Speaker 1 (00:10):
All right.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
So this week I got a prep email from one
mal Read which was very exciting, with subject line Anna
Bloody Jackson and body of the email notes on the
posh one, the one, the only, the very very posh.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Anna Jackson is.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
She's well everyone, I've not seeing you in so long.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Hi, honey, I know, in less than twelve hours. I know,
I know she left.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Don't even start.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm so deprived of seeing both of you in persons.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'm so jelly.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
I know, Carrie, kay, it's been a while before you.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
I just had to coach chat with Anna. Just loosen
her up a little bit, Tommy, I was actually saying,
so when I work with obviously with both of you,
but when I work with Anna, she thinks she's like
the queen at NBC. And I was like, well, here
is the queen of the podcast. So I've got two
absolute queens that boss me around everywhere. I've got both
of you.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
No, you are so wrong, mal Thanks Gara, NNA.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I could not think of a worst description for somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
But Anna does not think that she is the queen.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
She is the most lovely, happy to help anybody.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
She's never from on high.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
She just down to earth lovely, slightly posh person in
our life, and I might act like the Queen.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Here I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
I'm sorry and as you shaid, because otherwise.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
You are doing me a disservice. I'm going to say
this to the audience, to the listeners. You're selling me
out to be something that I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Come on, just.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Okay, are you from the South?

Speaker 4 (01:54):
I mean I'm from the south, the south of the
bottom of England.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Sure that's posh.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Wait isn't Essex in the south the South?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Isn't that like the Jersey Shore of England? It is?

Speaker 5 (02:05):
It is?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I wouldn't consider that to be.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
So she's London one point one point redundant. Please continue?
Okay too, did you go to nor Girls School? I did,
but that was yeah. Yeah. But it's all part of
the story, Mail, It's all part of becoming who you
are in life, I know.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
So anyway, Anna's posh and we love it. We love
you for it because I'm a bit common. So you
each other name Chip?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yes, a friend named Chip.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
But to clarify, her name is Chip because she breastfored
like a chipmunk, So therefore as her best friends. As
soon as we found this story out, she will eternally
be known as Chip, which is fair enough.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I think, which is pretty past though.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Okay, So Kira, listen to the story that Anna is
going to say about Chip and Jim Nance.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
It's a funny story. So my best mate Chip, we've
been best mate since we've been i know, four or
five years old.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
She knows absolutely.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Nothing about golf, nothing about golf. Her husband knows nothing
about golf. He's in the like the interior design world.
He's just launched a new range of interior design in London.
She's just sort of there. They've got three kids. She's
just sort of like there as the wife. She's hilarious.
I mean, she is the most untrustworthy. She's very melreed.
She's one of the most untrustworthy person that you wouldn't

(03:17):
put in of people that you really want to impress.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
That's a that's a fair point.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
She is a reprobate. Yeah, very very value.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Anyway, some might say.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yeah, it turns out she is in the room happens
to randomly be Jim Nance. She's got no idea who
Jim Nants is. Obviously, you know nothing about the girl.
So I wake up at five am. I think during
the week of the US Open, and I wake up
to a photo of Chip saying surprise, And there she is,
just sending me a photo of like of her basically
got her leg copped round Jim nance at like a

(03:51):
black tie dinner. She's like, look who I was with
last night.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I was like, in what world? How of these two worlds?
Call I did? Anyway?

Speaker 4 (04:01):
He was there for a function. He she she called me,
and she goes, Jim Nutts fucking loves me. I have
to beat Chips that you're a joke.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I know I should get Chip on the pod.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
I should get Chip.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
We need both of you on the pod.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Anyway, well, Anna, you have become lore on the pod.
You know how when podcasts go on for a while,
you start developing these jokes and.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Friends of the pod.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
So I got a message the other day from this
girl that said I was in Jackson, Wyoming and when
I saw the Jackson sign.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
All I could think was Anna Jackson.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Famous famous? Why did that come? I don't like it?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Does it? No?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Because you? I think so?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (04:51):
Maybe it was me? Think it was you because I
was partially doing.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Sure you introduce yourself on the show on Golf Channel.

to be there and happy about life, and you go, hello,

Shall always so much to discuss always. I know someone's
got to be happy to be there talking about golf,
haven't they?

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Anna, isn't it amazing when an American tries to do
a British accent? It's one of my favorite things.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, it's always it's either like cool blind me or
is it the Queen? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, I think I trend toward queen.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's so good.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
It's not bad.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's just be nice, be Niceah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
To me and big it isn't the best?

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Is it as good as like my American accent? Because
I feel like I feel like I to maybe like
do like a whole show in American.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Sounds like a cross between Minnesota and Texas.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Yeah, she's too Poshita in accent?

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Can you do an American accent?

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Hang on?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
I can I do South? Hey, Okay, hey y'all, hang on.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
No, I can't.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
I don't watch much American TV anymore, so I can't
do it.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Sorry, sorry, But you do you like literally live in America?

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah? Yeah, I watch.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
So Anna, for those that might not know Anna the
way that we know Anna, Anna is an incredibly talented
host and broadcaster and media personality at Golf Channel and
NBC Sports. So that is how we all came to
know each other. We all work together from time to time,
which is always so much fun.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
But Anna, you.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Mentioned before the story of how our lives all come
to be and all girls school and all of that,
So take us back to the beginning and how you
actually found yourself from the south of England all the
way in lovely Stanford, Connecticut.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Gosh, all the way back to the beginning, so just
twenty two years ago then. So so I was very,
very like and I do say lucky because you don't
really you don't choose the family that you're born into,
do you. But luckily my family loved golf. They just
bloody loved golf. So golf, I suppose has It's always
been a part of my life. It's I used to

(07:18):
go down to the range with my dad and then
I picked up a few lessons, but as a kid
with my mate Catherine, and we'd like the motivation of
the lesson would be the longest drive of the lesson
would get a free twigs back in the pro shop.
And I was pretty rotund as a child, so that
was the perfect.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Yeah, she was a bit poor.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
But she's very tall now, so it was stretched out.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
It all stretched out.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
So golf. Golf was kind of always there, always, always
in my life. And then I there was something there
was I think at school growing up, I always just
loved performing, which is kind of weird because I was
a bit of like a shy, introverted kid. But there
was something about like getting up in front of the
class and doing a presentation or an assembly or there
was just something I just always loved. Always a big

(08:06):
drama gal, a big music gal. So that was I'd
love the performance side. And then ended up going to
UNI and doing theater at UNI.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Quickly that's why Anna and I are friends. Yeah, I
know we love a good musical. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I quickly realized I wasn't never going to be a
sespian that's just wasn't the road. But my UNI had
an amazing college TV department, so they had like a
little college student studio, so I would like I started
to just go in there and like present the student
show that would then get put out across the canteen

(08:39):
and the library, Like you had these videos somewhere, I'm
Oxord Brooks TV. I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
You have to find that.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
So anyways, so then I and I was like God,
I was like, this is great, Like this is so fun.
I'm loving this. So after I guess three years at UNI,
I put a little like Universe you show Real together,
and I was like, how am I going to turn
this into a job? What?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
What?

