In episode 2 of the It's A Lot Y'all Podcast, Ali Dee and Producer Nicole discuss one of the most epic moments in NBA History when Luka Doncic breaks an incredible record and Ali captures an unexpected viral moment of Luka pre-game. Of course, more in-game hilarity ensues when Ali almost faints walking up the arena stairs thanks to her pleather pants, but Nicole on the other hand absolutely hates to be cold, and she relives her time working up north for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Hello everybody.
Welcome to episode two of the,it's a Lot y'all podcast.
I'm Allie d, the host, and withme as always, the brains of the
(00:24):
operation.
It's producer Nicole.
Hi everyone.
All right.
Just a quick recap on how Nicoleand I know each other.
So we work together in thesports industry, specifically in
live sports production, and wework together for both the
Dallas Cowboys and the DallasMavericks.
So two professional sportsteams.
I'm in front of the camera,she's my stage manager.
(00:46):
so we have a lot of shenanigansthat go on behind the scenes and
we just thought it'd be reallycool for y'all to get a little
glimpse into what life is likeworking for a pro sports team
and some of the things that youmay or may not see or realize
that are going on.
Plus we'll have lots ofunfiltered, fun, real talk
conversation when things comeup.
Like the um, Megan Markle andPrince Harry Netflix thing.
(01:08):
Oh, we need to talk about that.
That is for another show.
But yes, I got a lot to sayabout that.
So anyways, besides all that, itwas a huge week for the DFW
sports fans, sports area, theCowboys, the Mavs both.
You tweet, you're killing it.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
We've worked three games in thepast four days.
it's a lot y.
It is.
(01:28):
we have been working, uh, somany games just over and over
and over.
We had Christmas Eve, we hadChristmas Day and then, but the
exciting thing is it wasmomentous big games, huge wins.
of course the Cowboys beatingthe Eagles, the mass, they're on
four game winning streak.
Yeah, a lot going on.
Yes.
Let's just talk really quickabout Christmas Eve, the win for
(01:51):
the Cowboys.
How big of a win that was.
We're one of two teams that havebeat the Eagles this season, so
that was a huge win for us justgoing into post-season.
Yeah, that was amazing.
So proud of the boys.
Love Cowboys Nation.
What's up?
If you all are listening, welove you and thank you for
watching our show on the EastPlaza at at and t Stadium.
We'll go into more of thatlater.
(02:11):
let's also touch on the reasonwhy I couldn't sleep last night
was because Mr.
Luca Donk and his, oh,Unbelievable night.
I gotta put the pen down forthis one because this kept me up
all night.
I can't believe as a sports fan,as actually as anybody with a
heartbeat.
(02:32):
have to appreciate what Luca didin that game last night, making
history unbelievable.
Yeah, the 60 21 and 10 tripledouble, the first time to be
done literally in N B A history.
76 years, the league has beengoing at it, and there has been
no one to do anything like that.
(02:52):
And the fact that Luca came inthere and did it in such a
crazy, amazing fashion the waythings unfolded in the fourth
quarter, by the way, I knew thiswas gonna be a really good night
for Luca.
Let me just set up what happenedduring pre-game warmups.
This was so cool.
So I am never really out readyin time, honestly, let's be
honest.
I'm kind of, you know, like thebuzzer hits and then I'm ready.
(03:15):
All of a sudden, anthem's goingon.
So I'm a late bird when it comesto being ready before the game.
but I actually was ready alittle bit ahead of time, so I
went out to watch pre-gamewarmups and I thought, oh, I'm
just gonna shoot a little.
It on our podcast stories shoota little of the different
players.
Anyways, I captured what Ithought was a once in a lifetime
moment.
I witnessed an amazing trickshot from Luca and Dwight
(03:39):
Powell.
Okay.
So I've got my phone out.
I'm standing, uh, courtsidehere.
I'm videoing trying to seewhat's going on, and I first
thought I might get somethinggood because Luca went to, to
like warm up and doing histhing.
Mm-hmm.
and he threw the ball.
A hundred feet into the air tosee if he could make it.
So I already knew.
He was kind of like sometimes inthis mode where he has these fun
trick shots that he tries.
(03:59):
Anyways, that one didn't go in.
I was like, you know what, he'sgonna try something else.
Mm-hmm.
Cause he didn't, that didn't goin.
I just had a feeling.
Lemme pick the camera out.
lemme get the camera out cuz Iknow he's gonna go for something
else.
Cuz if, you know, if you'recompetitive and you're out there
on the court and you don't makeyour trick shot, you're gonna
try something else, right?
Mm-hmm.
So anyways, here we.
Got the camera out and I'mvideoing, and then all of a
sudden I see Luca and Dwight andthey kind of give each other a
(04:21):
look, and I'm like, here we go.
What's gonna happen?
Luka?
So anyways, Luca passes the ballto Dwight.
Dwight, then he passes it backto Luca.
But you guys, Luca doesn't catchthe ball.
Oh no.
He heads the ball soccer styleup towards the basket and here
comes Dwight Powell with thealley oop dunk off of Luca's
(04:42):
headed ball into the basket.
I would see.
I was so excited and I caught itoff on film and you could hear
me like at the end of the shotgo, no.
And I'm like laughinghysterically cuz I can't believe
this happened.
So anyways, here I am thinkingI've got the viral moment of the
night right.
I am so excited.
I'm like telling everybody, ohmy gosh, I got this awesome
trick shot of Luca, you know,pregame.
(05:03):
This is gonna go crazy.
It's gonna go viral.
I'm posting it.
Well, Next thing you know, Lucajust goes ahead and breaks the
record of the, you know, 60 21and 10 and my little trick shot
video talk about beingovershadowed.
I was like, I, it didn't getenough credit, but first all
quit.
I can't believe number one, yougot that on film and number two,
like you knew it was gonna be agood game after seeing that,
(05:26):
you're like, this is gonna be agreat game.
And look what ended uphappening.
Yeah, I knew it was gonna be aspecial night.
So, um, shout out to Luca if youhappen to see my post.
If you wouldn't mind justreposting it.
Tagging it's a lot.
Y'all podcast We would beforever grateful.
And that's why we love sports.
That's why we're in this job.
you could show up thinking it'sgonna be an everyday average
game.
And you get there and just theseathletes, these players dig deep
(05:48):
and they find ways to makethings happen.
And I mean, that's why they getpaid the big bucks.
They make miracles happen.
It really was.
It was just, you know,unbelievable.
And that final shot he had atthe end, And just the fans and
his little dance, his little he,I'm doing his little dance right
now, but it was so cute.
He was just, I mean, what's sogreat about Luca just getting to
(06:10):
watch him day in and day out isthat he truly loves basketball.
He does at the end of the day.
He's just such a fan of thesport that he plays.
