstairs have
cut in, so I have to be quiet upstairs.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I do crossword puzzles. You should have to stim me
alive the brain.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yes, this device, guys, we can't be relying on this
like we need to stimulate it in other ways. Okay,
here's a stimulation for me. If the Mariners make the
World Series, it is a very special thing, not only
for the city of Seattle that I love and there's
honestly that city deserves this. But my mom and my grandma,
my late grandma Judy, sweet Judy, who passed away last year,

(02:24):
a year and a half ago. Now at this point
to her name on your chest, she yes, obviously, Steve,
is that you. So she entered a care home like
a nursing home, like a year two years ago, and
my mom wanted to make sure that she always had
something to do. And this even prior to going into
the nursing home. So this has been going on for

(02:44):
the last like six or seven years that once my
grandpa passed away, my mom just didn't want my grandma
to be sitting at home and ford and so they
would watch Mariners games every night together because one hundred
and sixty two games, there's a lot of watching baseball.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
You got something to do.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Mom would just, you know, always keep tab on the
Mariners because she wanted to make sure my grandma wasn't bored.
And then my grandma's obviously since passed away, and now
the Mariners have an opportunity to go to the World
Series and my sweet mother has been on vacation with
my dad for the last three weeks. They never do
international trips. They had planned this over a year ago,
and my mom has been waking up at one o'clock

(03:20):
in the morning over the last twelve playoff games to
watch her beloved Mariners. So this is for Cath. I'm
literally getting everyone that I know in on this. Do
it for Cath. Al Michael's sweet al postgame on Thursday,
he goes, we're doing it for Cath. We're I mean seriously,
So I really hope that the Mariners are able to
pull this out.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Tonight.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
It's going to a Game seven of an ALCS and look,
I usually as a sports fan, I love a Game seven,
but I can't handle the stress for cav Okay, anyways,
on hold on, I'm sending really quick. We'll wait and
see if he can and we'll bring him in if
he can or can't. He is right now pacing biting
his nails as much as old. I don't know who

(04:01):
this is, you do, but hold on, It's okay, we'll
get to it in a minute. So how do you feel?
Because we were taking videos of ourselves last night our
crew had the Dallas Commander's game. We had a good
two hour shift at a airport bar as we were
waiting to get on our game on our plane, and
Carissa and Kevin Burkhart were doing videos back and forth

(04:22):
to each other just about what they were watching with
the Blue Jays and the Mariners and kind of summing
up the fact there'll be a Game seven, which, by
the way, Kevin Burkhart is now in the studio getting ready.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
For the game.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I need to highlight Kevin Burkhart independent of whatever happens
in Game seven, which will obviously be a Mariner's victory.
God willing, Judy, if you're up there and listening, Gal,
that would be a good time to chime in, Jude,
send me Gal, send it in, Jerome. Kevin Burkhart, what
he does is size impressive. Joe Davis is also another one.

(04:57):
When you go back and forth between baseball and football,
and I know you did it too for years. It's
just so impressive to go back and forth between the sports.
So I just I need to highlight our guy, Kevin,
your your work husband, what it is that he does
during football season to be able to do both. Okay,
real quick synopsis, because this won't even matter if the

(05:20):
Mariners don't make it.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
But yesterday.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
My well, actually, we don't even need to talk about it.
It's a new day, it's a new chapter. I won't
harp on the fact that they left runners on base
with one out and didn't advance the runners multiple times.
We're going to let that go because it's all about positivity.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Positivity.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
I need some Edgar Martinez, some Randy Johnson, some Joey
kore or some Dave Valley, some Jay bunor some Ken
Griffey Junior, so Alex Rodriguez, all of my old time Mariners.
I need you guys to send some good mojo that way.
I'm current, it's coming crazy. It's for Michael Jordan when
he was part of the Birmingham Barons Federation and as

(06:01):
we all know, he went down and played minor league baseball. Okay,
here we go contact podcast and take two.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Hi, Aaron, how is your week seven? Angel? Good?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
I was turning our attention to football. You got sick.
Tell the story.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I was real concerned about the gal balling.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Speaking of what you're wearing, Michael Jordan, Jersey, let's talk
about the fact you had a Michael Jordan game.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, this was unexpected. Thank you for asking.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I Wednesday, we got into Cincinnati, so we had the Bengals, which,
by the way, Jill Fly a game.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
What a game?

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I mean him and Aaron Rodgers forty one and forty respectively.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
What they did. I just okay, we'll get to that.
You talk to Aaron at all?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Aaron did talk to Aaron did not want to talk
to me. A postgame I saw him walking off the
field and Fits and Wit both went up to him,
and I was like, I'm not going to bother I
didn't know if you talked to him pregame maybe no, no, no, no,
I don't like to bother them pregame.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I mean you, no situation.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Your situation is different though you're working in the game
like my like on set, Like if I walk out there,
they're like, what are you doing? So I disagree AnyWho,
coming flew to Cincinnati per usual on a Wednesday night
for the Thursday night football game, and Wit and Fits
were doing They're so busy, these two. They were doing

(07:25):
something in town and so it was just me, Shehrm
and Tony that went to dinner. Got a seafood tower.
Who doesn't love the seafood tower?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Shrimp?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
You got the oyster problem though, here's where we're but no,
I thought it was, but it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
So we get the seafood tower.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
And again, because I don't have any problem mixing foods,
I was like, well, what goes with a seafood tower
A pizza? Naturally, So I had pizza, shrimp, oysters, all
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Great, why not?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I mean really, at the end of the day, pizza
is bread, so it's not that weird. So I have
one glass of wine. I mean, like, that's it. One
glass of wine and we all ended the night having tea.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I mean, who are we?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Right?

