were younger, my mom and dad because they were they
had like five dollars to support all of us with
sweet people. I love them. They would make breakfast for
dinner all the time, and I think it's so fun.
They're like eggs. They're like, who wants pancakes and it's
cheap and it's filling, and go for it. Breakfast is great.
(05:20):
There's so many options for breakfast. We could do bagel

and try to put the fruit dish in front of
Steve or in front of me. No, I love the
fruit dish today. Pancakes and huevas redcherros.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Hey, I got a.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Real thing I'm doing right now. And once you do
it and you send it to others, it ends up
like on your algorithm all the time. Ken and Jarrett
and I like to find drinks or like some sort
of cute snack to make for Christmas morning. Last year
we made these mimosas.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
What did we do?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh, we froze orange juice like into those big you
know cues, cut like the cranberry and something else in it,
and frozen overnight and in the morning we put them
in our fancy little glasses and all that.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, what a time. I love that.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Well, I just had one of those for Halloween and
there was little spiders in the ice field for any holiday.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Love that's a door valve.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know what I'm seeing these gals do on the
algorithm right now. They're taking the old whipped cream and
they're make almost like a whipped cream ball. They're putting
it on a baking sheet. Then they slide it into
the freezer. Then they pull it out.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Then they get it off the baking sheet and they
put it on top of the coco.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh my god, you mean the gals A lot of
people are using them so many things.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's the part where social media is great for all
these different ideas. Pinterest is that for me, I have
been in a deep Pinterest dive because I'm doing that
little garden house thing. So I am all garden all
the time. Just we'll move that hair from your water bottle.
Don't you worry about saying, yeah, it's chrissed dog.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Hairs all over this and me Robert Lopez one, one
two three, not a question, but let Aaron know, food smacks.
That's when we were talking about chicken penders last week
at Lincoln Financial Music Slaps Thank you Robert Lopez won one,
two three. I'll tell you what was slapping was the
Dodgers just had their parade and they had their whole
ceremony inside the.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Stadium, which was so cute.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And by the way, the fact they were able to
get that together in a day and a half is insane.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
The DJ they had is the boys were rolling up
in the bus. Fine.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
You know, we love a good Djail. It makes all
the difference in the world. At the Halloween party that
they had the best DJ. Steve got the night off
from the turntables because Meja shout out to Toby Gonzalez.
She found this was a friend of hers. He was
ftastic and DJ makes all the difference in the world.
(08:31):
Bonfire ninety six, what's going on with willis? I'm glad
to hear he's doing better well. Bonfire ninety six, My boys,
right here, you do behind me because I can't let
him out of my sight sleeping in Daisy's bed, because well,
who cares? He was doing so much better. He got
released from the hospital which he was in for six days,
and then he came home and he hasn't eaten today,
and I'm freaking out and Aaron's already heard me this
(08:53):
morning talk about it. But I'm trying not to like
leap frog to the worst case scenario. I'm just you know,
I'll say this Willis Is, I'm gonna cry.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Okay, here we are, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Willis ate something. We don't know what he ate. He
was on a walk. He picked up something off the
ground where he goes on hikes every day and like
whatever and walks and blah blah blah. And he got
something off the ground and I was like, oh, spit
that out. And I'd try to like pry it out
of his mouth. Before he could I could pry it
out of his mouth, he'd swallowed the thing. And I'm like, up,
gros whatever, the dog's done this, like you know all
dogs do this, right, whatever. And so then a couple
(09:28):
of days later he was like really lethargic and weird
and just not himself. And he wasn't He was like
kind of throwing up his food, not really eating, and
my boy loves a meal anyways, So took him in
and it turns out he got pancreatitis.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I don't know if it's a direct correlation to what
he ate.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Maybe he had picked it up something up. Who knows
the date a couple days before. Anyways, long story short,
I guess it's this thing called pancreatitis, and your pancreas
gets rid of all the toxins in your body. When
it can't do that, then it puts a strain on
your kidney. He started to go into kidney kidneys, started
to go into kidney failure. Situation dramatic and thank god
for the VCA West Side.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Shout out.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
We love. Shout out shout out to the VCA Animal Hospital.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
The nurses and the doctors are so nice.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I have never Steve and I go, we want to
stay here if we ever get sick. They are incredible
customer service. They let me like stay there with him,
like get in his little cage with him, and just
and same with Steve. Anyways, So finally got to bring
him home, and I thought he was I thought he
turned a corner, but now he kind of seems to
be going the other direction. But thank you for asking.