I think he sometimes surpriseshimself in when he makes these
huge shots and has these greatmomentous, things that happen to
him at the game, And in fact, Iwatched his post-game interview
and it was really interesting tome because Luca said, you know,
(06:32):
it was luck.
He made the shot, right?
Cause it was luck.
And I'm like, Luca, hold onbrother, let me back it up.
That is not luck.
Luck is like, okay, you're inLos.
Vegas, it's two in the morning.
You're having your last LongIsland Iced Tea of the Night.
Gosh, we've all been there.
I'm like, is that college?
(06:52):
I anyone, if you're having yourlast Long Island iced tea of the
night, you're at the, you know,penny slots and you know it's
smokey in there and you pull thelittle lever and you hit the
jackpot.
I mean Right.
There's no skill involved inthat.
That's luck Now with Luca, thiswas like a lifetime of
preparation and opportunity.
They meet and he has thisincredible moment and that is,
(07:15):
that's what success is.
It's just those two things.
Meet all that preparation he'sdone throughout his entire
career.
He's so smart.
absolutely.
Amazing.
So props, DeLuca again, it wasnot luck.
It's your skill.
I'm sure he's so humble.
He always just says it was agreat team win.
Yeah.
And you know everything.
You know what else I love abouthim though?
Is he embraces Texas.
(07:36):
he is full on like I'm a Texan.
Like can we talk about hisoutfit phone Christmas Eve.
I know.
How about when he shows up inthe full Western regalia, which,
you know, I.
Yeah.
Cause that's my thing, And so Isaw the picture and I
immediately sent it to myhusband.
Cause I was like, yes, this guyis so awesome because he had the
cowboy lovely hat on.
He had the little bolo talk.
(07:56):
Aw.
Black.
Yes.
Yep.
And, and he pulled up in somereally awesome classic car,
which I don't know exactly whatit was.
There was.
Dispute in the media dining asto what kind of car it was.
I'm not sure if we figured thatout.
Um, some people were like, oh,it's a GT O Oh, it's a Mustang.
Oh, it's, they were all, youknow, chattering.
And I was just look looking,hoping someone would figure it
out.
But anyways, overall, that wholething, just a crazy, amazing
(08:16):
night.
So I feel like he channeled thespirit of Texas, brought it to
that game, brought home thisincredible legendary moment.
like the MAB said, the shotheard around the world,
everybody.
Mm-hmm.
tweeting about it today.
Athletes from all over.
Luca, great job.
Round of applause from the It'sa lot y'all podcast Amazing.
not only did Luca have a great,amazing busy night, we had a
(08:39):
really busy night as well.
Busy night.
Yes.
Yeah.
We were all over the place onthe court, on the drum line up
top.
It was a crazy night.
Yeah.
And I decided to wear these, um,Pleather pants.
They weren't even real leather.
They were pleather.
They looked super cute though.
They were pretty cute.
But let me just tell you, theywere hot.
(08:59):
They were hot and they werenoisy.
What kinda hot are we talkingabout?
I mean, I was just like, youknow, wearing these pants, there
was just a lot.
And you taking me up theescalator all the way up there
and I, I thought, I was like, amI just gonna pass out of he?
And I couldn't figure out whatwas going on, but we've narrowed
it down.
I'm fanning her up theescalator.
(09:20):
We figured out that it was apants issue because they were
that pleather.
So it keeps you really warm,even though it's freezing
outside.
The arena's pretty, I mean, onceyou fill that place up, which it
was packed, it gets kind of hot.
So I made Allie walk the stairs.
Take the escalator.
But we made it.
We didn't miss our time out.
You did great by the way,another crazy thing was I was
(09:42):
like, we gotta to take theelevator, you know?
Oh gosh.
We, gosh, here we go.
We cannot be, yeah.
We cannot be going up the stairsall the way up to where we need
to be for this time out.
We need to take the elevator.
And you were like, it's animmediate No.
Allie knows, like, I just giveher this look like, yeah, that's
not gonna happen.
I know.
And I just, I'm like, okay.
She's the boss.
At the end of the day, it'slike, you know, she, you're not
gonna take the fall for adecision that I make And you
(10:04):
cannot risk taking the elevatorbecause you don't know how, when
that thing's gonna arrive, howlong it's gonna take to get up
to the mid level of the arena.
That's just such a big risk.
And with basketball, you neverknow when the time out's gonna
happen.
I mean, it can happen.
Second.
So I, that's the thing.
Glad yeah.
I'm glad I made Allie take thestairs.
We got our steps in, we took theescalator so we didn't have to
(10:26):
walk up steps there.
It all worked out.
We were there for the timeout.
So kudos.
Yeah, we talk about one time onthis podcast, not today cuz we
had so much to, to.
Cover.
but my reoccurring nightmare ofnot making it to my time out on
time because I, I do have thisreoccurring nightmare and it's
exactly the same and it happensevery year.
So we'll get to that.
Put it on, put it on the noteslist.
Put it on the notes.
Put it on the notes.
(10:47):
Ok.
You, I mean, and that doeshappen though.
That does happen in liveproduction, which we can talk
about this on another day too.
But when that does happen, wecan move things around where you
as the audience would never knowthat we missed our time out.
Right.
Yeah.
But, but we don't do that on thereg.
Yeah, I was gonna, For therecord.
I have never missed a time out.
There you go like that on therecord.
Speaking of, uh, doing things ontime and being, you know, where
(11:10):
you need to be, this is reallyfunny because we have a, we have
a, a battle going on.
I would like to say, We're gonnatalk about the Q battle because
this is so funny to me andy'all, I'm gonna try to describe
what goes on.
So basically when it's a time, Ihead onto the court to wherever
my location is, wherever theshot's gonna be.
(11:30):
so it's me.
And then in front of me isobviously the cameraman, and
then next to the cameraman isNicole.
Okay.
So it's Nicole's job.
She's listening on her trusteeheadset and, Carla or whoever's
inside, telling her when it'stime for me to start talking
because there's a delay in thearena.
Mm-hmm.
there's a lot going on.
They always have other thingsthey have to do.
(11:51):
Sometimes they're coming fromsomewhere else to me.
So Nicole.
You know, main thing is to cueme and let me know that it's
time to speak.
Okay.
So what's really funny is wehave kind of a newer camera guy
and I love him.
But you know what's interestingis he is queuing me as well.
And so what I'm looking at infront of me, okay, like this is
(12:12):
Nicole will have her hand up,which she more like this.
Very relaxed.
Very relaxed.
It's a very relaxed hand, whichmeans, you know Allie like
starting stand by your headstraight.
Yes.
Cause we're about to go to you.
So I have to stop thinking aboutbutterflies and candy canes and
start thinking about what I'mabout to say, which sometimes I
get out there and I'm like, Oh,look who's over there, Uh, so
she keeps me focused, but thento this side of me, the
(12:32):
cameraman pops up his hand andhis hand is straight and it
means business.