Speaker 1 (08:03):
So the box comes out. I'm like, I'll have the
peach canra mail. That sounds great. Go to bed, no issues,
wake up in the morning, no issues. I go to
the meeting nine o'clock. Halfway through the meeting, I'm getting
this feeling and I'm like, oh, oh no. And it's
not like I have to go to the bathroom feeling.
It's like a it's like creeping up into my esophagus feeling.
And I'm like, so not to get graphic, but you

(08:25):
know that feeling. And we're like, take a swallow and
you're like, is that what? What's going on here, a
lot of spits starts coming exactly. It starts happening right
and I'm like, yeah, no, oh, no, oh no, this
is this is this is what's going on right now,
with absolutely no warning. I excuse myself by that. I mean,
I just run out of the meeting room. I didn't

(08:45):
even make it to the toilet in the bathroom. I
had to throw up in the garbage can that was
located on the back side of the swinging door, and
I was like, oh my god, it was. It came
out of absolute nowhere. And then I'm sitting in there
and I'm like, oh no, oh, this isn't good. So anyways,
I flashed some water on my face. I go back

(09:05):
into the meeting room. I'm in my bag grabbing gum.
At this point was I'm like, oh my god, I
don't like I can't go upstairs and brush my teeth
in the middle of the meeting, and our sweet producer
Spoon looks at me, like you okay, and I'm like, okay,
now it's happening again.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I have to leave. The meeting room.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Was SULTI shooking multiple times, and so I go back
and I'm like, oh my god, and so what the
weirdest thing is is that after that happened, I didn't
get sick again. I just felt like tired. And so
then again spoon and shout out to Sweet Alyssa. They
door dashed me some saltines and some gatorade, and I
spent the rest of the afternoon studying my notes in

(09:42):
bed and drinking my gatorade and eating my saltines and
then pulling myself together for the game. And I felt
totally fine during the game. It was very bizarre. So yeah,
I just I don't know what was going on there.
It was maybe we don't think it was a bad
seafood reaction. Don't you think it would have lasted longer.
I've had food poisoning before, and that shit lasts for

(10:04):
forty eight hours.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
And that is, like you are, I'll just leave it there.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
There is kind have been a weird parasite or something
that just needed to get out. Well, I was grateful
that the body just allowed me to push that bad
boy right out in the garbage can and keep it moving.
But yeah, anyways, so all is good. But let's go
back to the game. That game Icy hoghool, Icy Hot
Joe Flacco.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Let me just talk.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I actually don't want to say where we were staying
because Joe's in the process of moving into his family
is still in a different city. Because as for anyone
that doesn't listen to the podcast or pay attention to football,
no problem, we'll fill you in. Joe Flacco is with
the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals traded for him because Joe Burrow,
their starting quarterback, went out. Their backup Jake Browning didn't

(10:49):
perform as much as they wanted him to, so they
brought in Joe Flacco. The season that's so good and
Joe Flacco backed up. But again this created some controversy.
Mike Tomlin within this division was like, what are we
doing here? Why are we trading for a quarterback within
the division that we know is a formidable well quarterback
because he took the he did the same thing with
the Browns last year, comes in ends up taking him

(11:12):
to the playoffs. Okay, stay with me. The conclusion of
the game, not to spoil it, it's over. Joe Flacco,
log Jamar Chase and him. Sixteen catches for Jamar Chase
twenty five over the last two games went in doubt
when the play breaks down, throw it to number one.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I mean it was. It was amazing great. And Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
How many times can I say, Joe Flacco comes up
to set him and Jamar postgame, and I appreciate his candor.
I appreciate how like full transparency he was. Like half
the time, I can't hear what Zach Taylor was saying
what the play call was, so like even on that
zone read that like he the option, like he just
started running and I'm like, good for you. He didn't

(11:54):
know what half the play was, like play call was sometimes,
but he just got the ball to Jamar Chase and
it proved to be the right thing to do.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
So the upset the.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Steelers, who were the favorite coming into this thing. And
now that is three Thursday night football games in a
row where the underdog has won. And I know, because
I'm gonna be honest, I picked the favorite in all
three of those and I lost. So now I'm behind
in the standings and I'm really mad about it. But
it makes for great television. And it's again why the
NFL proves to be king, because you never know what's

(12:27):
gonna happen. Are those three straight wins. The home team
won New York that and then what was my week
before that? That was the upset. It feels like so
long ago. Now what was the Oh, the San Francisco, No,
that was the road team.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yah. San Francisco beat the Rams.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
The Giants beat the Eagles, and then the Bengals beat
It's right Steelers. As you mentioned, you were in Dallas,
one of your favorite places, if not the favorite place.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Home, my home away from home, Sween Street, Dallas.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
For a great NFC East battle. Yeah, Cowboys offense, stay out.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Good for Dak.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
I mean I'm not picking side. I cheer for everyone.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Good for Dak.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I know you sat down with him, George Pickens. Some
of his catches, just some of them, they're all ridiculous,
Like what are you okay?