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Where do we go from here? And so honestly, for
those four or five years out of UNI, the amount
of crap because I hadn't really considered sport because this
is what twenty ten, twenty eleven, this, There weren't really
many women really broadcasting in sport even fifteen years ago,

(09:27):
so I never really connected the dots. So like the
opportunities that were there were like red carpet reporting and
dating shows and property shows, and so again God forbid
the depth of YouTube what's out there?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
But like, oh my god, this is quite funny. Sorry,
like an.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Example of the kind of stuff that.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
I was trying to do. Like, yeah, I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
I'm not sure if the phrase gimp mask has come
up on this podcast. But no time like the present.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Again.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
You know what that is, don't you?

Speaker 4 (09:57):
No?

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yes, I knew she wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
Know what it is.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
What is a give man?

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Just explain it.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
I'm terrified I'm going to google it. I probably wouldn't
google it, but anyway, so I had.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
A don't google on your work computer.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh it's too late.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I was like, maybe it should I not presenter, Yeah,
just presenter, carry on?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
What my god?

Speaker 4 (10:23):
So, for example, so I saw an advert and it
said it said like looking for young female outgoing doesn't
mind putting on the odd costume. I was thinking, oh,
kids TV presenter, you know, putting on whatever a Christmas
outfit at Christmas. I was like, oh, you know, I
can high energy likes to laugh at it. I was like, okay,

(10:43):
let's go, got the bus across London, go to this place.
Follow the address and I get there and it is
a sort of a warehouse with the word in thirty
foot letters in red flame with a arrow on the
end of the ease. Go in there, and I'm like, hmm,
go up the stairs. Relatively normal people upstairs in the

(11:06):
little interview area, and all around the room was Mannikins
with like latex sex outfits, gimp masks.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Sex toys.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
I was like, oh, oh god, and anyway, being so English.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
And you were like, yes, this is light.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
But they were paying like five hundred quid a day,
and when you're twenty one, that's a lot of money. Anyway,
So I was far too English and way too per
late to walk out. So I did the interview and
they were like, so, how would you feel about interviewing
someone in a mask?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I was like, yeah, so yeah, give it a go.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
I think I think about it, but shouldn't be a problem,
did you?

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Did you?

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Obviously not? So I knocked down and I called my mom.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I was like, Mom, this company's paying five hundred quid
a day.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
I mean this, this could pay my rent for the
next six months, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
Et cetera.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
And she was like, Anna, if you do that on
the internet, and that will ruin your career for the
resume anyway, So these were like the kind of like
little things I was testing out anyway, So fast forward
it must have been yeah, twenty thirteen fourteen. I've been
doing odd jobs for a couple of years. Me and
my dad end up going down to Ladies European Tour
event because we lived about twenty minutes from the home
of the LT at the buckingham Shire and I got

(12:20):
chatting to some of the women who worked on the
LT and they were like, you know what we can
actually do with someone to come down and host a
couple of q and as at our events. So I
did that for like a couple of months, and just
at that time, I saw a publication come out about
a show called Golfing World back in the UK and
I'm deproduction that was broadcast on Golf Channel and sky

(12:41):
Sports Golf, and they were looking for a new female
host for the it's like a weekly magazine show because
our good friend Cara bangs Was had been hosting the
show for a few years and was about to jump
ship op to golf channels, so.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
They were looking for new plays.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
So I was like, oh, this looks interesting, so went
over to IMG chatted to the producers. You enough about golf.
I could swing a club and.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Before I know, it's all you need. That's all you need.
Come January a little bit, that's all right.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Come January twenty fifteen, I was on a plane out
to Abbi Dabby for the first dB World Tour event
of the season. Doing four or five four years of
a twenty five to thirty week on the road schedule
on the Ladies European Tour, the LPGA, PGA Tour, DP
World Tour. We were doing like travel destination guides, we
were doing golf tips.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
It was the dream job.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
And that's the first and that's really so we first met.
That's when we first met through the powers of golfing
world wordsmel a guest.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Yeah, she came up to Derby, well not an interview,
and came to my golf course course when we did
a little interview at my golf course. That's how I
first met Anna Jackson.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Jackson years ago, best twos ever since about ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Now yeah, he'sh gosh and look at us now, look
at us now, oh, look at you guys.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Now I've just attached myself.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, that's when I had blonde peroxide.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes, that is when you had peroxide blonde hair.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Side blonde hair, my little flyways, and probably my collarage
bleach blond.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, you little cheeky to at.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
My mate used to do that for me. You know,
one pound fifty used to cost us. We used to
go down to the local hairdresser shop, the really cheat ones,
and she used to buy a bottle of bleach and
she sewed my hair for me until it started falling out,
and then decided to go to a hairdresser.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
I mean, I would act shocked, but I'm not.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Don't be shot.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Mel Is though developing her look.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Though in the Golf Channel, she's she's opened up to
pick eyelashes.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
She allegedly wore her hair down.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Oh my gosh, this was gonna say, no, what is
wrong with us? We missed out on breaking the Internet
without posting your photos of wearing your hair down on
air Life for the very first time in history and
probably the only time.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Yeah, probably the only time. I felt no, Kira, I
did do it for the pod. I did it for
the people. I've never so uncomfortable with my entire life.
And I couldn't stop touching my hair. I couldn't I
couldn't even focus. I couldn't get my words out. I
didn't do a good show, and so that's why I
put up for the great good job.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
I didn't. I wasn't in a place where I was
sat in front of a TV during the pregame show
and I was like, oh.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
That's fine, I'll catch her on the post game.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
So I'm I'm ready to go. I'm excited to watch Mel.
And you're going through the highlights and blah blah blah.
Scoreboard comes leaderboard comes up, and then you go into
the studio.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Hello, I'm at a Texan.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Read and Brandon Young and who is her hair up?

Speaker 1 (15:32):
But Mel Reid?

Speaker 2 (15:33):
I was furious, absolutely furious. Yeah, ridiculous, But I want,
I want, I need to ask somebody to clip it.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I'll text somebody.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
It looked great. You looked awesome. For the record, I didn't.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
I think it would have been better if it was straight,
But I don't know anyway. Yeah, maybe I'm proud.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
And your hair looked great, and I always.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well you looked great too. You looked great, however, angle
the thanks. I just love to see you out of
your comfort zone.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah it's awesome, isn't it. Thank you? For that.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Ana.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
When you did this four or five year schedule, that's
a grueling travel life. How did you How did you
make the transition then to moving to Levely Orlando? That
was where that was your first stop before Stanford?

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, it was. And were you already married or not
dating Tom by then?

Speaker 4 (16:36):
No? So when I was doing Golfing World, I started
to kind of cross over a little, you know, you
just kind of meet people in chatting. That time at
Golfing World was so fundamental and crucial to learning about
golf industry and tournaments and agents and getting to know
players and all that kind of stuff. And I just
got to know the guys and girls at Golf Channel.