So I've got Nicole on one sideand I've got this going on, and
Nicole sees out of the corner ofher eye that the cameraman is
trying to steal her thunder andcue me, and she's not gonna let
that happen.
So all of a sudden, a relaxedhand, you know, it's now a stiff
hand.
Starts to firm up Yeah.
(12:54):
It starts to firm up.
So we've got the battle going onand.
inside laughing because I knowthat Nicole is in, is just like,
you know, she's just going,what's going on here?
This is, this is my thing.
What's going on?
So anyways, right, they both endup queuing me at the same time.
So it was fine, but then anothergame, it happened again.
I'm looking at them.
So then when it happens, thesecond time, Nicole and I have
(13:14):
already talked about the QBattle, right?
And how she feels like she won,even though really it was a tie.
I'm not gonna let her know thatshe feels like she won the Q
battle.
So when it happened again, andI'm in front of the camera, and
I'm literally about to have tosay a million things and not
mess it up in front of all thepeople in the arena, and all I
can do is start laughing insidebecause I'm witnessing Nicole's
face just immediately.
Because she's having another Qbattle.
(13:35):
So anyways, it's just reallyfunny sometimes, and I'm dying
laughing inside too.
I'm like, he is not gonna stealmy thunder.
And I'm more of like, Allie, youlook at me because I am getting
direct feed from the producer Soeven if he cues you, you follow
my cue.
So yeah, it's crazy.
so funny.
But I always win.
I always.
Yeah, well, I at least let youthink you win Cause we would, we
(13:57):
would not want to know whathappens if you do not win the Q
Battle.
but, you know, we also have alot of stuff that goes on at the
Dallas Cowboys game and, um, wehad a, a great game.
we host the pre-game show on theeast side of at and t Stadium,
so there's a huge crew overthere.
Nicole and I are just a part ofa large team that makes this all
(14:17):
happen.
Mm-hmm.
but.
It's really funny because, youknow, sometimes Nicole is very
kind and she's like, oh, youlook great in this outfit.
Let me get a photo of you so youcan post it on your social
media.
And I'm like, wow, this girl isjust so nice.
Like, really you guys, Nicole isthe nicest person in the world.
She just wants the best foreverybody.
She wants the show to beperfect.
(14:38):
Oh, she's so dedicated.
Seriously.
Um, but it.
It's really funny because, soshe had taken a few photos of me
and then I looked at them and Irealized, oh, they were a little
bit blurry.
Now Let me first preface this bysaying that it was cold outside.
Freezing Nicole.
Freezing Nicole is the one forthe cold.
We can get into more of thatlater.
She had on, a pair of gloves,like some fluffy gloves that
(15:00):
were kind of like, Smooth on theback.
Mm-hmm.
So she, you can text in them,right?
Yes.
Can text in'em.
Okay.
So super cool.
Anyway, so she takes thepictures, I'm gonna use my
phone, and she's like, bam, bam,bam.
And then I'm looking at'em and Iwas like, you know what?
They're a little bit blurry.
I think my lens needs, you know,a little bit cleaning.
And so there was this momentwhere the world stopped because
I'm looking at Nicole and I havemy phone and I'm thinking to her
(15:23):
I'm basically thinking I'm gonnahave her use her glove to clean
the lens of my camera, becauseit's like the perfect soft
material to get it nice andclean.
But then I have this briefmoment where I'm like, Hmm, I
don't know if I want her glovestouching my lens of my camera,
because they've been touchingeverything and who the heck
knows where?
I mean, you know, it's hergloves.
I'm like, ah.
(15:43):
But at the same time, you guys,Nicole has this brief moment
where she pauses and she's.
Wait a second.
I'm looking at her and I'm like,he's looking.
I know she's not thinking thatI'm supposed to wipe off her
camera with my glove You guys.
So what the funny part of thisis that Nicole is thinking the
(16:04):
same thing that I am.
We're both like, Ew.
She's not gonna use her glove toclean my camera.
And she's thinking, Ew, I'm notgonna use my glove to clean this
girl's nasty phone, which hasbeen all over at and t Stadium.
So the question is, to this day,we still don't know who was
right in this situation.
So I think we need to pull theaudience.
So we need to ask you guys.
(16:24):
You need to tell us.
Do you think.
I'm right in the situation.
Meaning that I should have beenlike concerned about her using
her quote unquote nasty glovesto clean my lens.
Or is she right thinking I'm notgonna use my nice gloves to
clean her nasty, nasty lensYeah.
but there was a moment.
Yeah, it was just hilarious cuzit was a moment where we both
(16:46):
just stopped and looked at eachother and it was like, are you
thinking what I'm thinking?
Or like, are you expecting me toclean your lens and vice versa?
It was hilarious.
Oh my goodness.
I know.
It was so funny.
But you know what?
At the end of the day, I took mygloves and I cleaned your lens I
know you did, but then what didyou do?
What you told me what you didafterwards?
So I went home and I stuck themstraight in the washer So now
(17:10):
next time, we at least know thegloves are clean and I can
easily wash'em.
So a win-win.
Win win.
What a funny, what a funny day.
And by the way, it was like socold, that game that you had
really bundled up.
You brought out all the stopsyou had your parka on.
Let's talk a little bit aboutwhere you were before you were
with the Dallas Cowboys and theMavs.
(17:31):
Tell us about you being inCleveland and who you worked for
and all that jazz.
Yes.
So previously before moving toDallas, I was up north in
Cleveland, Ohio.
So if you're familiar withCleveland, it's right there on
one of the Great Lakes and itgets cold.
I used to walk back and forth towork to the arena.
I used to work for the ClevelandCavers at the time, so I lived
(17:52):
downtown, really close to thearena and would constantly walk
outside.
It's just, a different kind ofcold up there with no sunshine.
So when I get that feeling oflike, Coldness and the wind's
blowing just takes me back.
my gosh.
But I, first of all, I didn'tknow you lived downtown, so what
was that like?
Does Cleveland have like anightlife?
Like what, because you're,you're very, um, you guys,
(18:16):
Nicole is extremely, I justwanna say hip, like you go to
all the cool.
Yeah, you go to the cool spotsyou have really like,
aesthetically pleasing Instagramstories.
Like they're always very moodyand like, you're just always
having a fabulous drink withlike a delicious dessert.
And I don't know, you're just solike, just duh.
(18:36):
You know, you're just, you thinkit out there.
Yeah.
Mean I'm over here, you know,just slumming it at my house.
I got the scrunchy on my hand.
I mean, I'm just still stuck inthe nineties.
I don't know.
But anyways.
Tell me about the Clevelandnightlife.
Downtown Cleveland.
I will say, you know, it's got alittle bit going on.
You know, it's, it's not yourtypical like big city vibes.
(18:57):
It's more of like a smaller,downtown.