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, CD, welcome back.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
CD defense really seemed to do a good job against
the Commander's Commanders can get a lot going, and then
of course they lose Jaydon Daniels, which hope the news
you have him. Okay, what's happened is so I know
that you you know again, I like to fill people
and if they don't know the storylines. Jade and Daniel
offensive rookie of the Year last year. This is a
sophomore campaign. The commander's trying to find their footing amidst injuries.

(13:53):
Because Jaden has already been hurt this year. So then
what happened. He had his hamstring was the issue in
this one. Hammy back right, hammy yep. So went into
the tent and came out, gave a thumbs up to
his mom. So I interpreted that as he's okay. And
then he ran back in, went into the locker room

(14:14):
and we didn't see him after that. And while I'm
not sure what they were doing in the locker room,
I you know, dan Quinn comes out and says he
wanted to continue to play. Obviously, the score got away
from Washington, so they decided to keep him in. Not
sure if he could have I know that they had
an MRI today. The doctor hasn't called to fill me
in and what.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
The latest report has been. But we'll see what happens.
I could diagnose it. No, I'm kidding. Just bottom line,
you hate when guys get hurt. He's such a good kid.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Had a chance to sit down with him for our feature.
He's just so thoughtful, sweet. It was funny to watch
the year before. I did a sit down during the
divisional how much he's grown. He's just so comfortable with
them now. Very sweet, but yeah, dah, stay wild. What
a day for that guy. Happy for him. I Brian
Schottenheimer is awesome. Have you spent much time with him?

(15:00):
I have had zero time with him, but having been
in Dallas the week before last, as you mentioned, with
George Pickens and Javonte Williams, they could not say enough
of nice things about him, and I thought so interesting.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
They loved that.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
They said, you know what it feels like. It feels
like we're back in college in the best way that.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
It's like, it's this.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's obviously playing for the Dallas Cowboys, it can become
a business real quickly. But they said the way that
Brian makes you feel is like this sense of college
and family and that it's small even in the constructs
of it, being like you know, underneath the Jerry Jones star.
So I thought that was interesting. And then I also
love like if you see those locker room clips of
him afterwards, like where he'll shout out guy's dads and

(15:44):
then they're all like, hey, like there's just like this real.
My favorite word camaraderie in the locker room that those
guys were quick to point out and talk about with him.
So good for him, you know, because when they announced
him as the high and he had been with the
staff for the previous couple of years, because I know
him and dan Quinn and both were together right in
Dallas at the same time. And it wasn't a sexy hire.

(16:04):
It wasn't a big name hire that some of these
you know, big coaches, big names that have had this
pedigree to be Dallas. Let's say what you want. The
Dallas Cowboys head coaching position has been reserved for only
a few people. So when they announced Brian, I know
a lot of people were like, wait what, But it's
proved to be an incredible hire and guys love him.

(16:24):
Can I tell you a great line dan Quinn gave us.
Kevin asked on our conference call, and Tom Brady said
this yesterday on the broadcast, but if you didn't hear it,
it's worth repeating. Kevin asked dan Quinn on our conference
call just what being around Dak meant to dan Quinn
and now facing him obviously, his answer was awesome. I'm
a huge DAK fan. I know you are as well.

(16:46):
He just said the building wanted to win for him,
and he said, you know, there was a big regret
he had when he left Dallas that they didn't do that,
and because they said, you know, Dak carries a lot
of weight organization on his shoulders and a lot of
it is put on him and he sees the effort
and the time and the face he always has to

(17:09):
stand up and ask the questions. And he said a
lot of his disappointment wasn't being able to get it
done for Dak. That was awesome, awesome the same way
that I said that, you know that spotlight is very
bright on the head coach. All you need to do
is watch that documentary America's Team, what Troy went through
and what Jimmy Johnson went through, and Barry Switzer like yeah,

(17:29):
Roger Staubach like there's just like yeah, that comes with
a different responsibility. But Dak has been nothing is class
personified in that position. So that's totally cool. So yeah,
I mean we're headed into week eight and again I
feel like we say this every week, but it rings true.
You never know what's going to happen. All you have
to do is watch that Giants Denver game that the

(17:50):
freaking fluid Ver Broncos scored thirty three points in the
fourth quarter. Ryan, correct me if I'm wrong, but I
think it's thirty three points because, as you know, she
just said the word fluid. I'm doing these in game updates,
but I had to preface the I was so good
with the fact that it was like it was ever
changing and it was going back and forth and back

(18:12):
and yeah, correct, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Numbers.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Numbers are important. I used to work on a show
called Numbers Never Lie. Numbers Do Live. But that number
didn't thirty three points in the fourth quarter. So Sean Payton,
we love Sean Payton. Congrats on your victory. But that's
a game where you don't want either team to lose
because it was so wild and for it to come
down to the last second that it did. But yeah,
the NFL is amazing. I have the Managers Vikings game

(18:38):
this Thursday night in LA. You sat with Kevin O'Connell,
by the way, would you really enjoyed I did. This
was my first time chatting with him, head coach of
the Minnesota Vikings, and I my takeaway, John interview. We
love Thank you for listening. Angel, Your husband is incredible.
I mean, Howie, before I let into my piece, we're

(19:00):
in commercial, and how we all the guys on the
pregame show they always watched the piece ahead of time
so that they know, you know, what conversation to have
after you know, the piece airs whatever, And how he
looks at me and he goes, what a nice man
he is, Kevin O'Connell, I said, very very nice. Now
there's a lot of question marks both of these teams
coming off of losses. But what I took away from