(16:58):
So I ended up kind of reporting in little bit
for the Golf Channel as the European Insider. And then
after I know, six months of on and off doing that,
I had an email from Molly Solomon saying would you
like to come out and be our new morning drive
host out in Orlando? And Tom and I had maybe
been dating, i know, two years. I was like, how'd

(17:19):
you feel about moving to Orlando, honey? And there was
no ring on the finger, there was no there was
no long term commitment, there. It was just a hunch.
It was just a hunch that this was going to
work out. And yeah, so he was like.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
He was like, screw it. You know when opportunities like this.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Come out, home will always be there, and like, man, like,
you can probably attest to this, like you've just got
to do it, and if it doesn't work out, you
can come home, but you've just got to try it.
So we packed up our flat, packed up our bags,
and off we went to Orlando, Florida. And it was
surreal bearing your mind as well.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
I was on the morning.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Drive schedule, so you lad and within three days, I'm
up five days a week at three forty five in
the morning, in makeup at four fifteen. Like the sights
that you see in downtown Atlanta at four am is
quite something. But yeah, so that was well. But then
having said that, like what what what a cool thing
to do to host a breakfast show? You were done
by nine am. So Tom and I would be playing

(18:14):
golf most afternoons. I'd be in bed by seven thirty eight.
No kids, had all the freedom I could ever dream of.
And yeah, it was awesome, but we were only there
for about eighteen months and then obviously COVID here and
then we all relocated up to Stamford.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
So it was a bit of a dream.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Surreal eighteen months in Florida, but amazing.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Very cool. They got fever dream.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Kind of kind of and I missed the freedom. Kids
are great, but I do.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
They're so cute. You're so cute.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yes, they are quite c and we actually we're all
still in bed at seven thirty eight o'clock. Anyway, I'm
literally a sleep by nine o'clock. Mate, don know what's
happen to me.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I know.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
I'm losing my mojo. My reputations going down the hill.
It's going down the drain.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Happens for the best of us.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
Anna's diagnosed me. Did you hear about this last week?

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Did she do this on air?

Speaker 5 (19:06):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
No, I don't want air.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
Well, no, not on air officially, but it was off air,
so when I there was a big distinction. Okay, so
we've come to the conclusion that I'm dyslexic because and
Anna's diagnosed me.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
And I actually think she's right.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Does that surprise you, Kierra, No, I could totally see that. Yeah,
so respectfully, no, I'm listening for sure, now I know.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Now I know I can go and get some help
so I can actually read off like because okay, I
taxt Kira. When I was doing that whole thing about
like the Japanese golfers and the Thai golfers, I get
quite confused, like reading letters and stuff, and so I
think that's why I was muddling it up a little bit.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
And by the way, this isn't This wasn't like mel
step into my office, I think you're dyslexic. It was
like we were we were having a conversation and she
like stumbled overwhere and she was like, oh, my gosh's
that I think I'm dyslexic.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
I was like, oh, yeah, for sure, definitely, No, I.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Think I am, and I'm a bit like Darty. And
so I'm going to go and thanks to Anna, I'm
actually going to go and get actual diagnosed, not just
by doctor Anna over here.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Doctor I think you also texted me that Anna diagnosis
having attention deficit to sort.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Of yes, I would also see.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
No, I definitely have that.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
But it's ideal when you're doing broadcasting.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
It is a little hard because broadcast requires you to
be so unnaturally focused and for somebody that struggles with
a little bit of focus from time to time.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
It can be not your happy place.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, And the problem is because you have that as well,
don't you, Anna, Yeah, not the hyperactive, I've got the
hyperwe I think.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I got struggle with focus as well too.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
Maybe it's our age, I know. Well.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
And also this is well, this is kind of how
the conversation came out because we were just chit chatting
away the hours as we do, and we were like,
oh God, what's the word I'm looking for? What's the
word I'm looking for? And I was like, I think
there's a bit of a d D dyslexia going in there. A.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Well, this is the problem. And I do feel quite
bad and I know that this is in me, but
it's just me. So it's just I'm sorry, it's just
what you get. But poor Anna after a show just
wants to go and actually do some adminimum work and
I obviously can't be on my own even I'm next
door to her.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
Next like, what are we doing between shows the next
five hours?

Speaker 1 (21:27):
No, I'm not, my friend.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
I love it like we had it. We saw my
little kids in the park. That was very all now
and now Maxie is calling Mel Mimi, and he's now
just walking around the house saying more, me, Me, more MEMI.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
Have you ever met Anna's kids, Kira, I haven't.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
I think that when when you had your kids in
it was like very COVID.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Yeah, Maxie was very COVID, very cool, very COVID.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Then you hosted us Swims Open with me, Kira.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, Anna was on maternity leave, which is why I
was filling in on some stuff that year, which is
when we first worked together.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, so when I when I would.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Have had the opportunity to spend time with Anna, they
shipped me off to work.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yes, well that's all. We kind of tag team host roles,
so we never whereas like email, you're always next to us,
whereas me and Kara like never actually get to be together,
although we did one segment of the Masters that year,
didn't wait together.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
That was fun without the gals.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, that was so bizarre because all it was Kara, Anna, Me,
all hosts, and then Paige. So she was probably fine,
but Kara, Anna and I probably all have this urge
to lead conversation. So we're Anna and I especially looking
at each other like well what are we doing?

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Like are you gonna are you gonna take it to break?
Are you gonna? Everybody? And I think Anna, you were hosting,
Yeah it is.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
But it is really weird though when you're when you're
not in the host seat, Like it's such a different
mindset when you're like even this for me, I'm normally
the one asking the questions. Being asked questions is not
what I spend most of my time doing. It's such
a it is like a.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Real but it's so fun to be asked questions. I
do kind of like being asked questions. I'm like, this
is me everyone.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
I love it. When Anna asked me a random question,
I've clearly not done any thought on it, and I'm
just like and I just completely go in a different
direction and answer completely different questions.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
So true. Actually, like yesterday, it's like we've planned I
don't even know if you know what I'm about to say,
but like we plan to do like a conversation about
when the Japanese contingency coming through on the LPGA. But
I had been given like a graphic of all the
different five majors on the LPGA this season, so obviously
I was like, so male, what what a major season?

(23:46):
What different winners? You know, first time I visited her,
but she prepped something about Japan and she was like, no,
it had been great, but I will say about these
Japanese players.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
I know I've really fucked up that, but I just
I just brought it back to your prep. That's great
instead of going off about something you have no idea.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
Now trying to bullshit. I was like, well, I prepped
on the Japanese lift. You're probably going to have to
you probably ask me the same question later, but I'm
going to fuck that out for you now because you
just sucked up by asking me a question I didn't know.
So that's how we team up.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
But I have to say Mel, Honestly, Mel like having
you and I know you really don't like it when
people say nice things see your face, but it's going
to happen.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
It's about to happen.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Having you on the desk is such a breath of
freshes because but honestly, like what you are doing. What
you are doing in the women's golf.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Space is.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Like shaping the conversation around a tournament, like players are
actually listening to what you're saying, which is unheard of.
I think in the gold space, like The players love
you because you're total reprobating. Everybody loves that about you.
But you make very valid points with an amazing opinion
from experience, and now you're backing it up with stats
and data. You and Brandle are sort of like the

(24:54):
uncle niece relationship that I never knew I needed in
my life. And I just love sitting on the desk
with you two because he balanced each other so well.
In fact, we have been mistaken as Brandel's daughters before,
so we do tend.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
To Are we allowed to tell that story here? I
think it's so.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
Funny, fucking we're telling the story. Go on, Anna, this
is your moment?

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Was good?

Speaker 5 (25:16):
It was? Where Where were we?