It's more like a restaurantscene, not too clubby.
They might have a couple clubs,but I never really like went out
and did the nightlife thingthere.
Um, right.
But it's cool.
It's just really cold.
Nine months and compared toDallas.
Like when you got to Dallas, wasthe nightlife like instantly a
lot better or is it kind of thesame vibe, or what's the
(19:17):
comparison there?
A lot better, but Dallas is sucha big market.
Like Dallas has all the newrestaurants, and you never have
to go to the same place twice,if that makes sense.
There's always a new thingpopping up and a new place to
try.
So a lot bigger, but I mean, Canwe blame it?
Everything's bigger in Texas,right?
I know.
Well, I mean, I wanna say roundapplause for you.
(19:38):
That's great.
You get to try a new place everyday.
Because where I live, it'seither you're going to the gas
station to eat, um, we have onerestaurant in town and, uh, oh,
we just got actually another newone, A barbecue place.
But otherwise I'm having todrive, move them up.
Yeah, I'm having to drive andI'm meeting Chick-fil-A every
day because you know, it's themost gourmet you got out here.
Yeah, you can't go wrong withChick-fil-A.
You can't go wrong withChick-fil-A.
(19:58):
I'm 90 miles from Dallas,everybody.
that's the commute I'm makingevery single time we have a
game, whether it's Cowboys orMavs, which I like because, you
know, I get time to talk on thephone, listen to podcasts, catch
up with friends.
I have two kids, so that's kindof my quiet time.
So I do really love it.
yeah, it's, you get tired of theChick-fil-A every day.
I will say.
It's, it's okay.
It's great.
So, back to the how cold thisgame was.
(20:20):
Oh, yes.
Oh my goodness.
Guys, I know when I tell you, wegotta speak about your little
heater, but we bring like theheat warmers for your hands and
your feet.
And guys, I just do not do wellin the colds and.
Overall, I feel like I'm a, apretty like, happy person, but
something about that coldweather just makes me like not
(20:43):
happy.
I know.
I was shocked actually.
I have never seen Nicole be in abad mood, like how she is, how
you see her.
She's nice and happy and kindand sweet, and she was like, Mm.
Like something came over youthat day and I was like, what is
going on, Nicole?
And then finally you're justlike, I don't like the cold.
So she had this like major parkaon with like the furl around it.
(21:03):
You had the sunglasses, we hadthe, I looks like I was in
Alaska, literally, right?
It was cold.
I mean the whole nine, you didhave your snow boots on and then
you got really mad that you, youcouldn't get'em on and off cause
you wanted to.
Anyway, so I brought for myoffice, I brought a space
heater.
Cause I was like, just in casethere's no heater, which there
ended up being no heater.
(21:24):
I was like, well at least havethis little one.
Right?
So we did, we plugged greatidea, right?
Like, oh, Alex got a spaceheater.
We're gonna be fine.
Yeah.
Okay.
The space heater, when I tellyou it was trying to heat
negative degree temperature, itwas not doing its job.
It was just in there, in thatlittle tent, just trying its
little best little heater thatjust tiny little heater.
You know, it was like a 12 by 12inch heater.
(21:46):
And, it actually ended up dyingand we had to unplug it and, you
know, do a little prayer overit.
And it did come back to life,Um, that actually it ended up
working really well because youdid, my feet were freezing.
That was the main thing for me.
And so I took off my cowboyboots and I just stuck my toes
basically into the heater, gotthem warmed up again, and then I
was fine.
I was good to go.
And you were basically having alittle meltdown in there cuz you
(22:08):
were, I was like, just get yoursnow boots off.
Get your feet warm.
It's gonna change.
You're like, you're like, No,I'm not taking off my boots and,
you know, it was so hard to getthese on inside.
It's so, I mean, does anybodyget aggravated with that?
Like you're, you have, okay.
I've already like doubled up mylayer of socks, right?
I have like more socks onthermals underneath, and it
takes me like 10 minutes to puteach boot on So I know the fact
(22:30):
that it was like, should I takemy boot off just to try to warm
my feet up?
No shot.
No.
Um, you know what was coolthough when we were at Cowboys
that day is, a lot of like thehigher ups in the organization
came out to check on us.
I love that.
They're so, so nice.
I know the people that are, youknow, extremely busy normally
during the game and are, youknow, way up high in the
(22:52):
stadium, making sure everythinghappens.
They came all the way out to theEast Plaza to check on us.
They brought us snacks.
They made sure we had hot cocoacoffee.
We're warm.
As warm as can be.
So shout out to the Cowboysorganization.
Yes.
Cause they're always takingcare.
And, y'all are the best.
So thank you so much for that.
But after that game, I will sayI made an immediate beeline to c
v s to get a, a mask, aNeutrogena mask.
(23:12):
Mm-hmm.
this is not an ad, but I haverecently discovered they have
these like dehydrating masks.
So the wind again was like ahundred miles an hour.
Um, and so I felt like.
My face had kind of just likepeeled off from the wind
throughout the day.
We're really making this soundlike a pleasant thing to be.
We do love our jobs but it's arough out there.
It was really cold that day andthe wind was like, I think you
(23:33):
can get wind burn.
I think that's a thing.
I think I had that.
So on my way home I was like, Ineed to figure this, figure out
what's going on.
So anyways, um, Ulta was closed.
So I ended up going to CVS and Ifound this Neutrogena mask.
You guys, if you're listeningout there and you, this is like
my first time using masks.
I'm normally not that.
I just, I, I just have nevergotten into that.
(23:53):
But I've been hearing about it.
It comes in a blue package andit's, it's very messy and I
don't know if it's the best, butdoes it help?
Yes, absolutely.
So I was really excited cuz Iended up stopping at CVS instead
of Ulta just to see if they hadit.
And I was shocked because notonly did they have the mask that
I love, but it was.
50 cents cheaper.
And so I was just having alittle party over there with a
CVS lady cuz she's like, I don'tthink we have it.
(24:15):
And then we found it and we wereso excited cause it was cheaper
and so cheap.
Oh wow.
Oh my.
I know.
Shout out to cvs.
Shout out to cvs, for making ithappen that day and bringing my
face back to life because it, itjust, it took a beating that day
out there in that weather.
And did you put it on the firstthing in the car?
I'm still not exactly sure I'mdoing it right because if you
(24:37):
guys know the mask I'm talkingabout, it is extremely messy.
So you open it up and it's justlike spilling all over the
place, and I don't know if I'mdoing something wrong, so I'm
just trying to slather it ontomy face, you know, which side.
It's like one side has the stuffon it, one side doesn't.
So I'm just hoping I have theright side of the mask onto my
face and it's just like drippingeverywhere.
So I don't, I don't really know.
All I know.
(24:57):
It does make it, my skin feelbetter and at the end of the day
it's worth it.
But I'm gonna have to try thisout.