(19:21):
that interview is that we all we all because it
is sort of a consensus that Kevin O'Connell is the
quarterback whisper right, what he's been able to do with
different guys and the success that he's had, whether it
was you know, Jared Gop or whether it was Sam
Darnold last year, and then then you bring in JJ
McCarthy and he's battled injuries. But I he said, he

(19:43):
doesn't want to be He doesn't.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Really like that. Yeah. I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, because he although he appreciates that that has been
you know, a title that he has possessed is because
he's done such a great job with the maturation of
a quarterback in that position or sort of resurgence, sort
of a reincarnation of some career, some of their careers. Anyways,
the point was that he said that he wanted to
be able to be known as all things, not just

(20:09):
from the quarterback position. So whoever it is on his team.
But yeah, I'm interested. Both of these teams are sort of,
I don't want to say, at a crossroad, but we're
a week eight. I mean we're almost halfway there, and
it's just lose to They just lost to the Colts.
Oh yes, yes, yeah, And I know again this is
that point. We even said it early on in the

(20:31):
year with some of the big name guys that went
down early on. But I mean, injuries are really starting
to take their toll. And so yeah, Carson Wentz is
the starter as of now, and JJ McCarthy his timelines,
you know, sort of he was nursing a high ankle
sprints whether he's going to be back. We were talking
on our call this morning sort of what both these
teams need to do to rebound because that NFC North

(20:52):
Division is tough. And then I mean, look here, what
the Chiefs are doing in the AFC West. They put
a smacked on the Raiders, a shutout. I didn't realize
that's Andy Reid's first ever shut out as a head coach.
And I heard that, and I'm like, again, Ryan, since
you're the researcher apparently and the producer on the show,

(21:13):
I was like, wait, what Andy Reid's career. But yeah, anyways,
so the Chiefs. So anyways, I'm excited for my game. Yeah, Chargers,
I don't I don't cover a lot of Chargers games
or I haven't. You know when we in the world
of NFCF boss, they don't really see a lot of them. So, yeah,
who do you have this week?

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Babe? Who do we have?

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (21:33):
We had Giants at Eagles.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Hey, before we get to that, can I give a
shout out to the Dallas Cowboys athletic training staff, first, Dad,
who they love seeing you, and Dave, who helped me.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
I had a little mishap. Stupid. It's so stupid.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Steaming my outfit for the game in the morning, getting
ready my sweatshirt. I don't know why I felt the
need to push it back up. The sleeve fell down,
So I was like, oh, it fell down, so I
went to go pull it back up with the steamer
in your hand. Thing, Carissa, when I saw on my
arm is this big. And it was one of those

(22:13):
where I went and I went like this and the
skin just came rad and I was like, oh my god,
oh my god, oh my god, and like I was like,
I gotta get ice on it right away.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
So it's like, Hi, could I get ice? Shout out
to our hotel in Dallas. They brought burn cream.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
But then I get downstairs and I'm like, this is bubbling,
this is bubbling, and going oh yeah, and it's this big.
So listen here, you're bitching about the graphics I should have.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
This is I didn't happened to you, self inflicted, so stupid.
So then this is what I don't steam my outfit.
This is why I have wrinkles. I can't risk it.
I mean, my god, you've never had an accident. This
girl's the queen of the steam steamer. By the way,
She's gifted me a steamer because she wants me to
have clothes that aren't wrinkled.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Oh but I also know these trainers. If you're hurt
and you're at a football stadium. Find him Sweet Nate
with the Cowboys. He I texted pr and I said, hey,
you guys, I burned myself.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
He was so cute. He brought a band aid with
Ali Vera and then he sucked at Oh god. He goes,
this is already bubbling. We're gonna need more. So he
just like doubts.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
It was something that took the pain away, wrapped me
up like I was alignman, and I was good to go.
And then now you don't realize how bad it burn hurts.
I don't need to tell you this since you're dealing
with it so sensitive. So Cindy came over today and
she because I was like, I don't want to take
this off. I'm afraid of what's under here. And she's like,
don't take it off. I'm gonna come see you. And
she actually used to work at a burn center, our

(23:42):
our doctors that we were together. She has a dream
she undid it and she goes, oh, yeah, you really
did one. Then I got Max sitting over here and
he's like boo boo, and she like popped the blister
to get the fluid out and then got this stuff
in there and the skin's head in and.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
We got it. We got a whole thing. Yeah, damn it,
you did it.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
You did it.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
You did the damn thing.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
So anyways, thank you to the Cowboys training staff in
Tad and Dane was showering.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
We wrap it up, We wrap it up.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
But tonight I got to take this off because she
wants it to get a little ear lens and then
I got to.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Air it out. Damn, I'm sorry, girl, Yeah it happens.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
So this week I have Giants at Eagles, which is
always we say all the time, Trauma, It's dinner.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
It's the best reality show out there. I love it
so so much.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Danfl's great, Roger, you know what you're doing, and that
that big Chairge, What a guy, rog What else we got?
What else do we have? So I have, oh big news,

(24:56):
since I'm up to the ranch, since I've got a
home game. You're in Los Angeles. I I spoke about
it on the three.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Game a little bit.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
But I just love when I get to come up
here because it's a treat in season when I get
to pop into this place, because I don't I could
only be up here if I don't have to travel
for the week, so it only happens if I'm lucky.
It happens twice during the football season, and this is
already my second time, which I hate that it's happening
so early because it's October, which means that I'm not
back up here probably at least until January. But that's

(25:22):
let's focus on the positive.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I was here for a big day in the Ruby
Ranch family. My baby peacocks that Tony brought me that
had been in the nursery for the last four months,
I got to release them into the chicken coop today.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
It was timing. What does this mean?