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Group Tour Championship, Florida, November last year? Maybe Daddy took
us Saturday evening? Myself, his amazing wife, Bailey and Brandel
go for dinner. We all have, you know, lovely wine,
a bit of shambers, a couple of cocktails. We're in
the uber on the way back. Brandal sat in the front, me,

(25:41):
Bailey and Meller in the back, just being quite rowdy.
The taxi drivers like, oh, oh sir, what a lovely evening.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
You're out with your three daughters, and we were like,
oh my god, yes he goes, he goes.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
I hope not because I'm one of them. Later and
I said, oh god, I hope it's not me. Bailey goes.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
I hope it's me.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
And so week we were like, hey, daddy, and he
loved it. It isn't hilarious.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Oh it's.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Very good. I absolutely love it. Oh deary, that was
funny ship.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
But yeah, he is now the daddy, the Gulf Daddy
in your life.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
And yeah, no, you guys an amazing job. No, that's
very kind. Why it's easy when I got some amazing hosts.
I you too, so yeah, but anyway, I'm going to
go back to your kids because I fucking love your
kids and I was so excited to meet them. And
Maxie is the cutest little fucking doll I've ever seen
in my life. And he fucking just grabbed my hand. Okay,

(26:49):
so just quietly. I don't know if I've told you
this story. This obviously was last week, so I don't
know why I haven't told you. I've Obviously, my add
got ahead of me. So you know, when we were
getting that smoothie out, that like grocery store place. Yeah,
so I was he was like growing my hand. I
was like, come on, let's go play. So I was like,
oh my god, look at this melon, like, look at
these lemons. And I was like juggling the limes and
he was putting them back and he was having a

(27:09):
lut time. It's like, I don't remember one fucking second,
and oh my god, what's he doing. And he grabbed
an apple and just fucking like just laid into it,
into it, and I was like, we'll be taking this.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
I was going to say, did you put it back
or did you take it?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (27:23):
So then Tom bartman apple and I was presuming it
was the apple that I that had seen him eat,
and when I got outside, I realized that it wasn't
because it was he didn't have a bike mic and
its accidentally, so some poor person in Sanford if they
happened to have half eaten apple, I apologize. That wasn't
my fault.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yeah. By the way, my Maxie is three. It's not
like he's twelve.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oh yeah, I didn't see, but you had a twelve
year old.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
I don't think anyone listeners for the listeners, And.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Then Isla is going to be my I cannot wait
to take her for a beer when she's about fourteen
years old.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
I'm a biscuit of yeah, pleasy on her belt. Yeah yeah.
I don't think I trust you first of all. But
she is fourteen months going on fourteen. She is such
a sasspot. And the obsession with food is.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Never say anything like that, Oh my god, what kind of.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
What is her favorite? What does she go?

Speaker 4 (28:15):
I mean she was basically eating salami when she was
nine months old. Like she is, she's a machine.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
She's an absolute machine.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
And if you don't have a constant flow of food
for her at breakfast, she will squawk at you across
the kitchen.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
And so Anna had given her banana, so she'd already
scoffed that she'd scoffed.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Like some crackers as well.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
And then I had a banana and I literally just
saw this thing coming towards me because it was that
next week holding Eiler and Alic's just got a gob
wide open. It's like, I was like, God, a girl,
no quality?

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Yeah, no, kids they're kids, they're auto kids. They do
they change, they change your life kids, and it's it's
definitely I think that I would say, like for anyone,
for anyone new. I mean, you guys know this who travel,
who really want to have a career, do the traveling
before you have kids, because once they arrives, it is
much harder to I mean, you know, Mel, that's like

(29:11):
part of the reason why you're retired. Like it's just
it's just so hard when they're here, and you know,
you never know what you're going to get with kids.
And like Mel said, Maxi is just like the biggest, heartwarming,
lovable delight in the world. But like we've had a
couple of complications with him, and he has a little
motor speech disorders, so his speech is way behind. It's
like a six month old. Like there's just some kind

(29:32):
of disconnect between what's brain wants to say and just
complete inability to say it. So we're kind of going
down the road of a ton of speech therapy and
he's in a special needs school program, and there's you know,
life can just throw these curve balls, can't they, And
you don't really know what's coming.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
You have a healthy.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Pregnancy and he's an amazing kid, but like we don't
really know what his future look looks like. And when
you're three, you can get away with just being silly
and dancing to yourself in the reflection of windows and
mirrors and just kids in the playground love him because
he's just such an outgoing character. But that's yeah, that's been.
That's like a big part of our week is everything

(30:11):
that sort we can do to help Max to learn
to talk. And maybe I don't know what we'll yeah,
we'll see what his future looks like. But we are
very lucky. But yeah, it's being a parent is intense.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Yeah, well, I think you're doing unbelievable job with him.
You know, you're just going to along the way, aren't
you as well? Like we've speaked about this quite a lot,
and like just on a side note, you know, I
hope that you know that you've got like people around
you that also are willing to help you and support
you in any way you can. Myself here included.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
So you've always us and this is not aware as me.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
You know, we are so lucky, no, no, but for.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
You don't know about it is so powerful, especially I
just think about you know, we exist in this very
forward facing world where we have to be on TV
and smile and just to get it welcome into God.
That blah blah blah, and that what a privilege that is.
How much fun do we have? We've never really had
a real job. It's so it's so great. But at

(31:15):
the same time, you're also a real person behind that
with real life issues, and you have to find a
way to balance, you know, what you're going through at
home and then also coming in and being on live
national television with a smile on your face, and that's
that can be really really hard.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
It's funny. We actually spoke about this last week, didn't we.
We were like, you've literally got it just just a
manic because like we've had some stuff like with you know,
the US. Our car is quite open about it now,
but we you know, we suffered a miscarriage during the
US room was open, and then within three hours I
had to just go on air and pretend that nothing
had happened, do you know what I mean? And just
like la la la la, and like it's crazy, isn't it,

(31:51):
But you just I don't know, you just got to
kind of no.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
That is part of the job. You have to completely
compartmentalize whatever has happened in your day, good or bad,
before you come on live TV and talk about a
sport and as you say, entertain and we're so lucky
to do that job. But I think, yeah, it can
take a lot sometimes just to walk away, you know,
And that's part of the reason why, you know, sometimes

(32:15):
I do struggle a bit with social media. Like I
think of an example, even just a couple of months ago,
my mom is very ill. She has advanced Alzheimer's, and
I don't really get to talk to her that much.
She's now in a care home, and the times that
I do get to talk to her, it's a bit
of a hit or miss as to if she's going

(32:38):
to even respond to me on FaceTime or And it's
only really when my dad goes and sees her now
in a care home, that I sometimes get the chance
to see her.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
And every time it's slightly different.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
And i'd probably say for the last six months, every
time I facetimed her, I don't hear her voice. She
just kind of sits there and watches and listens and
maybe I'll show her the kids. And you know, you
have the guilt of not talking to her, but then
you have the guilt of talking to her, and you
don't really want to because she's, you know, the shadow
of the woman that she was growing up. And the