Yeah, we need to try it out.
I know.
Cause I'm all about facials andYeah, I know.
Hold on, we'll put it on ourstories and you'll let, we'll
let everybody know what themask.

difficulties, but we have sincetackled them and are back in
action.
Enjoy the show.
Hello everybody.
Welcome to episode two of the,it's a Lot y'all podcast.
I'm Allie d, the host, and withme as always, the brains of the
(00:24):
operation.
It's producer Nicole.
Hi everyone.
All right.
Just a quick recap on how Nicoleand I know each other.
So we work together in thesports industry, specifically in
live sports production, and wework together for both the
Dallas Cowboys and the DallasMavericks.
So two professional sportsteams.
I'm in front of the camera,she's my stage manager.
(00:46):
so we have a lot of shenanigansthat go on behind the scenes and
we just thought it'd be reallycool for y'all to get a little
glimpse into what life is likeworking for a pro sports team
and some of the things that youmay or may not see or realize
that are going on.
Plus we'll have lots ofunfiltered, fun, real talk
conversation when things comeup.
Like the um, Megan Markle andPrince Harry Netflix thing.
(01:08):
Oh, we need to talk about that.
That is for another show.
But yes, I got a lot to sayabout that.
So anyways, besides all that, itwas a huge week for the DFW
sports fans, sports area, theCowboys, the Mavs both.
You tweet, you're killing it.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
We've worked three games in thepast four days.
it's a lot y.
It is.
(01:28):
we have been working, uh, somany games just over and over
and over.
We had Christmas Eve, we hadChristmas Day and then, but the
exciting thing is it wasmomentous big games, huge wins.
of course the Cowboys beatingthe Eagles, the mass, they're on
four game winning streak.
Yeah, a lot going on.
Yes.
Let's just talk really quickabout Christmas Eve, the win for
(01:51):
the Cowboys.
How big of a win that was.
We're one of two teams that havebeat the Eagles this season, so
that was a huge win for us justgoing into post-season.
Yeah, that was amazing.
So proud of the boys.
Love Cowboys Nation.
What's up?
If you all are listening, welove you and thank you for
watching our show on the EastPlaza at at and t Stadium.
We'll go into more of thatlater.
(02:11):
let's also touch on the reasonwhy I couldn't sleep last night
was because Mr.
Luca Donk and his, oh,Unbelievable night.
I gotta put the pen down forthis one because this kept me up
all night.
I can't believe as a sports fan,as actually as anybody with a
heartbeat.
(02:32):
have to appreciate what Luca didin that game last night, making
history unbelievable.
Yeah, the 60 21 and 10 tripledouble, the first time to be
done literally in N B A history.
76 years, the league has beengoing at it, and there has been
no one to do anything like that.
(02:52):
And the fact that Luca came inthere and did it in such a
crazy, amazing fashion the waythings unfolded in the fourth
quarter, by the way, I knew thiswas gonna be a really good night
for Luca.
Let me just set up what happenedduring pre-game warmups.
This was so cool.
So I am never really out readyin time, honestly, let's be
honest.
I'm kind of, you know, like thebuzzer hits and then I'm ready.
(03:15):
All of a sudden, anthem's goingon.
So I'm a late bird when it comesto being ready before the game.
but I actually was ready alittle bit ahead of time, so I
went out to watch pre-gamewarmups and I thought, oh, I'm
just gonna shoot a little.
It on our podcast stories shoota little of the different
players.
Anyways, I captured what Ithought was a once in a lifetime
moment.
I witnessed an amazing trickshot from Luca and Dwight
(03:39):
Powell.
Okay.
So I've got my phone out.
I'm standing, uh, courtsidehere.
I'm videoing trying to seewhat's going on, and I first
thought I might get somethinggood because Luca went to, to
like warm up and doing histhing.
Mm-hmm.
and he threw the ball.
A hundred feet into the air tosee if he could make it.
So I already knew.
He was kind of like sometimes inthis mode where he has these fun
trick shots that he tries.
(03:59):
Anyways, that one didn't go in.
I was like, you know what, he'sgonna try something else.
Mm-hmm.
Cause he didn't, that didn't goin.
I just had a feeling.
Lemme pick the camera out.
lemme get the camera out cuz Iknow he's gonna go for something
else.
Cuz if, you know, if you'recompetitive and you're out there
on the court and you don't makeyour trick shot, you're gonna
try something else, right?
Mm-hmm.
So anyways, here we.
Got the camera out and I'mvideoing, and then all of a
sudden I see Luca and Dwight andthey kind of give each other a
(04:21):
look, and I'm like, here we go.
What's gonna happen?
Luka?
So anyways, Luca passes the ballto Dwight.
Dwight, then he passes it backto Luca.
But you guys, Luca doesn't catchthe ball.
Oh no.
He heads the ball soccer styleup towards the basket and here
comes Dwight Powell with thealley oop dunk off of Luca's
(04:42):
headed ball into the basket.
I would see.
I was so excited and I caught itoff on film and you could hear
me like at the end of the shotgo, no.
And I'm like laughinghysterically cuz I can't believe
this happened.
So anyways, here I am thinkingI've got the viral moment of the
night right.
I am so excited.
I'm like telling everybody, ohmy gosh, I got this awesome
trick shot of Luca, you know,pregame.
(05:03):
This is gonna go crazy.
It's gonna go viral.
I'm posting it.
Well, Next thing you know, Lucajust goes ahead and breaks the
record of the, you know, 60 21and 10 and my little trick shot
video talk about beingovershadowed.
I was like, I, it didn't getenough credit, but first all
quit.
I can't believe number one, yougot that on film and number two,
like you knew it was gonna be agood game after seeing that,
(05:26):
you're like, this is gonna be agreat game.
And look what ended uphappening.
Yeah, I knew it was gonna be aspecial night.
So, um, shout out to Luca if youhappen to see my post.
If you wouldn't mind justreposting it.
Tagging it's a lot.
Y'all podcast We would beforever grateful.
And that's why we love sports.
That's why we're in this job.
you could show up thinking it'sgonna be an everyday average
game.
And you get there and just theseathletes, these players dig deep
(05:48):
and they find ways to makethings happen.
And I mean, that's why they getpaid the big bucks.
They make miracles happen.
It really was.
It was just, you know,unbelievable.
And that final shot he had atthe end, And just the fans and
his little dance, his little he,I'm doing his little dance right
now, but it was so cute.
He was just, I mean, what's sogreat about Luca just getting to
(06:10):
watch him day in and day out isthat he truly loves basketball.
He does at the end of the day.
He's just such a fan of thesport that he plays.
I think he sometimes surpriseshimself in when he makes these
huge shots and has these greatmomentous, things that happen to
him at the game, And in fact, Iwatched his post-game interview
and it was really interesting tome because Luca said, you know,
(06:32):
it was luck.