Speaker 1 (25:40):
This means so there's like a little side area of
the chicken coop which is called the nursery. So like
whenever I got the baby chicks, like they had to
grow and be away from the big hens and so
they could, you know whatever, and have their little incubator light. Well,
the peacocks were now big enough so I could release
them into the chicken coop. So I got to open
up the little door and they were like very timid
and then and they came out. It was like you

(26:00):
would have hated it because you hate birds. So this
was definitely not the place for you. This is like
your nightmare. Okay, this is by heaven, this is your
nightmare in the chicken coop with chickens flying around and
then peacocks entering into the domain and then they're looking
around and they're like, what the fuck's going on?

Speaker 2 (26:17):
But they're two little girls. So here's a fun fact.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
I don't know shit about shit up here, but I'm
learning from Tony. Can peacocks and chickens no, because they're
all girls.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Okay, so a rooster, yeah, But I actually have a
thing about you don't. That's what it's going to bring up.
When you get these little baby chicks or you get
the baby peacocks. You don't know if are they going
to be a boy or are they going to be
a girl. And you only discover that when all of
a sudden, when morning it's and I'm like, fuck, no,
I can't do roosters. I'm sorry, boy. You know I

(26:51):
love animals. I'll welcome all of them, but I cannot
do that screeching thing. So sweet Tony, whenever one pops
out and it's a rooster, and the problem is they're
so beautiful and I want to keep them, but I
can't do that.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
The roosters are beautiful. The roosters are beautiful.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
They have all of the like different color, you know,
feathers and stuff and like whatever, I know what you're doing.
You're doing that jow thing. It's not the gel thing.
But she takes the roosters, and then you also don't
want We only have one because for a minute there
was a rooster here and then it made it with
you know, the hen and we have one little baby
chick that was born here.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's kind of cool, actually this wow.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Anyways, staying on task, these peacocks are two girls, and
so the girls because again the females are never as
beautiful as the guys. The guy peacocks are the ones
that have the big, huge feathers situation. So Tony says
that she's going to bring me some more peacocks and
then maybe I'll get lucky enough to have a boy,
and that one I want because then it just walks

(27:46):
around here and you know what.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
It does, patrols all of these.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
All of the peacocks help keep the snakes away because
apparently they make some noise that the snakes don't like.
Who no circle of life really yeah, and not to
mention how like beautiful they are.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, the guys, especially the girls are pretty. They got
some other neck, but you know anyway, so.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
That boys are the beautiful peacocks that we usually see
us out like the feather cabana and yeah, and that's
the whole like you know, uh idiom of like shake
your tail feather they actually like they'll do the feathers
and then they'll shake them. Yeah, it's like mating scene
and then the girls come over. So that happened today.

(28:27):
I got to feed the cows because now it's winter,
so you got to go. They can't they're not just grazing.
You actually have to go feed them.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
What else.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
There's just a lot happening up here. It just makes
me I only get to be here for like one
more day. But it is it hot or.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Is it cring? You know, it's crisp. It's like they
put your jacket on.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
But it's absolutely gorgeous and all the apples are in
full bloom, like yeah, things are it's a perfect fall day.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
The leaves are changing. I just love it. Q cute.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I know I can't go on your FaceTime with you
tonight you'll be all cozy wozy and you're like, you're
right to fire tonightatching Oh yeah, yep, oh yeah, I
love it.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
So we do you have Larry davidism? This week?

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I got to think about this. I don't know what
my Larry David. I know I had one earlier, but
I need I know you did writing it down. Did
you do you have one?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
I do say? Think of mine?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Kevin Burkhart and Dean Blandino, we'll get them on the
show to discuss have really turned the whole changing after
the game into a whole like competition. They would behind
the two of them, who can find the best bathroom
to change in.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
So yesterday we get to DFW.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
They went their separate ways because Dean thought over here
would be good, Kevin thought over here would be this is.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
This is, this is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
So plots within the main attraction that people just don't
realize that life on the road like what it does
so cute. I love that, But it's also the things
that make us like so close because we're laughing, how
was it?

Speaker 2 (30:00):
How was it?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know, we're we're drinking really crappy. Margarita's at the airport,
right at the airport bar, and we have a sweet,
sweet new Ba with us. She's adorable, She's just so
she's so sweet. She even said to me, can you
talk to me about some of your staples that I
love her? Shout out to em. She's great, she's goods.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
We love them. She's a good girl.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Do you know her dad was my producer? Okay, got it?
Very what's up?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I love her. I'm trying to help her out.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
She's returning the car and I said, Em, we're all here,
what can I order you? And what can I get
you to drink? I love a martini? I said, not
hear you want. I also love that EM's going to
order a martini at the airport and Joe, we're only
doing that at you know, steakhouses.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
So so sweet. So the boys go to change.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
I'm also getting a link together so I can send
to this person so you guys can commiserate. So the
boys go to change. They come out, we sit down
at the at the table and we talk about what bathroom,
who won, who had the better bathroom? Kevin claims this
is just in the airport, like a rant, Like yeah,