(33:11):
other day I randomly spoke to her and she was
bizarrely cognitive. It was something that I hadn't experienced with
her in months. And I called and I was like,
I was like, hi, Mom, just you know, positive as always,
and she was like hi.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
I was like, oh, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
And I was like, I'm just at work and she
was like oh.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
I said, yeah, we're coming home soon because we're going
back to England in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
And I said, yeah, we're going to see you soon.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
Mom.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
She she was like, oh are you and she like
give me a big thumbs up over on FaceTime. I
was like, oh my god, this is so weird. And
I was saying, oh, yeah, Tom's over in Scotland. He's
at the Scottish Open and she was like, oh fantastic.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
And.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah. Then you know, you put the phone down and
you kind of reminded all over again as to what
it's like having your mum there to call. And I
think with Alzheimer's I've kind of gotten so used to
her now because it's been building for probably about ten years,
and really the last year or two years, she hasn't

(34:13):
really been a part of my life just because she
her vocabulary is so limited and she just can't really
well she can't. She can barely talk now, let alone
in full sentences. So you get so used to you
kind of grieve her in a way, and then you
have a phone call like that and it brings it
all back again, and then you kind of feel like
you have.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
To grieve her all over again.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
So it's just it's, yeah, it's very very cruel, a
mel you obviously lost your mum in a completely different way,
just in gotten like that. There is no easy way
to lose probably the biggest person in your life, which
is your mom. And I think when we get to
this age, like in our late thirties, you start to

(34:55):
realize that people aren't going to be here forever, and
that's quite a big realization to have, and I think
it really just forces you to try and just live
for the now because you know tomorrow isn't promised and
that's kind of morbid. But the older you get, the
more examples you see of people losing people who are

(35:16):
so close to them, and so yeah, like going back
to England, I do kind of just dread. I kind
of dread seeing my mum and it sounds awful to say,
but you know, I see her and she's so ill.
I mean, I'm sure she still does recognize me, but
there's no real sign of it. And you know, I
have to I have to take I would love her
to see Max and Ela because she kind of comes

(35:37):
to life when she sees.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
The kids, and you know, babies and Alzheimer's.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
There's like a very special connection there with Alzheimer's patients
kind of really it does something in their little brain,
I think when they see a baby. So of course
we'll go and see the kids. And then you fly
back to America and you're like, am I going to
see her again?

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Be like the next time I see her.

Speaker 5 (35:59):
So it's really tough and I can't imagine to be honest,
and like, yeah, I lost my mum, but in a
very different situation. I think you as best as you can. Yeah,
I know it is. Yeah, it's very cool. Life could
be cool. But yeah, no, that was thanks for sharing that,
by the way.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Yeah, yeah, And to be honest, I think me and
Nemal could probably both do it therapy to deal with
maybe we'll go together, you both do with a bit
of help in processing all this because it's a lot.
Let's lot and me and you have sat at a
bar with a glass of wine and you know, gone

(36:40):
deep on our arms and it's it's it's always a
it never ends with a.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Dry eye in the house. And like, no, I agree, Yeah,
I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
But and you're also you're also in a different country
dealing with us from Afar. I mean, that's that must
be just an entirely different level of having to process
this constantly.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Well yeah, but it's almost a blessing and a curse
at the same time, because over the last five years,
i'd say, where she's really needed more support and couldn't
be left at the house by herself. And you know,
that burden obviously fell on my dad, who was really
her full time care really at home for about five years,
and also my brother, who would cut when Dad took

(37:29):
a bit of respite and would go and play golf
with the boys or would go away for the odd weekend.
It would then fall on my brother and that's been
really really hard for him and it takes him, like
it takes him a couple of days to recover from
a weekend with mum back in those days, because it's
just so overwhelming and you can't reason. The worst thing
you can do with someone with Alzheimers is to try

(37:50):
and reason with them and point out that what they're
saying is crazy. And you know, she would like pick
up a bag of I don't know peppers and she'd
be like, well, I can't eat this.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
It's from Spain.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
And she'd have like weird, weird, weird, weird paranoias about
all sorts of different things. She always felt like her
clothes were wet and she was like, oh, get this
off me, it's wet. And bear in mind, just to
paint the picture of my mom and how worlds apart
this person is to who she was. She was the
mom who, you know, I was so lucky for most
of my childhood. She gave up teaching and she spent

(38:26):
most of her time really with me and my brother,
and she was there every netball match, every tennis match,
every lacrosse match. She was always the mom who came
on the school trip. She was the mom who like
sat with me and helped me with my homework, and
she like her whole life was me and my brother
really so. And she was so musical, and she loved entertaining,

(38:49):
and she was full of positivity and so unconfrontational, which
is why I can't deal with arguments because she never
taught me that skill. But she was just so positive
and just such an amazing person. And to see this
degeneration has just been surreal.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
And I know, only really now.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
I'd say, in the last year, can I get through
a conversation like this and not just have a complete meltout?
Because it's just such a loss, and it's such a slow,
drawn out loss, And for anyone going through a parent
or a relative with Alzheimer's or dementia, I feel you.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
It's it's pretty brutal, pretty brutal.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
You also said that the reason you might have been
a little bit poorky when you're younger because she's I
don't know why. My mum used to give me a
boost every time I come back from school.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
So you.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
Do you have boostbars in America?

Speaker 1 (39:44):
I don't know anything that you just said.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
It's a chocolate bar.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Okays a boost? I was like, is she picking her up?

Speaker 5 (39:55):
Like the reason why you're fat when you're a kid
with a chocolate and the other day was just to
buy Why she wasn't she I wasn't really that bit.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
And I've seen a picture she was a little bit
on the bigger side.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
And the same picture.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
Yeah, and it wasn't She couldn't even say, like I
was going to go into it really because she was
already six foot two at the time, and so she goes, Actually,
my mom did used to give feed me a chocolate
bar every time I got back from school, like that
might have been it was, I know.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
But it's true. Like honestly, growing up at school, I
was the tallest person, probably the tallest person in the school,
not just girls. I'm five eleven, but it took a
while for like other especially boys, like yeah, yeah, I
was like eleven, and I was like the tallest bird.

Speaker 5 (40:42):
So oh god, that's why she used to have to
go out on a night out in denim skirts because
she couldn't go out into trousers because it looked like
a flood was coming in.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
God, I will say, don't ask. I don't even know
what she's talking about.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
That's so confused, man, Yeah, skirts went out anyway, everyone
went out and denim skirt.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
I'm five or five in a quarter I worked, I
wore I thought it just I've never worn a denim skirt.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Colored me shocked. What do you wear on a night out,
mel when you're cargo pants?

Speaker 5 (41:20):
Well, actually, actually we've had this conversation when I fished,
start going out and fourteen years when I was straight
back then, yeah, I used to wear actually a white
skirt with white stilettos and really tight like cammis.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
I'm obsessed with white.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
That was the thing. Imagine the filth that.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Ca fil dancer on that's discussed.

Speaker 5 (41:47):
No, I don't think lucky other phones went around then, No, No,
I don't actually no.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
Okay, yeah, we'll discuss with Carly and see what we
can absolutely.

Speaker 5 (41:57):
Not, absolutely not. But hey, I used to slay by then.
I used to snug everyone. Yeah, you know, I'm sure
my tongue hasn't go off, to be honest, creatures, I
put it down.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Now, how many very full life before you guys?

how many people would you snog in one night?