He made the shot, right?
Cause it was luck.
And I'm like, Luca, hold onbrother, let me back it up.
That is not luck.
Luck is like, okay, you're inLos.
Vegas, it's two in the morning.
You're having your last LongIsland Iced Tea of the Night.
Gosh, we've all been there.
I'm like, is that college?
(06:52):
I anyone, if you're having yourlast Long Island iced tea of the
night, you're at the, you know,penny slots and you know it's
smokey in there and you pull thelittle lever and you hit the
jackpot.
I mean Right.
There's no skill involved inthat.
That's luck Now with Luca, thiswas like a lifetime of
preparation and opportunity.
They meet and he has thisincredible moment and that is,
(07:15):
that's what success is.
It's just those two things.
Meet all that preparation he'sdone throughout his entire
career.
He's so smart.
absolutely.
Amazing.
So props, DeLuca again, it wasnot luck.
It's your skill.
I'm sure he's so humble.
He always just says it was agreat team win.
Yeah.
And you know everything.
You know what else I love abouthim though?
Is he embraces Texas.
(07:36):
he is full on like I'm a Texan.
Like can we talk about hisoutfit phone Christmas Eve.
I know.
How about when he shows up inthe full Western regalia, which,
you know, I.
Yeah.
Cause that's my thing, And so Isaw the picture and I
immediately sent it to myhusband.
Cause I was like, yes, this guyis so awesome because he had the
cowboy lovely hat on.
He had the little bolo talk.
(07:56):
Aw.
Black.
Yes.
Yep.
And, and he pulled up in somereally awesome classic car,
which I don't know exactly whatit was.
There was.
Dispute in the media dining asto what kind of car it was.
I'm not sure if we figured thatout.
Um, some people were like, oh,it's a GT O Oh, it's a Mustang.
Oh, it's, they were all, youknow, chattering.
And I was just look looking,hoping someone would figure it
out.
But anyways, overall, that wholething, just a crazy, amazing
(08:16):
night.
So I feel like he channeled thespirit of Texas, brought it to
that game, brought home thisincredible legendary moment.
like the MAB said, the shotheard around the world,
everybody.
Mm-hmm.
tweeting about it today.
Athletes from all over.
Luca, great job.
Round of applause from the It'sa lot y'all podcast Amazing.
not only did Luca have a great,amazing busy night, we had a
(08:39):
really busy night as well.
Busy night.
Yes.
Yeah.
We were all over the place onthe court, on the drum line up
top.
It was a crazy night.
Yeah.
And I decided to wear these, um,Pleather pants.
They weren't even real leather.
They were pleather.
They looked super cute though.
They were pretty cute.
But let me just tell you, theywere hot.
(08:59):
They were hot and they werenoisy.
What kinda hot are we talkingabout?
I mean, I was just like, youknow, wearing these pants, there
was just a lot.
And you taking me up theescalator all the way up there
and I, I thought, I was like, amI just gonna pass out of he?
And I couldn't figure out whatwas going on, but we've narrowed
it down.
I'm fanning her up theescalator.
(09:20):
We figured out that it was apants issue because they were
that pleather.
So it keeps you really warm,even though it's freezing
outside.
The arena's pretty, I mean, onceyou fill that place up, which it
was packed, it gets kind of hot.
So I made Allie walk the stairs.
Take the escalator.
But we made it.
We didn't miss our time out.
You did great by the way,another crazy thing was I was
(09:42):
like, we gotta to take theelevator, you know?
Oh gosh.
We, gosh, here we go.
We cannot be, yeah.
We cannot be going up the stairsall the way up to where we need
to be for this time out.
We need to take the elevator.
And you were like, it's animmediate No.
Allie knows, like, I just giveher this look like, yeah, that's
not gonna happen.
I know.
And I just, I'm like, okay.
She's the boss.
At the end of the day, it'slike, you know, she, you're not
gonna take the fall for adecision that I make And you
(10:04):
cannot risk taking the elevatorbecause you don't know how, when
that thing's gonna arrive, howlong it's gonna take to get up
to the mid level of the arena.
That's just such a big risk.
And with basketball, you neverknow when the time out's gonna
happen.
I mean, it can happen.
Second.
So I, that's the thing.
Glad yeah.
I'm glad I made Allie take thestairs.
We got our steps in, we took theescalator so we didn't have to
(10:26):
walk up steps there.
It all worked out.
We were there for the timeout.
So kudos.
Yeah, we talk about one time onthis podcast, not today cuz we
had so much to, to.
Cover.
but my reoccurring nightmare ofnot making it to my time out on
time because I, I do have thisreoccurring nightmare and it's
exactly the same and it happensevery year.
So we'll get to that.
Put it on, put it on the noteslist.
Put it on the notes.
Put it on the notes.
(10:47):
Ok.
You, I mean, and that doeshappen though.
That does happen in liveproduction, which we can talk
about this on another day too.
But when that does happen, wecan move things around where you
as the audience would never knowthat we missed our time out.
Right.
Yeah.
But, but we don't do that on thereg.
Yeah, I was gonna, For therecord.
I have never missed a time out.
There you go like that on therecord.
Speaking of, uh, doing things ontime and being, you know, where
(11:10):
you need to be, this is reallyfunny because we have a, we have
a, a battle going on.
I would like to say, We're gonnatalk about the Q battle because
this is so funny to me andy'all, I'm gonna try to describe
what goes on.
So basically when it's a time, Ihead onto the court to wherever
my location is, wherever theshot's gonna be.
(11:30):
so it's me.
And then in front of me isobviously the cameraman, and
then next to the cameraman isNicole.
Okay.
So it's Nicole's job.
She's listening on her trusteeheadset and, Carla or whoever's
inside, telling her when it'stime for me to start talking
because there's a delay in thearena.
Mm-hmm.
there's a lot going on.
They always have other thingsthey have to do.
(11:51):
Sometimes they're coming fromsomewhere else to me.
So Nicole.
You know, main thing is to cueme and let me know that it's
time to speak.
Okay.
So what's really funny is wehave kind of a newer camera guy
and I love him.
But you know what's interestingis he is queuing me as well.
And so what I'm looking at infront of me, okay, like this is
(12:12):
Nicole will have her hand up,which she more like this.
Very relaxed.
Very relaxed.
It's a very relaxed hand, whichmeans, you know Allie like
starting stand by your headstraight.
Yes.
Cause we're about to go to you.
So I have to stop thinking aboutbutterflies and candy canes and
start thinking about what I'mabout to say, which sometimes I
get out there and I'm like, Oh,look who's over there, Uh, so
she keeps me focused, but thento this side of me, the
(12:32):
cameraman pops up his hand andhis hand is straight and it
means business.
So I've got Nicole on one sideand I've got this going on, and
Nicole sees out of the corner ofher eye that the cameraman is
trying to steal her thunder andcue me, and she's not gonna let
that happen.
So all of a sudden, a relaxedhand, you know, it's now a stiff
hand.
Starts to firm up Yeah.
(12:54):
It starts to firm up.
So we've got the battle going onand.
inside laughing because I knowthat Nicole is in, is just like,
you know, she's just going,what's going on here?
This is, this is my thing.
What's going on?
So anyways, right, they both endup queuing me at the same time.
So it was fine, but then anothergame, it happened again.
I'm looking at them.
So then when it happens, thesecond time, Nicole and I have
(13:14):
already talked about the QBattle, right?
And how she feels like she won,even though really it was a tie.
I'm not gonna let her know thatshe feels like she won the Q
battle.
So when it happened again, andI'm in front of the camera, and
I'm literally about to have tosay a million things and not
mess it up in front of all thepeople in the arena, and all I
can do is start laughing insidebecause I'm witnessing Nicole's
face just immediately.
Because she's having another Qbattle.
(13:35):
So anyways, it's just reallyfunny sometimes, and I'm dying
laughing inside too.
I'm like, he is not gonna stealmy thunder.
And I'm more of like, Allie, youlook at me because I am getting
direct feed from the producer Soeven if he cues you, you follow
my cue.
So yeah, it's crazy.
so funny.
But I always win.
I always.
Yeah, well, I at least let youthink you win Cause we would, we
(13:57):
would not want to know whathappens if you do not win the Q
Battle.
but, you know, we also have alot of stuff that goes on at the
Dallas Cowboys game and, um, wehad a, a great game.
we host the pre-game show on theeast side of at and t Stadium,
so there's a huge crew overthere.
Nicole and I are just a part ofa large team that makes this all
(14:17):
happen.
Mm-hmm.
but.
It's really funny because, youknow, sometimes Nicole is very
kind and she's like, oh, youlook great in this outfit.
Let me get a photo of you so youcan post it on your social
media.
And I'm like, wow, this girl isjust so nice.
Like, really you guys, Nicole isthe nicest person in the world.
She just wants the best foreverybody.
She wants the show to beperfect.
(14:38):
Oh, she's so dedicated.
Seriously.
Um, but it.
It's really funny because, soshe had taken a few photos of me
and then I looked at them and Irealized, oh, they were a little
bit blurry.
Now Let me first preface this bysaying that it was cold outside.
Freezing Nicole.
Freezing Nicole is the one forthe cold.
We can get into more of thatlater.
She had on, a pair of gloves,like some fluffy gloves that
(15:00):
were kind of like, Smooth on theback.
Mm-hmm.
So she, you can text in them,right?
Yes.
Can text in'em.
Okay.
So super cool.
Anyway, so she takes thepictures, I'm gonna use my
phone, and she's like, bam, bam,bam.
And then I'm looking at'em and Iwas like, you know what?
They're a little bit blurry.
I think my lens needs, you know,a little bit cleaning.
And so there was this momentwhere the world stopped because
I'm looking at Nicole and I havemy phone and I'm thinking to her
(15:23):
I'm basically thinking I'm gonnahave her use her glove to clean
the lens of my camera, becauseit's like the perfect soft
material to get it nice andclean.
But then I have this briefmoment where I'm like, Hmm, I
don't know if I want her glovestouching my lens of my camera,
because they've been touchingeverything and who the heck
knows where?
I mean, you know, it's hergloves.
I'm like, ah.
(15:43):
But at the same time, you guys,Nicole has this brief moment
where she pauses and she's.
Wait a second.
I'm looking at her and I'm like,he's looking.
I know she's not thinking thatI'm supposed to wipe off her
camera with my glove You guys.
So what the funny part of thisis that Nicole is thinking the
(16:04):
same thing that I am.
We're both like, Ew.
She's not gonna use her glove toclean my camera.
And she's thinking, Ew, I'm notgonna use my glove to clean this
girl's nasty phone, which hasbeen all over at and t Stadium.
So the question is, to this day,we still don't know who was
right in this situation.
So I think we need to pull theaudience.
So we need to ask you guys.
(16:24):
You need to tell us.
Do you think.
I'm right in the situation.
Meaning that I should have beenlike concerned about her using
her quote unquote nasty glovesto clean my lens.
Or is she right thinking I'm notgonna use my nice gloves to
clean her nasty, nasty lensYeah.
but there was a moment.
Yeah, it was just hilarious cuzit was a moment where we both
(16:46):
just stopped and looked at eachother and it was like, are you
thinking what I'm thinking?
Or like, are you expecting me toclean your lens and vice versa?
It was hilarious.
Oh my goodness.
I know.
It was so funny.
But you know what?
At the end of the day, I took mygloves and I cleaned your lens I
know you did, but then what didyou do?
What you told me what you didafterwards?
So I went home and I stuck themstraight in the washer So now
(17:10):
next time, we at least know thegloves are clean and I can
easily wash'em.
So a win-win.
Win win.
What a funny, what a funny day.
And by the way, it was like socold, that game that you had
really bundled up.
You brought out all the stopsyou had your parka on.
Let's talk a little bit aboutwhere you were before you were
with the Dallas Cowboys and theMavs.
(17:31):
Tell us about you being inCleveland and who you worked for
and all that jazz.
Yes.
So previously before moving toDallas, I was up north in
Cleveland, Ohio.
So if you're familiar withCleveland, it's right there on
one of the Great Lakes and itgets cold.
I used to walk back and forth towork to the arena.
I used to work for the ClevelandCavers at the time, so I lived
(17:52):
downtown, really close to thearena and would constantly walk
outside.
It's just, a different kind ofcold up there with no sunshine.
So when I get that feeling oflike, Coldness and the wind's
blowing just takes me back.
my gosh.
But I, first of all, I didn'tknow you lived downtown, so what
was that like?
Does Cleveland have like anightlife?
Like what, because you're,you're very, um, you guys,
(18:16):
Nicole is extremely, I justwanna say hip, like you go to
all the cool.
Yeah, you go to the cool spotsyou have really like,
aesthetically pleasing Instagramstories.
Like they're always very moodyand like, you're just always
having a fabulous drink withlike a delicious dessert.
And I don't know, you're just solike, just duh.
(18:36):
You know, you're just, you thinkit out there.
Yeah.
Mean I'm over here, you know,just slumming it at my house.
I got the scrunchy on my hand.
I mean, I'm just still stuck inthe nineties.
I don't know.
But anyways.
Tell me about the Clevelandnightlife.
Downtown Cleveland.
I will say, you know, it's got alittle bit going on.
You know, it's, it's not yourtypical like big city vibes.
(18:57):
It's more of like a smaller,downtown.
It's more like a restaurantscene, not too clubby.
They might have a couple clubs,but I never really like went out
and did the nightlife thingthere.
Um, right.
But it's cool.
It's just really cold.
Nine months and compared toDallas.
Like when you got to Dallas, wasthe nightlife like instantly a
lot better or is it kind of thesame vibe, or what's the
(19:17):
comparison there?
A lot better, but Dallas is sucha big market.
Like Dallas has all the newrestaurants, and you never have
to go to the same place twice,if that makes sense.
There's always a new thingpopping up and a new place to
try.
So a lot bigger, but I mean, Canwe blame it?
Everything's bigger in Texas,right?
I know.
Well, I mean, I wanna say roundapplause for you.
(19:38):
That's great.
You get to try a new place everyday.
Because where I live, it'seither you're going to the gas
station to eat, um, we have onerestaurant in town and, uh, oh,
we just got actually another newone, A barbecue place.
But otherwise I'm having todrive, move them up.
Yeah, I'm having to drive andI'm meeting Chick-fil-A every
day because you know, it's themost gourmet you got out here.
Yeah, you can't go wrong withChick-fil-A.
You can't go wrong withChick-fil-A.
(19:58):
I'm 90 miles from Dallas,everybody.
that's the commute I'm makingevery single time we have a
game, whether it's Cowboys orMavs, which I like because, you
know, I get time to talk on thephone, listen to podcasts, catch
up with friends.
I have two kids, so that's kindof my quiet time.
So I do really love it.
yeah, it's, you get tired of theChick-fil-A every day.
I will say.
It's, it's okay.
It's great.
So, back to the how cold thisgame was.
(20:20):
Oh, yes.
Oh my goodness.
Guys, I know when I tell you, wegotta speak about your little
heater, but we bring like theheat warmers for your hands and
your feet.
And guys, I just do not do wellin the colds and.
Overall, I feel like I'm a, apretty like, happy person, but
something about that coldweather just makes me like not
(20:43):
happy.
I know.
I was shocked actually.
I have never seen Nicole be in abad mood, like how she is, how
you see her.
She's nice and happy and kindand sweet, and she was like, Mm.
Like something came over youthat day and I was like, what is
going on, Nicole?
And then finally you're justlike, I don't like the cold.
So she had this like major parkaon with like the furl around it.
(21:03):
You had the sunglasses, we hadthe, I looks like I was in
Alaska, literally, right?
It was cold.
I mean the whole nine, you didhave your snow boots on and then
you got really mad that you, youcouldn't get'em on and off cause
you wanted to.
Anyway, so I brought for myoffice, I brought a space
heater.
Cause I was like, just in casethere's no heater, which there
ended up being no heater.
(21:24):
I was like, well at least havethis little one.
Right?
So we did, we plugged greatidea, right?
Like, oh, Alex got a spaceheater.
We're gonna be fine.
Yeah.
Okay.
The space heater, when I tellyou it was trying to heat
negative degree temperature, itwas not doing its job.
It was just in there, in thatlittle tent, just trying its
little best little heater thatjust tiny little heater.
You know, it was like a 12 by 12inch heater.
(21:46):
And, it actually ended up dyingand we had to unplug it and, you
know, do a little prayer overit.
And it did come back to life,Um, that actually it ended up
working really well because youdid, my feet were freezing.
That was the main thing for me.
And so I took off my cowboyboots and I just stuck my toes
basically into the heater, gotthem warmed up again, and then I
was fine.
I was good to go.
And you were basically having alittle meltdown in there cuz you
(22:08):
were, I was like, just get yoursnow boots off.
Get your feet warm.
It's gonna change.
You're like, you're like, No,I'm not taking off my boots and,
you know, it was so hard to getthese on inside.
It's so, I mean, does anybodyget aggravated with that?
Like you're, you have, okay.
I've already like doubled up mylayer of socks, right?
I have like more socks onthermals underneath, and it
takes me like 10 minutes to puteach boot on So I know the fact
(22:30):
that it was like, should I takemy boot off just to try to warm
my feet up?
No shot.
No.
Um, you know what was coolthough when we were at Cowboys
that day is, a lot of like thehigher ups in the organization
came out to check on us.
I love that.
They're so, so nice.
I know the people that are, youknow, extremely busy normally
during the game and are, youknow, way up high in the
(22:52):
stadium, making sure everythinghappens.
They came all the way out to theEast Plaza to check on us.
They brought us snacks.
They made sure we had hot cocoacoffee.
We're warm.
As warm as can be.
So shout out to the Cowboysorganization.
Yes.
Cause they're always takingcare.
And, y'all are the best.
So thank you so much for that.
But after that game, I will sayI made an immediate beeline to c
v s to get a, a mask, aNeutrogena mask.
(23:12):
Mm-hmm.
this is not an ad, but I haverecently discovered they have
these like dehydrating masks.
So the wind again was like ahundred miles an hour.
Um, and so I felt like.
My face had kind of just likepeeled off from the wind
throughout the day.
We're really making this soundlike a pleasant thing to be.
We do love our jobs but it's arough out there.
It was really cold that day andthe wind was like, I think you
(23:33):
can get wind burn.
I think that's a thing.
I think I had that.
So on my way home I was like, Ineed to figure this, figure out
what's going on.
So anyways, um, Ulta was closed.
So I ended up going to CVS and Ifound this Neutrogena mask.
You guys, if you're listeningout there and you, this is like
my first time using masks.
I'm normally not that.
I just, I, I just have nevergotten into that.
(23:53):
But I've been hearing about it.
It comes in a blue package andit's, it's very messy and I
don't know if it's the best, butdoes it help?
Yes, absolutely.
So I was really excited cuz Iended up stopping at CVS instead
of Ulta just to see if they hadit.
And I was shocked because notonly did they have the mask that
I love, but it was.
50 cents cheaper.
And so I was just having alittle party over there with a
CVS lady cuz she's like, I don'tthink we have it.
(24:15):
And then we found it and we wereso excited cause it was cheaper
and so cheap.
Oh wow.
Oh my.
I know.
Shout out to cvs.
Shout out to cvs, for making ithappen that day and bringing my
face back to life because it, itjust, it took a beating that day
out there in that weather.
And did you put it on the firstthing in the car?
I'm still not exactly sure I'mdoing it right because if you
(24:37):
guys know the mask I'm talkingabout, it is extremely messy.
So you open it up and it's justlike spilling all over the
place, and I don't know if I'mdoing something wrong, so I'm
just trying to slather it ontomy face, you know, which side.
It's like one side has the stuffon it, one side doesn't.
So I'm just hoping I have theright side of the mask onto my
face and it's just like drippingeverywhere.
So I don't, I don't really know.
All I know.
(24:57):
It does make it, my skin feelbetter and at the end of the day
it's worth it.
But I'm gonna have to try thisout.
Yeah, we need to try it out.
I know.
Cause I'm all about facials andYeah, I know.
Hold on, we'll put it on ourstories and you'll let, we'll