(31:10):
they went to two different bathrooms. To change, so they
wanted to discuss. Kevin claims he won because his had
a ledge, a ledge that then ended up being a
Larry David's David is, I said, I don't think the
ledge makes you win, and he's like, yes, it does,
because you don't have to put your suitcase on the floor.
So then I went into a whole conversation what happens

(31:33):
after you use the bathroom and you flush, The DNA
goes up.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
It spouts up, it spouts up, and.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
It hits the ledge, and so the ledge is just
as bad as the floor. And so then we started
talking about other things that are go ahead, go.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Just care for clarification purposes.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
And if anyone at home listening to this also has
the question, the ledge that I'm familiar with in a
bathroom is maybe only big enough to hold the cell phone.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
So what ledge are they putting? Apparently he found.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
A ledge right above the toilet that he can put
a carry on on. No, yeah, but it's still not
in the clear because you know that's not getting wiped down.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
And again the DNA it's going up like the bloom
has a ledge that big.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Apparently the one he found a DFW right outside of
gate D twenty five. So then we ended up having
a whole conversation about what they're not wiping down in hotels.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
I think you and I know talk about this.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
They're not wiping down the circle button and the small
circle button.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
They're not You need to kick that with your foot.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Then I even had one This is a Larry David
is you and the barons go.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
You can't kick it with you can't kick that.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
They're kicking it, but you're just not tapping it with
your foot. But then your foot's got stuck. We are
thinking about the same thing. I'm talking about the toilet
push that's on the top of the toilet. No, because
that's a good one too. I'm grabbing tissue paper and
wrapping my fingers in it and pressing it because they're
not wiping that. Hell no, I use my foot in

(33:07):
in hotels, even on the one in the bathroom, the
little handle thing, because they're not wiping that down.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I have watched a twenty three behind the black light
in the hotel rooms and they're not washing out those
coats either, because there's some stuff going on there and
the remotes. Don't get me started on the remotes. We
all know what's going on there. So I got a
new one. Mcdingerson, I got a new one. We all
started talking about it. They're not wiping off the towel rods,

(33:34):
and you got your body on it, and you're hanging
your towel and now you got somebody.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Else's body body on it.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
No, they're washing the towel, So tell me the rod
is clean, Well, if you can, but not after one
you say, we're trying to conserve water, so we're reusing
the towel and we're put we're hanging it up. And
now who's you're cleaning the towel. I'm sorry, I you're
not serving water.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
No, I'm sorry. I'm not in the hotel rooms, I'm
not not. No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I'm just gonna say it. I paid for the room octally,
I paid for the water. Why am I having to
conserve the water that I paid for?

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Im? Then give me some money back on the hotel.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
This is a Larry David is there, and it's then
it's a joint Larry David is because I will conserve
water at all, because I also live in California, so
there's never water here.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
So we have to conserve there, but in a hotel room.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
I am paying an astronomical amount of money, so I'm
gonna use all the water.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
This is a Larry David ism. I don't want to hear.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
I don't want to hear from environmentalists either, Okay, I
don't want to hear from it because I am sorry.
This is this is me paying for something. Your biggest
Mariners fan Jason Thornberry. He's boxes a Cruz lead stat

(34:56):
guy and also one of my work fans on the
on the job he looks out for me and vice versa.
Who Troy Aikman named Bob? Bob, how are we feeling?
Also a friend of the show. This isn't your friend
of the show? Second appearance?

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Oh yeah, I'm a repeat guest, which, by the way,
you don't have too.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Many repeat guests. So this is a big.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Moment for me, not as big as it is for us,
especially the city of Seattle. So for those that can't
see you, Firs tall, it's a shame because you look great.
You're wearing a Mariner shirt.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
No batting happened nineteen and a batting helmet.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
I got this a helmet at night bat helmet night
in nineteen eighty four.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
I'm butting it out.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
It needs to be a rally batting helmet at this point,
because we're game seven. You and I should have been
on FaceTime yesterday with each other because I was so frustrated.
I'm only doing positive energy, but I'm only giving some
backstory here frustration, so I could then turn it into
enthusiasm for game seven. We got to stop leaving run
on base with one out, basis loaded, over and over

(36:05):
and over again.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
There's opportunities, there's missed opportunities.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Go yesterday was Game six?

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Is the game of missed opportunities on a book at
the plate in the field.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
I mean, you can't make three airs in game fixed
for the Alps. You just can't do that.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
I don't care if it was a tough play, champion,
is that his best? What is best is needed, Your
best is needed. You can't be throwing the ball away
and look the basis are loaded.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
You can't.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
The only thing you can't do in that situation's ground
and do a double play with one out.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
That I mean, they just can't do it.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
You can't just put the ball in, put your lot,
give me a little pop don't.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Pop up over the exact I was just gonna say,
over the second baseman's head. Just place it anywhere, like
down the third baseline, have it roll into the corner
like be a precarious place.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
That was like all the same.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
How many times did the Blue Jays even even like
hitting off the wall the way that it did and
it took a bad bounce and then Julio couldn't get
it or Julio had to help get it. It's like
a whole thing. So all right, that's Game six. It's over.
This is Game seven of the ALCS. Again, anyone that's
not you know up on the whole Mariners backstory here,
it's been twenty four years since they even made it