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Well, okay to me and mas fucking hell anna.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Question And we loved the question.

Speaker 5 (42:30):
We used to have like a game me and my mates,
like you could snog the boat most guys and I
did snog a significant amount one night, and I'm not
going to share them because it's fucking so slutty.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Embarrassing, it's disgusting, So I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
I'd probably snog.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
Three there's fine, three fine, But that was an average
nice some nice, you know. I'd have a dry spell
for a couple of nights and then make it up
the other night, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
And there was probably that in between times when you
were women and men, so you're really pumping the numbers
that I was.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
Really nobody was safe in the night club with me.

Speaker 5 (43:08):

I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure Carlie does know what
she's married.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
The story of the and you can tell then time,
but the story of the first time Carlie came back
to meet your family is one of the great stories
of just outrageousness.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
And I'll do it when we have Carli on the show.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Yeah, Okay, have to ask my family for for consent
if I can.

I was like, oh, he's quite funny, it's quite fun
I like him.

Speaker 5 (44:20):
I like him.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
And you met through work stuff.

Speaker 4 (44:22):
Yeah, I met through work stuff. He worked at IMG,
he worked for the European Tour. First met him at
a golf event in China and he was sat behind
me in the media center cracked a joke and I
was like, I was like, yeah, I quite like you
and the it so we sort of kept we sort
of kept meeting and exotic locations, you know on the

(44:44):
European Deep World Tour, you know, and a rooftop in
Dubai at the end of the season and be like,
oh you and you know, we just sort of keep
catching catching each other. And then he's start and then
I did like a digital show called Season Pass, which
was like a weekly update European Tour show. He had
something to do with that, or maybe he made sure
that he had something to do with that. So like

(45:05):
every every Monday in Stockley Park in London at the
IMD offices. We'd have a little chit chat about Season
Pass and then you know, the messages would slowly start
to divert away from Season Pass and the.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
Rest is history. You know, we.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
Love blossomed over the game of golf, all the things
that God in life, all the things that can give
you in life.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Yeah, you fancied the pants off in manner.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
Quite chill about it.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
She saw it was history.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
He's mine. I'm going to eat him up like a
butter cup.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
Yeah, he'll be one of the three guys that I
snapped about guaranteed.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
But no, he's amazing and he is.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
Yeah, so now he is fully he's the writer, he's
the Ryder Cup guy now, so he does all of
the Ryder Cup content.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Documentary which is our best, the Ryder Cup car from
so good.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
Yeah, all that viral stuff that you saw, like back
on the European tour over the last five ten years,
that was like him and his team. So they did
such an amazing job with the tour and then he
moved to the Ryder Cup and now kind of doing both.
But yeah, so we've got Luke Donald and Diane kind
of blasting through his laptop every day essentially on the
phone talking about Beth Page comes September, so we like,

(46:23):
my god, yeah, life, life is golf in this house. Gosh,
you know you win somebody. Yeah, yeah, No, he's he
is a very very creative guy and just loves golf
and it has ideas coming out of every orifice and
just kind of makes makes it happen.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Yeah, yeah, no, he's he's a good lad.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
He's a lad.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
Good lads. We'll keep it.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
We had a nice lunch over the weekend, didn't we.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Yeah, But so not only do I not let Anna
do anything without me anymore, but also when she wants
to have a date with her husband over lunched, I'm like,
you know, I'm coming right where.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
We're going, where we go, I'm going to lunch times.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
Also where we're going?

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Great, great, what time we work for lunch?

Speaker 5 (47:01):
And then what do we do?

Speaker 2 (47:02):
We got friendship bracelets, which you guys are so cute,
but also I'm like mildly offended.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
I knew you were, I have to think.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
But also, Kira, what's even more offensive is that we
got one for Brendan Deyong and we didn't get one
for you, but we did.

Speaker 5 (47:19):
We did think at the time, but then we thought, well,
when are we not going to see you, so we
will get you on when you see me.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Oh we almost got a tattoo in Dallas and we did.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
Yeah, we had like six hours to kill between shows
and we were like, let's just go get you another tattoo.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
And I was like, well, no, I'm not getting one
till you get one.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Tattoos ya, No I have.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
I was this close to getting one when I was
like seventeen in Thailand with like a little Raby's infested
kitten on my shoulder and I eat and I had
drunk like three buckets of spiked liquid, and I was like,
let's get a let's get a tattoo on my foot.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
God, Kira, she's way too posh for that. People don't
get tattoos. Topic.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
I don't have tattoo either, exactly exactly if you would
consider me to be posh, but just put together, I can't.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
Really tell you what is a posh American accent.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
I don't really, I don't know. I don't think I
would even know if you even if.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Like the Hampton you were yeah, like a like a
very very high brow Northeastern person like members that winged
foot in.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
But what does that sound like?

Speaker 1 (48:27):
What does that sound like?

Speaker 5 (48:28):
Give us an example.

Speaker 4 (48:29):
I don't in theater.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
I don't think it sounds like anything. I think it
just sounds like a basic American some of them, some
of them might have a slight New York or like
Jimmy Roberts. Jimmy Roberts sounds like Americanastern American.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Okay, what about that woman off White Lotus of the
newest season, that.

Speaker 6 (48:52):
One from North Carolina? Yeah, no, no, no, okay, copperd No, Yeah,
it's not something.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
Yeah, she's like very there's also a posh.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Okay, there's like a very posh, very southern think think Savannah, Georgia.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
That that tap of southern.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
Oh, come on, come on in, let me get.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
She's not a woman of the night.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
I'll catch you some deviled eggs and some hash brown.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Give me some sugar.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Did you ever watch the Legend of bagra Vance the
golf movie?

Speaker 4 (49:43):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (49:44):
No, Kira, Kira, Kira.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
We've got a question.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
As a question, ask Anna, which has a favorite golf movie?

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Anna, what is your favorite golf movie?

Speaker 4 (49:56):
Well, me and Mel were discussing this over the weekend.
Turns out we have got the same taste in golf films,
and in that meaning, neither of.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Us have ever watched golf films. We've never watched any
of the gold films.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
I've watched Harry Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
You can't even say Harry Gilmore.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Okay, you young lady, Anna have never even watched that,
so you can kiss No.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
But you know what, I actually did watch the first
hour of Happy Gilmore Too last night. I did fall
asleep because it was nine o'clock. It was far too late.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
We don't do nine o'clock anymore. We don't do.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
I haven't watched Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Too just yet. No, but the cameos are often watching
it for the cameos. Yeah, every ten seconds, it's like
M and M.

Speaker 4 (50:42):
It's like Travis Kelcey, it's like all the golfers in
the world. And then it's just like every every famous
person on.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
The planet is essentially in that film.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
I don't think that that it's for the plot. I
think it's for no, not for the cameo life. But
that's okay.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
Not every movie needs to be there for the I's
not worried in the I was about to say, I'm
slightly offended none of us are in the film.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Maybe it would have been better. Maybe then the plot
would have been better.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
Maybe then little bit of drama if myself was in it.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
A lovely person on the planet. I know. It's just
like I am so lovely? Are you kidding me? You
really really do?

Speaker 5 (51:24):
We?

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Donty hear read?

Speaker 4 (51:25):
Come on?