(10:31):
I'm very aware that my dog is twelve years old,
but prior to this, my man was like you would
have thought he was six years old. So I am
just hopeful that the medicine that he's on and some
more time he will be just fine. So it's my
very long winded way of saying, thank you for asking,
And I'm just going to I laid in the dog
bed last night with him. I laid on the ground
(10:51):
over here, made a bed because I just don't want
to leave him alone. It makes me so sad. All right,
I will cry if I keep talking about it. But
thank you for asking.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Next, Okay, I don't know how to transition to Anna
K twenty three. But if y'all were to start in
a movie, what genre of movie would you want it
to be?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And why? John Hughes eighties, nineties.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Early nineties John Hughes for sure, any of those Breakfast Club,
Pretty in Pink, Molly Ringwalld, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Also,
any sort of Nancy Meers movie. Yes, because of the aesthetic,
the holiday, you know, like, oh, I don't know, I'm
b liking on other Nancy Myers movies. We get it,
but like the aesthetic that she has. Something's got to
(11:33):
give all of those kinds of things A rom com.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I think Pretty.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Woman still only us, Yeah, all of those.
Speaker 2 (11:44):

your name the right way. No, h my parents put
an agent it and people are still confused. Couples costumes
yay or nay? Carissa, I did it. I did a
couple's costume with Steve and I this year because it
was the last second costume. So we're like, shit, what
we have in this house? Ripping Beth, Fine, go for it.
(12:35):
I love couples costumes. I think they're adorable. Yeah, you
guys did a whole family cost which was so cute.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Tell us go Nemo. We did Finding Nemo.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
As I think I've discussed, Mac has been so busy
with Halloween, and this is something we're going to talk
about on the Big Show. My man had been celebrating
Halloween for two months. He had four different costumes. The
day comes, we have a raging air infection with a fever.
So Halloween wasn't really our day, but he gutted it out.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
He tried to. He tried to have a Michael Jordan game, but.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Me well, luckily he had the five days before that.
He really did Halloween any where.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
The man so many blue bashes.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Believe how patient he was with face painting. He is
only two years old. And you guys, Aaron will show
I'm sure some of these elaborate costumes that she had
for the kid for the week leading up to Halloween.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
They were so incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
He was good.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And today he just got a hair like his hair
trimmed at our house and he just got there watching
the Dodgers parade being so cute. He was the sweet
little Joe was asking questions and he was like.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, oh baby by a boy. Yeah, he's very into
Aaron right now. It was very cute to see. When
I was over there the other day, wanted to sit
by you.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy. And that kid is smart.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I'm not just saying this because it's your One of
Jared's friends had given them him a Blue Jays had
a course because share it's from Canada. And he saw
the Blue Jays logo because we're watching the World Series
game on the TV, and he goes, mommy, mommy, and
then pointing to his pack. I was like, wait a minute,
association like that. That is like a five year old,
not a two year old.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We talked about bringing Auntie Carrissa to Disney and we said,
would you want Auntie Carrissa to come with you?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, and then he looks over at Stephen goes.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Mmmmcause I wanted Steve to the tip of his tongue.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So if he can't do it, He's like, m but
you don't know you there?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, he was so at Anyways, I was very like
Macaroon valedictoriannxt Emma, my.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
New coworker insinuated he knows more about football and sports
than me twenty five year old girl. Okay, oh you're
a twenty five year old girl. Now I want to
prove him wrong. Any tips on learning more about players, stats,
overall gameplay? Not an ad, but Ryan, can we see
if they want to support the podcast. I think the
Athletics has such great articles. There's so much stuff now
(15:04):
like out there that you can just you know what
I do. I google every single player. That's literally my OCD.
When I prep for a game, I go through their
entire la la la la la roster, like uh depth chart,
and I go through every player And I don't need to,
but I just feel panicked if I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I would say no.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I think doesn't matter if you are new to the sport,
if you are a twenty year veteran, if you are
whatever it is, at whatever level that you're at. I
think that anything like is I mean, more information is
always good.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Emma.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
First of all, I am sorry that your new coworker
insinuated that he knows more about it. It's a competition,
it's not a competition at all. But here's what we're
going to do, Emma. We're going to kick his ass
with knowledge. And here's what you're going to do for that.
You're going to find out who his team is, okay,
and then you are going to do a deep dive
into his team, and then you're going must exactly ask
us question. We'll help you. And so also, my other
(16:02):
suggestion is record one of the shows, whatever it is
that you like, a daily show that talks about sports, Okay,
that talks about the NFL. Record that and then make
that your homework. At least watch two of them a
week or whatever, make a couple notes, and then just
keep adding to the knowledge and fuck that guy by
the way. No, so we got your girl, and about
(16:25):
anything you need, we'll let you well, we'll help you.
They all right, you guys, thank you as always. I
know we say it every week, but I think it
is important to remind you how much we appreciate you
guys writing any questions, uh, comments, concerns, anything. If you
don't want us to know what your handle is, you
can write it anonymously. But thank you for joining us
(16:47):
and parking conversation every week with the pregame, join us
on the Big show.

to talk about what year that was, but that was
my go to look. It was very cute, Okay, Stratton Mama.
(04:45):
If you had to choose one breakfast, lunch and dinner,
what would you survive on?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Breakfast?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Breakfast?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Lunch so hard, it's a struggle.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, breakfast all It would be mine too. When we
were younger, my mom and dad because they were they
had like five dollars to support all of us with
sweet people. I love them. They would make breakfast for
dinner all the time, and I think it's so fun.
They're like eggs. They're like, who wants pancakes and it's
cheap and it's filling, and go for it. Breakfast is great.
(05:20):
There's so many options for breakfast. We could do bagel
and locks, we could do French toasts. The other day,
Steve and I went to brunch at the place, you
know the place, and we went around two. We went
to go this time fantastic, you know, yeah, cheers to us.
We've got pancakes or I got pancakes. And I even
(05:40):
got an egg dish and then it's like, you know, yeah,
it was like it was like this for Tata, like
Enchilada situation, and you know what it's like it.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Wass sure.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It was the like hearty kind where like the waiter
made a very like you know, gender specific like thought
it was the boy's dish because it was so heavy,
and I go, no, no, no, no no, that's mine, that's mine,
and try to put the fruit dish in front of
Steve or in front of me. No, I love the
fruit dish today. Pancakes and huevas redcherros.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Hey, I got a.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Real thing I'm doing right now. And once you do
it and you send it to others, it ends up
like on your algorithm all the time. Ken and Jarrett
and I like to find drinks or like some sort
of cute snack to make for Christmas morning. Last year
we made these mimosas.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
What did we do?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh, we froze orange juice like into those big you
know cues, cut like the cranberry and something else in it,
and frozen overnight and in the morning we put them
in our fancy little glasses and all that.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, what a time. I love that.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Well, I just had one of those for Halloween and
there was little spiders in the ice field for any holiday.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Love that's a door valve.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know what I'm seeing these gals do on the
algorithm right now. They're taking the old whipped cream and
they're make almost like a whipped cream ball. They're putting
it on a baking sheet. Then they slide it into
the freezer. Then they pull it out.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Then they get it off the baking sheet and they
put it on top of the coco.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh my god, you mean the gals A lot of
people are using them so many things.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's the part where social media is great for all
these different ideas. Pinterest is that for me, I have
been in a deep Pinterest dive because I'm doing that
little garden house thing. So I am all garden all
the time. Just we'll move that hair from your water bottle.
Don't you worry about saying, yeah, it's chrissed dog.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Hairs all over this and me Robert Lopez one, one
two three, not a question, but let Aaron know, food smacks.
That's when we were talking about chicken penders last week
at Lincoln Financial Music Slaps Thank you Robert Lopez won one,
two three. I'll tell you what was slapping was the
Dodgers just had their parade and they had their whole
ceremony inside the.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Stadium, which was so cute.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And by the way, the fact they were able to
get that together in a day and a half is insane.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
The DJ they had is the boys were rolling up
in the bus. Fine.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
You know, we love a good Djail. It makes all
the difference in the world. At the Halloween party that
they had the best DJ. Steve got the night off
from the turntables because Meja shout out to Toby Gonzalez.
She found this was a friend of hers. He was
ftastic and DJ makes all the difference in the world.
(08:31):
Bonfire ninety six, what's going on with willis? I'm glad
to hear he's doing better well. Bonfire ninety six, My boys,
right here, you do behind me because I can't let
him out of my sight sleeping in Daisy's bed, because well,
who cares? He was doing so much better. He got
released from the hospital which he was in for six days,
and then he came home and he hasn't eaten today,
and I'm freaking out and Aaron's already heard me this
(08:53):
morning talk about it. But I'm trying not to like
leap frog to the worst case scenario. I'm just you know,
I'll say this Willis Is, I'm gonna cry.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Okay, here we are, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Willis ate something. We don't know what he ate. He
was on a walk. He picked up something off the
ground where he goes on hikes every day and like
whatever and walks and blah blah blah. And he got
something off the ground and I was like, oh, spit
that out. And I'd try to like pry it out
of his mouth. Before he could I could pry it
out of his mouth, he'd swallowed the thing. And I'm like, up,
gros whatever, the dog's done this, like you know all
dogs do this, right, whatever. And so then a couple
(09:28):
of days later he was like really lethargic and weird
and just not himself. And he wasn't He was like
kind of throwing up his food, not really eating, and
my boy loves a meal anyways, So took him in
and it turns out he got pancreatitis.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I don't know if it's a direct correlation to what
he ate.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Maybe he had picked it up something up. Who knows
the date a couple days before. Anyways, long story short,
I guess it's this thing called pancreatitis, and your pancreas
gets rid of all the toxins in your body. When
it can't do that, then it puts a strain on
your kidney. He started to go into kidney kidneys, started
to go into kidney failure. Situation dramatic and thank god
for the VCA West Side.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Shout out.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
We love. Shout out shout out to the VCA Animal Hospital.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
The nurses and the doctors are so nice.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I have never Steve and I go, we want to
stay here if we ever get sick. They are incredible
customer service. They let me like stay there with him,
like get in his little cage with him, and just
and same with Steve. Anyways, So finally got to bring
him home, and I thought he was I thought he
turned a corner, but now he kind of seems to
be going the other direction. But thank you for asking.
(10:31):
I'm very aware that my dog is twelve years old,
but prior to this, my man was like you would
have thought he was six years old. So I am
just hopeful that the medicine that he's on and some
more time he will be just fine. So it's my
very long winded way of saying, thank you for asking,
And I'm just going to I laid in the dog
bed last night with him. I laid on the ground
(10:51):
over here, made a bed because I just don't want
to leave him alone. It makes me so sad. All right,
I will cry if I keep talking about it. But
thank you for asking.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Next, Okay, I don't know how to transition to Anna
K twenty three. But if y'all were to start in
a movie, what genre of movie would you want it
to be?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And why? John Hughes eighties, nineties.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Early nineties John Hughes for sure, any of those Breakfast Club,
Pretty in Pink, Molly Ringwalld, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Also,
any sort of Nancy Meers movie. Yes, because of the aesthetic,
the holiday, you know, like, oh, I don't know, I'm
b liking on other Nancy Myers movies. We get it,
but like the aesthetic that she has. Something's got to
(11:33):
give all of those kinds of things A rom com.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I think Pretty.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Woman still only us, Yeah, all of those.
Speaker 2 (11:44):

your name the right way. No, h my parents put
an agent it and people are still confused. Couples costumes

couple's costume with Steve and I this year because it
was the last second costume. So we're like, shit, what

(12:35):
I love couples costumes. I think they're adorable. Yeah, you
guys did a whole family cost which was so cute.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Tell us go Nemo. We did Finding Nemo.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
As I think I've discussed, Mac has been so busy
with Halloween, and this is something we're going to talk
about on the Big Show. My man had been celebrating
Halloween for two months. He had four different costumes. The
day comes, we have a raging air infection with a fever.
So Halloween wasn't really our day, but he gutted it out.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
He tried to. He tried to have a Michael Jordan game, but.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Me well, luckily he had the five days before that.
He really did Halloween any where.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
The man so many blue bashes.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Believe how patient he was with face painting. He is
only two years old. And you guys, Aaron will show
I'm sure some of these elaborate costumes that she had
for the kid for the week leading up to Halloween.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
They were so incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
He was good.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And today he just got a hair like his hair
trimmed at our house and he just got there watching
the Dodgers parade being so cute. He was the sweet
little Joe was asking questions and he was like.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, oh baby by a boy. Yeah, he's very into
Aaron right now. It was very cute to see. When
I was over there the other day, wanted to sit
by you.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy. And that kid is smart.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I'm not just saying this because it's your One of
Jared's friends had given them him a Blue Jays had
a course because share it's from Canada. And he saw
the Blue Jays logo because we're watching the World Series
game on the TV, and he goes, mommy, mommy, and
then pointing to his pack. I was like, wait a minute,
association like that. That is like a five year old,
not a two year old.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We talked about bringing Auntie Carrissa to Disney and we said,
would you want Auntie Carrissa to come with you?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, and then he looks over at Stephen goes.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Mmmmcause I wanted Steve to the tip of his tongue.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So if he can't do it, He's like, m but
you don't know you there?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, he was so at Anyways, I was very like
Macaroon valedictoriannxt Emma, my.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
New coworker insinuated he knows more about football and sports
than me twenty five year old girl. Okay, oh you're
a twenty five year old girl. Now I want to
prove him wrong. Any tips on learning more about players, stats,
overall gameplay? Not an ad, but Ryan, can we see
if they want to support the podcast. I think the
Athletics has such great articles. There's so much stuff now
(15:04):
like out there that you can just you know what
I do. I google every single player. That's literally my OCD.
When I prep for a game, I go through their
entire la la la la la roster, like uh depth chart,
and I go through every player And I don't need to,
but I just feel panicked if I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I would say no.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I think doesn't matter if you are new to the sport,
if you are a twenty year veteran, if you are
whatever it is, at whatever level that you're at. I
think that anything like is I mean, more information is
always good.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Emma.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
First of all, I am sorry that your new coworker
insinuated that he knows more about it. It's a competition,
it's not a competition at all. But here's what we're
going to do, Emma. We're going to kick his ass
with knowledge. And here's what you're going to do for that.
You're going to find out who his team is, okay,
and then you are going to do a deep dive
into his team, and then you're going must exactly ask
us question. We'll help you. And so also, my other
(16:02):
suggestion is record one of the shows, whatever it is
that you like, a daily show that talks about sports, Okay,
that talks about the NFL. Record that and then make
that your homework. At least watch two of them a
week or whatever, make a couple notes, and then just
keep adding to the knowledge and fuck that guy by
the way. No, so we got your girl, and about
(16:25):
anything you need, we'll let you well, we'll help you.
They all right, you guys, thank you as always. I
know we say it every week, but I think it
is important to remind you how much we appreciate you
guys writing any questions, uh, comments, concerns, anything. If you
don't want us to know what your handle is, you
can write it anonymously. But thank you for joining us
(16:47):
and parking conversation every week with the pregame, join us
on the Big show.
Speaker 3 (16:51):

about it.