(37:14):
to the ALCS. There is this the only Major League
Baseball franchise that has yet to make it to a
World Series. Tonight is going to be our night because
why go.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Okay, I don't know, I'm so I'm such a jaded Mariner.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Fan me and like every Mariner fan not tonight.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Charlie Brown and the football and Lucy. That's what it is.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
But if they if they are going to win a half,
they have to get better starting pitching their starting pitching
was great all year. I mean, probably one of the
top two or three or four starting pitching staffs in baseball.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
But this in this series, it's been garbage.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Well, we can't work at a deficit. We can't.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
We can't give up four runs in the three innings
and then flat it's a solo.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, week home run. We can't do it. We can't
do it. We gotta play.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
We got to play from you know, with with the
lead in our fate. We gotta we gotta have a lead.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Yeah, they gotta. They gotta control the control the at bats.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Enough of these like you know, the the split fingers
trying to get in the swing of junk, Just go
out of them hard, harden inside, Give Blad Guerrero off
the plate?

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Can you let him off the plate? I don't understand this.
I don't get this. The guy hits everything, Well, don't
let him. Don't.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
They hit him yesterday and that's why you got a wide.
He got a face because they did hit him.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
I would say, hit that guy every time he's up, if.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
You know the sport, what's reasonable, yes, or.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
Walk him like, don't don't let him, don't give him
anything to hit because he's gonna demolish it. Pitch him tough,
hid inside, get him off the plate, and and really
the starting pitching has to be offhome George Kirby has
to be like game of his life. And then after
that it's all Luis Catillo comes in and then uh,
Bryce Miller and Brian wu who I mean that that
him not being able to pitch in this series has

(38:57):
been horrible because he's their best starter. But get all
those guys in, give them like two or three things
each and and get the thing done.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
And you're talking about pitching, I'm talking about manufacturing runs
that are not col Rawley home run to tie it
in a Suarez Grand Slam. We have to stop relying
on these big plays. We have opportunities to just play
baseball and not have some grand heroic theme where we're
going to have a Grand Slam that forced you know,

(39:26):
that sends us even into a game six.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Enough, I'm glad.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
You brought that up. That is what it's been killing me, Like,
stop swinging for the fence. How about the nice blind
drive in the right field?

Speaker 3 (39:36):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (39:36):
And also was a plank can remember where he thought
it was a home run and he starts walking to
first base. I said, girl, this is fundamentals. We have
to run to the first base. We cannot pretend that
we're Ken Griffy Junior and you just pimp that swing
and you're going to take your sweet ass time walking
first base. No, how is everyone's blood pressure right now
going into first we have This has never happened in

(40:00):
the history of Mariners baseball. We have never made it
to the World Series and we are one game away
and then to the wire.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
We've never been one game away from the world This
is this is it's unprecedented.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Bob.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
Sorry, we don't know about they got it. You're right,
shortened the swing up, just hit some hit some line
drives to the Apple Drive.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Guys, you and I need to get on it.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
You and I need to get on a text chain
tonight because this is my sweet mother. This is my
sweet mother's text from Europe, because she has been in
Europe for the last three weeks and she's had to
wake up every morning at one o'clock to watch these
games and this is her and hitting into double plays
usually don't we don't make this air. They must be nervous.
Calm down, I say her. Commentary of these games.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yea, yeah, they listen to the podcast Calm Down, That's.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
What will you be drinking tonight to calm your nerves?

Speaker 3 (40:52):
I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
You know, I've been on this wine cake because then
you know, I'm trying not to put a lot of
calories in. I mean, but you can't drink wine very
a baseball game. So I'll probably have a couple of
why why not, because that's just.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
That's Okay, We're going to crack. We're going to crack
some cold ones. We don't worry about calories tonight. Okay,
we can burn those off with with with our stress. Okay,
so those are just going to be metabolized real quick.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Sweating enough, I'll sweat out. I'll sweat out the glories,
the stress.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
I just want, okay, yeah, to not take up too
much of your time. I need to I need to
put out some positivity and then we just need a
button on this because this is going to air on Thursday. Okay, yeah,
this is going to air on Thursday. And since we
will have advanced to the World Series for the first
time in our organization's history, your feelings if you could

(41:44):
just even try to imagine how great they will be.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Is going to be?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
What when we are are headed to the World Series
to take on the Dodgers, I.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Mean, I'll start crying. I'll probably start.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
I'm telling you this is true when I was a kid,
and this is the only way I know to communicate
the people who really don't know what it's like to
be a Bear fan. When I was a kid, it
was like the World Series and national relevance. It just
wasn't for the marriage. They were They could play in
the regular sho's going to be the door mat in
the division, but you were You couldn't go to the

(42:18):
World It wasn't It wasn't for you, just for them,
just for the Yankees and the Dodgers and the Tigers
and the Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
It was for them. It wasn't for us.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
And now and then we got closed a couple of
times and have some good teams, but those teams could
never strut the door. They could never come through. One
hundred and sixteen wins didn't even sniff the World's area.
So now and after all this time, even if the
last five years where they needed all they needed was
two bats, they needed two more bats and they would
be good because they had the pitching, and they got
Josh Taylor and they got four as the deadline this year,