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Okay, Well, I love the Legend of Bagrivans. It's a
great movie.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Will Smith, Charlie Sarn, Matt Damon, It's like a legitimate movie.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
So I would like I'd also really like to watch
tin cups. I've heard there's some real Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
There's some.

Speaker 5 (51:41):
There's some.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
There's some really good ones. High plot.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
It does.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
I feel like it really does discredit me as a
golf journalist, having never watched golf films.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
No, No, you're just so above all of that, Anna,
You're above it is swayed by basic Yeah, yes, yes, that's.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
That is that's that's the puppy right there.

Speaker 5 (52:03):
That's what it is. Yeah, yeah, that is what it is.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
So one of my favorite stories about you that our
lovely boss at the Golf Channel and producer Matt Haggerty
always says about Anna, and he's told me this story
many times. And you know how Matt, he's a bit
he is a bit like that he is, but he's
very passionate about this story. He always talks about how
when you moved up to Stanford from Orlando, it was

(52:30):
just in the heat of COVID. Everything was the whole
world is falling apart. You're bringing the show on the
air in this new building, this new this new environment.
Everyone's losing their shit. Things have hit the fan, Tiger
Woods has just drown off, driven off a cliff.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Okay, And though.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Everyone is absolutely panicking, and he says, and Anna Jackson
sat there with a smile on her face and.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Said, it's okay, guys, we're coming on there.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
And she brought everybody on the air with just this
lovely Anna way that she does, and the show was
clean and everything was great. And she put the whole
crew at ease, put everybody back in the control room
at ease because they knew that Anna was going to
get them from point A to point B. And I
can confirm it because Anna has always put me at
ease with when I started to do hosting, stuff.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
She would always say, just you know what, one segment
at a time, Anna.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Is that the day is? That was that Tiger's car
accident day?

Speaker 5 (53:27):
Yeap, Oh my god, that was.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
I mean, I just tell this very quickly, but we've
all had days like this, Like Kieren, your day like this,
I'm sure would be when you were down at the
PGA and Scottie Scheffler ends up in a prison cell
and you're trying to figure out how the hell to
report this bactist. Guys, was Tiger's accident was my day?
So we had I'd just done two hours of Golf
to Day with the Great Jimmy Roberts, and we had
two hours in between that show and doing Golf Central,

(53:52):
and I was like, Matt came in and he was like,
there's a couple of tweets going around that Tiger's been
in a car accident, but we don't really know anything,
but just you know, stays down your toes. I was like,
oh god, really, it's been a Tiger in a car accident.
So like twenty minutes goes by and it's like, okay, yeah,
no Tiger, Tiger has been in a car accident, but
we know nothing like we don't know if he's alive,

(54:15):
we don't know, we know zero information. Has he collided
with another car? Like how injured is he? But where
is this?

Speaker 1 (54:21):
What is going on?

Speaker 5 (54:23):
And so on.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
Literally Matt, who like leads the team with his heart
and he sometimes gets a little bit ahead himself, he
comes in and he's like, tigers had a crash. People,
We're coming on out five minutes.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
To break the news.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
We're breaking the news. We're getting ahead of this over
any other broadcaster. Anna, get in studio, We're going live
in five I was like, bloody hell, Matt, we literally know.

Speaker 5 (54:47):
Nothing, and I'm so glad you have a real microphone
just for that bit the drama.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
So I'm like running onto the set.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
We have like no support, we have nothing of officially
released all like written, but we have enough sources confirmed
now to like prove that this is this is legit.
So honestly, I get onto the desk and everyone's just
sort of scrambling and going all a bit.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Mad, like obviously no one has any idea what's going on.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
And I have my producer in my ear and they're like, right, Anna,
we're coming on there in twenty seconds. And we're breaking
into School of Golf that's currently just running on Golf Channel.
We're breaking the news that Tiger Woods has been in
a single car accident near his hometown.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Go.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
I was like, sweet, Holy Jesus, here I go.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
I'm hearing it.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
But there was something.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
There was something about that moment. And I think when
when you're doing live TV and it is completely unscripted
and you have no plan in place, you have no
idea whether the show, or the conversation or this.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
News is going to take you.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
All you can do is like settle into your chair,
take a breath, listen to what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
And also, in this situation, try not to speculate. Because
the last time that we had.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
Seen Tiger, he had been in a broadcast booth a
couple of weeks before with puffy eyes, and he really
didn't want The days before, it was a couple of
days before.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
It was just the two days before at the Genesis
he was in the jim Nyands and he's right, didn't
And I only remember that because I was there, So.

Speaker 4 (56:21):
Yeah, no, no, no, you're right, And so that you
can't suggest anything of any variety as the widest thing
that this thing has happened. So yeah, we come on
air and literally five four ad to you in three
two one, good afternoon. We are breaking the news here
on Golf Channel. Anna Jackson with you that eight to

(56:42):
two time PG eights or when a Tiger Woods has
been in a single car. And then himI Diaz was
next to me on the desk. Kimidiaz is a bit
of a flapper at the best of times. But we
love Hymie, we love Heimer, we love Hymie.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
But he does get a little bit nervous on my
g and he knows that and he would admit it.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
You would say the same many Pep talks over the
years about how brilliant I think he is and he
just needs to trust himself because he's been covering off
for fifty years.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
He's been covering off with fifty years. No one knows
it better than her.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
And he doesn't need a Bible of notes every time
he comes on there. But he's an over prepper and
we can all fall into that trap. Yep.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
Anyway, So.

Speaker 4 (57:22):
There, so we're just filling time, and so then I'm
just going off nothing, just purely sat there listening to
my producer, and then we get news that we have
helicopter video footage of CNN, and so then you have
to you know, you're turning to cameon and you can say, right,
can tell you that we've got footed in a helicopter
broadcast by CNN. And then you see Tiger's car and

(57:42):
it is a complete wreck and you're like, oh my god,
like there's a chance, like Tiger has not made his
way out of this.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Like it was to be there on live TV, to
be like learning all of.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
This as the viewer was learning it and just trying
to keep it straightforward and simple and not try to
get caught up. At the moment it was, it was
wild and yeah, I'll never forget that. That was a crazy, crazy,
crazy day. And then give us an hour and a
half and rich Lern has been helicoptered in himself and
he takes over for the next six hours and we
kind of do some stuff on the side of the studio.

(58:14):
But yeah, what a wild day. And that's the thing
about this industry and live TV, and there are just there.
You are very much in a space where anything can
happen at any point, and you've got to you got
to tell the world about it, and it's like it's thrilling,
Like I kind of love days like that. It's just,
you know, it's a real it's a real test of
of what it what this job like at its maximum

(58:38):
level of just trusting yourself and just slowing down.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
And which is the hardest part of the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
Yeah, well, I guess it is. I guess it is.
But it's kind of I don't know, there's something about
my brain that just kind of kicks into gear when
I when you really know the choice get in the zone. Yeah,
flow state. You've got the choice sometimes you know, other.

Speaker 5 (58:59):
Choice just to get into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's like well done.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
And you know, coming down the back nine on Sunday
when you're in contention, now, yeah, you're in your flow state.

Speaker 5 (59:08):
Well thank you. I mean that only happened about three times,
so thank.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
You one time. You flo.

Speaker 5 (59:17):
Very very much.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
But I just I always think about, like if I
get into a bind, or I start to get overly
nervous or over prep or you know, your mind kind
of starts going faster than the words that are coming
out of your mouth, and I always just try to
bring myself back to an ana Jackson calm or car
Banks cars obviously really great at it, to car Banks calm,

(59:41):
Hanny Henny's great at it, a Henny calm, And just
think about how you guys would handle any situation.

Speaker 4 (59:49):
But especially when you're in the field. That's hard though,
because you've got like stuff happening very quickly.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
And yeah, but at the end of the day, I mean,
obviously the life and death situation with Tiger was a
huge thing, but at the end of the for most days,
it's just golf.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
It's just golf.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
And even it might get really dramatic, but it's just
GoF I have to just like Anna Jackson myself, Currak
Dixon here, glad to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Have you with us, and you know, and.

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
And anytime I try to not pose incredibly awkwardly, I
Crak Dickson myself. I'm like, Okay, how does how does
Kira do this without? Like me and you malt we're
quite awkward when it comes to this kind of stuff,
like Kia just you've got you mean, the pictures and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yeah, you know, make a different skill that day.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
That I certainly do not have.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Made Shamelessness.

Speaker 5 (01:00:44):
Is made for that ship, made for it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
I've never seen a bad photo of you try so
hard but so annoying.

Speaker 5 (01:00:54):
I try.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Ten thousand hours of having practice my poses. Okay, yeah,
completely different training for that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:03):
I love it. But I will say just for in
golf in general, to have golf in any young woman's life,
I do think it's just such. It's such a feather
to the boat in any whenever you end up doing
in life as a woman. If you've got golf in
your back pocket, if you can just go out, and
even if you you know, if you're a twenty twenty
wife handicapper, who cares, it's such a super power. Yea,

(01:01:28):
And yeah, I think it brings so much to our lives. Obviously,
we're all connected to the game.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
And okay, we're all here because of a silly sport.
It's just a silly little sport.

Speaker 5 (01:01:39):
Sport.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
It's a little sport.

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
Yeah, yeah, all the girls out there, pick up a club.

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
Mate.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Okay, eight hundred because today, Edna, do you have a
shush of the week for it?

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
Oh my goodness, yeah, i'd shush the message that women
can have it all.

Speaker 6 (01:02:00):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
Great for the podcast, thank you, no, no, no, listen, listen.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Women can have it all. But they can't have it
all at the same time. Okay, now this is my theory.

Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
You know, you can have the career and you can
have the family, and you can have the friends, and
you can have the kids, but you can't have it
all at the same time. So if you're having like
a great stretch in your career, it probably means you
haven't seen a kids Like I had an amazing June
out on the road with Golf Channel, saw the kids
for six days in June. But then if I have
a month with the kids, then it probably means I've

(01:02:33):
done absolutely nothing in the golf world for that month.
So you know, you can, women can, they can, they
can dabble.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
But women can't have it one.

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
We're just not designed. We're just not designed to, you know,
be away from our kids and have this huge career.

Speaker 5 (01:02:48):
Michelle Obarma says that did she Yeah, you can't have
it all at the same time.

have it all.

Instagram that tell you that you only have eighteen summers

them every day for the first five years, then you'll
never get You're going to be mourning your child because

in my DMS that sends me so many messages just
like constant respond to everything I do blah blah blah,
and the other day can me out him.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):

But the other.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
And usually everything I never respond obviously, and everything that
he says is generally like pretty nice or like asking
me to meet him at random golf courses or whatever.
But the other day, I know, g Hay posted this
uh swing video of me where she was helping me
work through some stuff with sports Box, just on what
I'm working on in my golf swing, and he responded

(01:04:47):

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
X y Z about your golf swing sucks about that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
He definitely is a real person.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
Definitely is a real person. Just like got really angry
in the DM he thinks I don't read them.

Speaker 5 (01:05:08):
Great use of the adjectives slagging, yeah, very proudly.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Well do you have a shirt?

Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
I do?

Speaker 5 (01:05:19):
So my shish of the week is I really like
bad things to stop happening to me when I'm working
with Anna Jackson.

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
So for an example, for example, but bad things that
you secretly laugh.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
So, first of all missed my flight. I was working
with Nanna Jackson.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
I didn't I didn't miss my flight. Did you have
the one where you guys had three bottles of rose?

Speaker 5 (01:05:39):
Yeah? Four?

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Yes, that maybe you should take a little bit of
a canability there, but okay, continue. No.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
I was working with you when I had to reverse
the car back of the car park.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
I was working with you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
When I fell down Mount Everest.

Speaker 5 (01:05:52):
I also was working with you when I was still
playing and you were like, oh, they it wouldn't be
really funny if you went to your next event short
you too.

Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
I had to build you the last to shoot ay one,
and so all these things have happened to me.

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
Oh, I started my period this week to have any tampons,
so I had to run to Target in the morning
before I went on.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
I would like to point out that I directly, I
am not connected to actually any of these single events happening.
I happen to be like in your aura vicinity at
the time, but I'm not actually making any of these
things happen to you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Like maybe your cycle is trying to sync up with
That's why your period came.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
You weren't expecting, right, I'm.

Speaker 5 (01:06:29):
The alpha Alpha on the Alpha, this shouldn't be happening.
And now I'm just on track with any woman that's
around me, so I'm obviously what's it called surrendering anyway,
but yes.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
And we'll work on that. You've also had plenty of
great times with the.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
And then it all the bad stuff always ends up
as far for the podcast, so it always.

Speaker 5 (01:06:53):
Yeah, and it is funny, and it just happens to
be with me. It's always me, it's never Anna. So
love you mate. That was awesome. Thank you so much.
You're one of my favorites and I've really enjoyed I've
obviously known you for years, but we said this didn't
me last week? I said, It's just been really cool
getting to know you properly. And you're definitely in my
circle as one of my busies. So awesome to it with.

(01:07:15):
And thanks for making me comfortable on set when I
know nothing about broadcasting. I am dyslexic and I can't
read very well, so thank you for making me comfortable.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Other than that, she's the voice of the future. She
is she is, and I just have to say Anna too.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
When I first started hosting, Anna came in on her
day off. She came into the studio and she she
well first of all, did before that. She let me
shadow her, and then on her day off she came
into the studio. She helped me figure out how to
use the software the computer. She was in the studio
just standing in the background when I hosted a show
live for the very first time, just to be there

(01:07:50):
to support me and to help answer questions in between
in breaks, and she made me feel so comfortable. And
that's a situation where a lot of people would think like, oh,
you know, a new girl coming into hosts, like this
could be competition or you guys shouldn't get along. And
Anna just went above and beyond to make me feel
so comfortable in that situation. And Anna, you're just you're
always like that, and you're so authentically yourself, and you're

(01:08:12):
like the fact that you're so vulnerable today too about
you know, life is really hard sometimes and you're dealing
with it all with so much grace.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
So I'm super inspired by you. And I know we
all we all joke around, but I just love.

Speaker 5 (01:08:23):
You so much.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
Look at this, sister, this is it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):

very very much. So I'm so glad that we've well
been able to hang out in softnoon and got the
kids out of the house and just have one app