(42:46):
and now they're right there.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
I mean, it's all come.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Together and it is I mean, I'm about to cry
right right now.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Why the Barners are not going to turn into a
pumpk midnight. Okay, it's finally our chance to be Cinderella.
So let's save that glass slipper, Prince Charming, because we're
gonna live in the castle.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
God damn it, let's do it, baby, Let's live in
the catlets go. I just want all, like, you know, really,
I just want Mariner fans to be able to taste
a little of something great, you know, before they all die,
because it has.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Been like, yeah, well well one did. My grandma.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
She died and she didn't see theater be great. You
didn't get to see it. She didn't get to see
the Mariner's greatness. But I know she's watching from heaven.
So Judy, sprinkle a little angel dust out there, and
let's just keep flat at Bay and let's make sure
that we start manufacturing some runs and not leave runners
in scoring positions.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Okay, short swing, short stroke, good pitching, and don't throw
the ball away.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
Let's go. We can do this.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Let's go and on Thursday, and now everybody knows that
they did it.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Knock on wood. I don't want to drink to them.
Knock on wood. Uh, let's go. We can. We can
take the dodgery. We can take them. They're both pen trash,
so we can. We can.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
We can keep on that, so knock on wood and uh.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Go Marriners, Barriners on three one two three go Barners.
All right, baby, Bory, you are you're the best. Thank
you for coming on that. Hey, Aaron's gonna put you
and I on a text chain for tonight. Yeah, okay, bye.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
All right, love you bye bye.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Well, as you know if you've listened to the Comment podcast,
this is a very chaotic time of year for Aaron
and I football season in the best way possible.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
We love the chaos.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
It is a job that we absolutely love, have wanted
to do our whole lives. But it also means that
we have to stay very organized. And no one is
more organized in chaos than my girl.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Right there, she's the quote. You are.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
You are the queen of a list, and I wish
I was more like you. How do you keep it
all together? Well, let me tell you what my list
said this morning, called the dentist because you lost your
visa line on the road. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it
has taken me three years and I lost my night guard.
Not great, but I will tell you my kid is
all set. You know why because thanks to Gerber, I

(45:17):
want to talk to you about having some routines. They
help me keep mine. And by the way, if you
haven't noticed, this segment is brought to you by Gerbert
So football season, chrisy, you get this.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
It's crazy. We travel to cover games. Then you, by
the way you travel, you do your game, and then
you're on the first flight out to do a sit
down interview, which you don't get enough credit for.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
It's bananas easy, Breezy. I don't have a child at
home to take care of like you do. So again,
this is all about how it is that you maintain
because I really I marvel at this. Willis can self
feed himself, treats that to not feed himself.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
But Gerber makes him want to feed himself. They make
it very easy.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
We also have our small businesses we have, you know,
co hosting a podcast, and like you said, yes, being
a mom, it's a lot. And that's why I'm so
excited to be teaming up with Gerber to make football
season a little bit more family friendly, to help us
all juggle it all. During the football season, every day
feels like a game day basically because I have no
time to spare at all. You want to know some

(46:16):
things they do to make it all easy, I.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Would love to.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
I actually was just going to ask you, so I
know what your game day looks like. You were on
the sideline for America's Game of the Week, working working hard.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
What does your game day with Mac look like?

Speaker 1 (46:28):
So game day with Mac is, let's just get them ready.
And this is hard for school first, because this is
a whole thing. They don't understand it's time to go.
They don't understand, Hey, this traffic really picks up. This
old car drop offline really really starts to get full
after eight o'clock.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
So let's do the thing, my man. So I will
tell you they have a bunch of different pures which
are awesome. So if we didn't get what we liked
out of.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Our breakfast, let's get in the car, I'm going to
give you your puree.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
There's a sweet potat turkey with oads. That's fire. Also,
my man, he needs to stay fueled till probably about
twelve thirty when lunchtime is. And so, you know, like
all of us, we like little snacky doodles, that's what
we say. So they also have these yogurt melts which
are amazing. You can either have them in the pouch.
You could have them in the ziplock.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
You can throw them in a tupperware little thing, so easy,
so portable.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Also the little crunchies. I even eat them. They just
say I love that. Yeah, so good.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
And I have had them in my I'm going to
say backpack, but I don't have that anymore. So the
part of all of this, everybody I've learned as a
mom is like how clean are they? How good are they?
Gerber holds the most clean labeled project certifications of any
baby food brand.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
It's true. They conduct one hundred plus quality checks before
it reaches your kitchen, and it leads the way in safety.
That's a huge piece of mind. It's priceless.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
We all know, and I love it when we are
running to do errands, which I know you love to
do jumping on zoom, calls with players and coaching is
business calls and so forth for small businesses, watching the games,
all the games, like the baseball game tonight, packing for
my next flight. I'm not worried about a lot of
things because with MAC, because I get know. Gerber helps
me out in so many ways.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
So convenient when life is so hard and you don't
think about this stuff until you know.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
I was just going to say I don't have a child,
but I feel like, after what you've just said, these
could be snacks for me at this point.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
It's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
They take the thinking out of it and they make
them portable, which is huge because do you never know
where your next adventure is going to be or where
are we going now? I need you to go here
all this stuff, so it's great. Also, your child has
more activities than any other child. I know that he
needs to stay stimulated and fed at all times.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Good for you, Gerber. People are starting to talk about
MVPs during the football season. I'll tell you who my
MVP is at home. It's Gerber.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
They're the number one choice for parents and made with taste.
Your little ones will love stock up.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Of course, you could learn so much more at Gerbert
dot com to see how there making Game Day more
parent friendly. I've really loved teaming up with them and
they've been amazing. Touchdown it's my favorite party of commercial Zoomy,
such a cute commercial. Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa
