Speaker 1: I Heart Radio Girl, Week one in the books strap
Speaker 1: it On because you know what, I'm strapping on my
Speaker 1: back brace because that's what happens when you stand on
Speaker 1: a sideline for four and a half hours, You're just
Speaker 1: start slouching and putting. That's the last time I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say strap it on, and I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: we gotta start over. So how he says, we're going
Speaker 1: to get fired because things like that. I gotta yeah,
Speaker 1: I was out saying I was out in the streets.
Speaker 1: You're about to be out on the streets on Thursday, girl.
Speaker 1: People are listening in a great way. I was walking.
Speaker 1: I posted a video on my Instagram. Love that video.
Speaker 1: We took that that was v VR security. And then
Speaker 1: I was walking on the field to leave run to
Speaker 1: the potty, and people were like, calm down, calm down.
Speaker 1: And I looked at me and I go, holy crap,
Speaker 1: they're really listening. Anyways, Howie Long says, we're getting fired.
Speaker 1: So first of all, thank you guys for listening. You kidding.
Speaker 1: We know who you are because you guys give us
Speaker 1: questions and we induced conversation, which is part of our
Speaker 1: pre game. We have a lot to talk about, which
Speaker 1: will be a continuation of the pregame which we do
Speaker 1: earlier on in the week, which is ten minutes of
Speaker 1: fun um, How we love We also dinner, and how
Speaker 1: he says to me, you're gonna get fired for that podcast,
Speaker 1: and how he is like my second father that I
Speaker 1: get so nervous if he says something to me because
Speaker 1: I just want to make him proud, and he doesn't
Speaker 1: say a lot, and so when you know, when he
Speaker 1: says something like I better listen, And then I got
Speaker 1: so paranoid. I called you the next day. I couldn't
Speaker 1: call you that night, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, are we saying something wrong? Should I
Speaker 1: shut up? My life has always been an open book,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I share way too much. But I
Speaker 1: just don't want how he to be upset with me. So, Diane,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, tell how he calmed down because I
Speaker 1: stopped telling him what we're talking about. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: girls stuff. I will be honest, And I told you
Speaker 1: this when you called me freaking out, I was like, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm also very sensitive. I don't want to piss off
Speaker 1: our bosses or say too much or you know, we
Speaker 1: have a morals clause in our contract. But when I
Speaker 1: said the body suit thing, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: did I overshare? I sent it to a K my
Speaker 1: manager slash advisor, slash mentor slash best friend constant shorts
Speaker 1: and she was like, me and my husband are absolutely crying.
Speaker 1: And then I posted it and all these people women
Speaker 1: were like I hear you, Yes, their body suits suck.
Speaker 1: And it's like, come on, calm down, Okay, good. So
Speaker 1: now that we got that out of the way, how
Speaker 1: I am sorry, But we are going to continue to
Speaker 1: talk about things that you know, this far into our career,
Speaker 1: we don't care, and we'll talk about So I have
Speaker 1: a laundry list of things that I need to get to.
Speaker 1: But first and foremost of those of you guys listening
Speaker 1: and not watching, Aaron just put on her comfy brace.
Speaker 1: This is something she turned me onto. It pulls your
Speaker 1: shoulders back, It gives you good posture. First week on
Speaker 1: the road, there was Margarita's consumed at the bar. I
Speaker 1: was very jealous. So you went, then you then you
Speaker 1: went to Minnesota. Only the best for Aaron if they
Speaker 1: want to be a sponsor, I welcome it. Start from
Speaker 1: the beginning and sort of take us behind the curtain.
Speaker 1: On your first week on the road, it was very adventurous.
Speaker 1: I was side texting you and Ryan are producer about
Speaker 1: so many things I wanted to talk about. We well, Thursday,
Speaker 1: we go to Green Bay because I wold sitting down
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers on Friday, and I also have conference
Speaker 1: calls and it's with the packers that day, and that's
Speaker 1: my side of the field. So when I am scheduled
Speaker 1: to be on this conference call at the same time,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to take a connecting flight to Green Bay,
Speaker 1: so I nixed that. In the bud, I decided to
Speaker 1: fly from l A to Chicago and have a car
Speaker 1: service take me to Green Bay. Three hours in the
Speaker 1: car so I could listen to all the conference calls
Speaker 1: with Joe Barry, Aaron and Matt Lafleur responsive, got my iPad,
Speaker 1: got my charges ready to go. I knew we would
Speaker 1: stop it to drive through all the things, get into
Speaker 1: the car as and I'm there an hour ahead. Everything's
Speaker 1: looking good. Who were right? Guy? Looks good. Charger doesn't
Speaker 1: work in the car. But that's okay. I know I've
Speaker 1: got Aaron Rodgers. I've got a type I want to research.
Speaker 1: Go to shut the car door. Cardboard doesn't shut. It's
Speaker 1: like on some lock thing that it won't shut all
Speaker 1: the way. And I'm like, sir, this isn't shutting. He
Speaker 1: gets out, he's messing with it. We're trying to shut it.
Speaker 1: I'm slowly seeing the minutes take by. He gets a
Speaker 1: toolbox out. He starts like trying to finagle the handle,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, i gotta be honest, i gotta pee.
Speaker 1: I'm thirsty. I got Aaron Rodgers. In forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to panic and sweat. So I call Fox Travel.
Speaker 1: They're great. They're like, we're gonna get you someone that
Speaker 1: else there. This car service feels really bad. They do
Speaker 1: get somebody there. We'll first we have to drive around
Speaker 1: and he's like, can you hold the car door shut
Speaker 1: while we drive? Like too, and I was like, what
Speaker 1: could go wrong? Okay? So then another car service comes
Speaker 1: gets me the guy. It's so bad. He was sweating profusely.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's fine, it's totally fine. Get in the car.
Speaker 1: Minutes till Aaron gets on the phone. Great, get all
Speaker 1: set up. We are going. Guy picks me up. Newer
Speaker 1: car power outlets are working. We're going great. And Baron
Speaker 1: gets on, good to see you. Week one. Here we come.
Speaker 1: How we doing, No, Davante Adams. I'm typing, headphones are working.
Speaker 1: We're good. I hear snoring. I know it's not Greg Olson,
Speaker 1: Kevin Burkhard or Aaron Rodgers snoring. It's my driver who
Speaker 1: fell asleep at the wheel. What the highway from Chicago?
Speaker 1: Time out? What do you mean he fell asleep at
Speaker 1: the wheel like you look up? Snoring, sleeping and baby,
Speaker 1: we're not moving sixty what? I am so thankful. I
Speaker 1: put my phone on mute because we're on a zoom
Speaker 1: on a zoom. I put my phone on mute, and
Speaker 1: I go, are you effing sleeping? Wakes up Clark gris Ball.
Speaker 1: It was awful. So now I have the quarterback of
Speaker 1: the team. I'm trying to work on. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: take notes. I have full blown anxiety, like this is
Speaker 1: not the way I want to go down. This is
Speaker 1: not the way I want to die. You want to
Speaker 1: go down? You expect your driver to stay awake while
Speaker 1: driving yeah, you're two o'clock in the afternoon. We're good here.
Speaker 1: So now he's like, no, no, no, I'm fine. He's
Speaker 1: snoring snoring. So not only am I trying to listen
Speaker 1: to Aaron, I am doing full blown like looking in
Speaker 1: and his eyes are slowly closing. After Aaron gets off,
Speaker 1: I go pull over at a Starbucks. I make him
Speaker 1: pull over Adam McDonald's. I go in, I get him
Speaker 1: a coffee. He doesn't drink it the entire car ride.
Speaker 1: I am like monitoring if he's sleeping at the wheel. Aaron,
Speaker 1: this is the weirdest thing I've ever heard, so so
Speaker 1: ready to have, like, honestly, I don't want to say
Speaker 1: a heart attack. I'm sensitive about saying that, but I
Speaker 1: was so anxious I thought I was going to give
Speaker 1: myself a stroke. Okay, So I haven't a lot over
Speaker 1: the weekend because in and out right, and there's some
Speaker 1: stuff we don't like to talk about, because I wanted
Speaker 1: here for the first time here. But I pulled up
Speaker 1: to the next next to the guy, remember, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I think this guy is sleeping next to me,
Speaker 1: And You're like, oh, that's nothing compared to my ride
Speaker 1: that I had the Green Bay, which I didn't know
Speaker 1: the full elaboration of the story because we ended up
Speaker 1: having to get off the phone. But this guy next
Speaker 1: to me which just had his eyes closed, and but
Speaker 1: we were to stop light and he wasn't the driver,
Speaker 1: that is, I'm I'm surprised you actually stayed in the
Speaker 1: car after that. I need you, like I can't have
Speaker 1: three cars. And for the record, by the way, Aaron
Speaker 1: and I have put in our time and effort driving
Speaker 1: our own pick up the Herd's rent old car, national
Speaker 1: rent car, drive ourselves to seven places. So when we
Speaker 1: sit here and Saint driver, this is a luxury the
Speaker 1: fifteen years in that our company has afforded us. And
Speaker 1: you were being a good little soldier, not to be
Speaker 1: confused with soldier field with woe is a raind lay
Speaker 1: driving yourself from one place to the next. But oh
Speaker 1: my god, it wasfying and I did think should we
Speaker 1: pull over? But I've already called once for a new car,
Speaker 1: and I can work to keep him awake. And I
Speaker 1: kept looking. So I was also stressed out because I
Speaker 1: wasn't really paying attention to my conference calls, which are
Speaker 1: like bible to me. Anyways, I finally get to Green Bay,
Speaker 1: go watch the rams that whole thing, and then um,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's ud. The interview with Aaron it
Speaker 1: ended up being great. It was shot so well. Our
Speaker 1: our producer, Joel Santos is insane. Get to where was
Speaker 1: I in? Minnesota? Get to Minnesota. I can't wait till
Speaker 1: you're like this starting on Thursday. What sitting am I in?
Speaker 1: I get to Minnesota, I am there on Friday night.
Speaker 1: We travel Friday night. After our Aaron interview on Saturday,
Speaker 1: I decide I'm gonna I'm gonna treat yourself. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: treat myself. And Aaron talks about you know, self love
Speaker 1: and and you know, taking care of yourself. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat myself to a facial. One of the
Speaker 1: biggest reasons why I decided to do it was I
Speaker 1: also put a mask on before I went to Green Bay,
Speaker 1: which made all my acne come out, and I was
Speaker 1: like shit, So I went and got a facial. This
Speaker 1: girl was so sweet and so nice. I noticed I
Speaker 1: was yes a little fizzy on my face, so I
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, do you guys have a blade to
Speaker 1: do derma flash? Can you Derma flash me or micro
Speaker 1: blade or whatever, and she's like, yeah, great, no worries.
Speaker 1: So she's micro blading and you know whatever. And I
Speaker 1: felt her kind of go over a little. It's pretty
Speaker 1: good now, yeah you can barely see it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: But that video though, when you did, and it's a story,
Speaker 1: it looked it didn't look good. She cut my face
Speaker 1: and she didn't mean to, and she told me at
Speaker 1: the end of it, and she was so panicked, poor thing,
Speaker 1: and she started to cry and she wouldn't give me
Speaker 1: a mirror to see my face. And I just said,
Speaker 1: can I see my face? Because I didn't know what
Speaker 1: the hell I was thinking of. It was nothing, it
Speaker 1: was fine. I knew it was going to heal, but
Speaker 1: I was like, it's still your face, And yeah, you
Speaker 1: have a right to be worried about was staying awake
Speaker 1: and your esteticition, not cutting your face open. So I
Speaker 1: don't think that that was ridiculous. Yeah, So that was
Speaker 1: Week one. I can't wait to see what week two
Speaker 1: has in store for you, where you get behind the
Speaker 1: wheel exactly. I was just gonna say, where is Carrie Underwoods?
Speaker 1: How was your Week one? My week was very uneventful
Speaker 1: compared to yours. Yourself drove myself to work, but I
Speaker 1: set seven alarms, so I wake up at four fifteen.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if anyone else like this. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're like this either, where you're you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna you're so afraid that you're going to
Speaker 1: sleep through the alarm that you really never fully get
Speaker 1: a good night's sleep because you keep waking up thinking
Speaker 1: that you're gonna miss the alarm. So that's after like
Speaker 1: week five, I get over that. But yeah, that was
Speaker 1: my I set multiple alarms and you know, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like the first day of school. I
Speaker 1: get so excited. I get to see all my friends
Speaker 1: again at work. And then of course Sean Payton joining
Speaker 1: us for those of us that don't fall but Ball,
Speaker 1: he used to be the coach of the Saints, and
Speaker 1: he's obsessed with Aaron, and so much so that he
Speaker 1: would get really mad when Aaron wouldn't work his sidelines
Speaker 1: of the Saints games. And so now he's in studio
Speaker 1: with us, and so he always makes a joke. He's like,
Speaker 1: whoever doesn't have Aaron on their sideline is gonna and
Speaker 1: then on our text chain, he was he wasn't like
Speaker 1: talking to you about working the Packers were used. I
Speaker 1: know that we we have a mixed audience of like
Speaker 1: people that really are love football and then more of
Speaker 1: just like pedestrian fans. But just give me a headline
Speaker 1: having worked the game and all your conversations with these guys,
Speaker 1: even if you could only listen half of the way
Speaker 1: with Aaron and whatnot. Were you surprised by that? Are
Speaker 1: you concerned because you're gonna get a lot of Packers games,
Speaker 1: and of course there's a lot of you know, question
Speaker 1: marks surrounding them after that performance, but you know this
Speaker 1: team very well. Yeah. I think there were three key
Speaker 1: guys on that offense that he really needed to play,
Speaker 1: being Alan Lazard and those two tackles that didn't play,
Speaker 1: So that was hard for the offense. I thought Sean
Speaker 1: actually was on Cal and Cowherd today and I'm excited
Speaker 1: to ask Tom Brady this this week for our game.
Speaker 1: Sean really talked about and I've heard him say this before,
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of an NFL season, you see
Speaker 1: the defense is playing a lot better than the offenses
Speaker 1: because it takes some time for the offenses to shape.
Speaker 1: Why don't you use that on your Thursday night show
Speaker 1: as well? I will because that's interesting. It's so interesting,
Speaker 1: and we saw this last year with Aaron Rodgers and
Speaker 1: playing Sean Payton in the New Orleans Saints. They got wrapped,
Speaker 1: they got it handed to him. So I'm curious to
Speaker 1: get Brady's thoughts on that. But I look, I Greg
Speaker 1: said it perfectly in our game, And how cute were
Speaker 1: those two guys in our game yesterday? They did such
Speaker 1: a good job. But Greg said it, Aaron's going to
Speaker 1: have to be patient, and he's really gonna have to
Speaker 1: kind of see these young guys through. I knew I
Speaker 1: was tipped off before the game. He was gonna go
Speaker 1: deep very first play of the game. I didn't know
Speaker 1: who he was going to go to, but man, my
Speaker 1: heart sang for that kid. I know these players don't
Speaker 1: feel that way and and Vikings fans, but you know,
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. It was like, I'm sure talked about
Speaker 1: all week. I got tipped off they were going to
Speaker 1: do it. I told our truck they were all freaking excited,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, we want that one bag. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't think about this either until you just said
Speaker 1: I know I had text you about it, but you
Speaker 1: had a new crew for the first time in eleven years,
Speaker 1: like the different voices and Kevin Burkhart and Greg Olsen.
Speaker 1: But I know how much you love them, and you
Speaker 1: know change is always good. We see it in you know, sports,
Speaker 1: we see the turnovers. I look at the Seahawks, like
Speaker 1: that team. They had a good run for a decade,
Speaker 1: but there's you know, turnover in any aspects. So I
Speaker 1: was excited for you to be with your new squad
Speaker 1: and like you couldn't ask for nicer individuals, like oh
Speaker 1: so cute. When I saw Kevin post that picture. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about Kevin Burkhart post a picture of you guys
Speaker 1: at the bar with the margarite. I was to make
Speaker 1: my heart happy. Okay, wait, so I want to get
Speaker 1: into there's a couple of things since the last podcast
Speaker 1: that I we didn't talk about that still pertained to
Speaker 1: week one and whatnot. But there's one which is outfits.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you wore sequence. So you have been kind
Speaker 1: enough to share Alissa Green your stylists on the road
Speaker 1: with me for Amazon stuff. And then we have Vicky
Speaker 1: Trilling of course for Fox. I don't know how she
Speaker 1: dresses all the people she does. She's crazy busy. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you wore Sequence in the sit down interview with
Speaker 1: Aaron and the Aaron Andrews. I know would not have
Speaker 1: done that a couple of years ago. Now. I know
Speaker 1: the women listening are curious because it's like when you
Speaker 1: go to work and you're like, should I wear this?
Speaker 1: Should I not wear this? What goes into deciding if
Speaker 1: you're like, fuck it, I want to just wear it
Speaker 1: or I don't because I thought the same thing with
Speaker 1: a dress, which when Jillian texts me nice cleavage, I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't even I don't even have you
Speaker 1: look so good, so good. I love I love the
Speaker 1: um I haven't even talked to you since you did it,
Speaker 1: but I love the Like the angle they had of you,
Speaker 1: Oh this is so bad. I can't show this side
Speaker 1: I'm cut. No, I'm kidding, I'm not, but it was
Speaker 1: like a side angle of you in the new Studio
Speaker 1: looks so good. We were like, okay, I love you,
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, I don't even care about the cleavash part. Okay, sequence,
Speaker 1: why would you? It was kind of cropped, I know,
Speaker 1: I tried the same thing on and I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't get away with this. You did it, you can,
Speaker 1: you should wear it. It's yours now, Like, come on,
Speaker 1: let's not get off. I'm gonna wear some of your stuff.
Speaker 1: I probably cause I saw the price tag on it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, there's no fucking way I can
Speaker 1: spend that money on that thing. So I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to sell another living room house at home dot com
Speaker 1: offending stuff is on outfit you knock it at UM.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I just think and look it, it's hard
Speaker 1: for me to be like this because you know how
Speaker 1: like anal and O c D and really super protective.
Speaker 1: I am myself and and putting myself out there kind
Speaker 1: of just over it in terms of and in a
Speaker 1: bad way, but girls just over it in terms of
Speaker 1: like I've worn this ship forever. And I was just saying,
Speaker 1: and I did, like the night before I went to
Speaker 1: Green Bay, I asked my husband and I asked A
Speaker 1: Lissa and Jillian, and I was just like, guys were
Speaker 1: wearing sequence in Green Bay and Jillian's like, who cares?
Speaker 1: And it's like it's so true. What am I showing
Speaker 1: up in? And another blazer, Like what am I doing?
Speaker 1: Like people are a lot more accepting than they were
Speaker 1: back in the day when I first started of all
Speaker 1: these different outfits, because I've been seeing some things out there. Um,
Speaker 1: so I was just like, why not this is hot
Speaker 1: that you know, as Alyssa said, your tan, like, let's
Speaker 1: just do this and um yeah, goes Sequence and I
Speaker 1: go listen, when you've got some self love, you can
Speaker 1: wear some Sequence. That's what I'm talking about. But he
Speaker 1: was such a great sport. I didn't tell you this
Speaker 1: the night before the interview. I'm on a tech chain
Speaker 1: with him and my producer Joel Santos because we've got
Speaker 1: a great friendship, the three of us, and I just
Speaker 1: said to him, Joel was a little stressed out, We're
Speaker 1: not in Lambeau. He Aaron was so kind to us
Speaker 1: to do this outside of Lambeau and and and go
Speaker 1: wherever we wanted him to. And we just said, look,
Speaker 1: it's kind of an elevated thing. Is there any way
Speaker 1: you don't show up in Green Bay sweats? And I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm in Sequence, man, got and he goes,
Speaker 1: I gotta dress up for this and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, We're just trying to make you look good,
Speaker 1: and we just wanted to have like a look to it.
Speaker 1: And I was so thankful for him. He went the
Speaker 1: extra mile and showed up in his jeans and his shirt.
Speaker 1: And I know, you guys at home probably don't get it.
Speaker 1: These guys rolling into the facility at like five am.
Speaker 1: They don't give a crop, you know, so they want
Speaker 1: to get in, they want to get out. So he
Speaker 1: was really great about it. It's usually a lot to
Speaker 1: ask them if they can turn their hat around, which
Speaker 1: I get it, because that's not their job. Their jobs
Speaker 1: to go out and play football, like the interviews the
Speaker 1: secondary part, and they get it. And quarterbacks more than
Speaker 1: anyone because they know that they're the face of the franchise.
Speaker 1: But um, I was just impressed with the elevator, so good,
Speaker 1: right right, you know the vanity like the Vanity Fair,
Speaker 1: like different parties that have the elevators that closed, and yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: And it was Aaron was a full Rogers was a
Speaker 1: full partisant. But yeah, um okay, I was very proud
Speaker 1: of you because again you have earned the right. How
Speaker 1: many years into this business. We both thought, it's like
Speaker 1: fuck it if you want to wear that dress you
Speaker 1: want to wear that sequence. I know for I know,
Speaker 1: I say, I really yeah, it's a big step for me,
Speaker 1: it is, and I'm very proud of you for that.
Speaker 1: So and I know that might seem trivial to other people,
Speaker 1: but there's been a lot of times where Aaron has
Speaker 1: careds a lot and rightfully so that I am glad
Speaker 1: that you're give a funk meter, is you know, lowered? Okay?
Speaker 1: Wearing shoes that are uncomfortable okay leads us to a
Speaker 1: new segment we like to call is it worth it? Okay?
Speaker 1: So they were very cute shoes, but the first text
Speaker 1: I got from you was my feet are ripped up,
Speaker 1: but fuck worth it? So I loved my outfit yesterday.
Speaker 1: I got actually a lot of compliments, very cute on
Speaker 1: a Veronica beard vast and like whatever it was it was,
Speaker 1: I liked it. It was a really nice outfit. But yes,
Speaker 1: I'll say this. You know when players are coming over
Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, e a or I had one
Speaker 1: player and it's not Aaron, so nobody nobody thinks that
Speaker 1: it is. It was a totally different player who I
Speaker 1: actually am into. He's I mean, I like all players,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't say much, and when he does, you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: he walked over and he goes, and I didn't know
Speaker 1: what he was gonna say to me because he didn't
Speaker 1: really walk over to me much. And he goes, it's
Speaker 1: a pretty swaggy outfit you got on. I was like,
Speaker 1: I started, I started blushing and sweating right away, and
Speaker 1: I said, really, I was like so worried people would
Speaker 1: think it was kind of like manly ish, and he
Speaker 1: goes and swaggy and he walked away, and my stomach
Speaker 1: was soaked, Like I'm hot right now talking about him.
Speaker 1: I love that. So I think that people would be
Speaker 1: surprised by how much conversation you will have with those
Speaker 1: guys side like before game, pregame and this does go back.
Speaker 1: And I know I'm Aaron's biggest fan and the biggest
Speaker 1: hype person because I know how hard she works. But
Speaker 1: that relationship with players is so important, and that's one
Speaker 1: thing like I'm excited to get back out on the
Speaker 1: road for because it does matter. Like I sat down
Speaker 1: with Trade Lance for the first time. I never met
Speaker 1: the young kid, I never worked one of his games,
Speaker 1: and then I was trying to help him find a
Speaker 1: dog sitter the other day because he wants to bring
Speaker 1: his dog here but he didn't have anyone to watch it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'll find one for you. So
Speaker 1: we had an interesting conversation with Melissa's Stark about this,
Speaker 1: like getting players phone numbers or d m ng them
Speaker 1: or things like that. It is completely platonic. Like there
Speaker 1: has been times I would be lying if I said
Speaker 1: that I didn't communicate with some players, like back in
Speaker 1: the day with you know, different things when I started
Speaker 1: stopped caring and I would date different players, not so
Speaker 1: much in the NFL, but just in various different sports.
Speaker 1: But like, you can have friendships with these guys, like
Speaker 1: it is completely okay, and like that, Melissa's Stark brought
Speaker 1: up the good point, like why can't guys text them,
Speaker 1: you know, and be like, hey, can you call in
Speaker 1: ten minutes or whatever. It's like, it wouldn't. It's not
Speaker 1: weird to have those conversations, so you get a swag.
Speaker 1: It's also something that just started getting comfortable with, is
Speaker 1: being open with who I'm texting. I used to joke
Speaker 1: with sal pal all the time Sal palestonio on ESPN
Speaker 1: because his first hit on Sundays for their accountdown show.
Speaker 1: Always used to be So and So just texted me
Speaker 1: and I said to Melissa, can you imagine in if
Speaker 1: we said that on air? But now I'm like, I've
Speaker 1: done this for so long, I'm good with it. They
Speaker 1: know I'm not trying to hit him up for anything,
Speaker 1: like you know, so, um yeah, I don't care. But anyways,
Speaker 1: so I wore this outfit, but I wore these loafers
Speaker 1: that I know you're not interested in. They're a different vibe.
Speaker 1: You can pull off a heel out there on the
Speaker 1: field I gotta walk around, but they argue they're kind
Speaker 1: of like Hailey Bieber chunky loafer vibere trying your size
Speaker 1: freaking six foot. Melissa sent some shoes over from me.
Speaker 1: My house has a size nine, and I opened up
Speaker 1: the box and I was like, this is Cinderella's shoe.
Speaker 1: Yours got put in with mine, which they're on the
Speaker 1: way over to your house right now. A size baby
Speaker 1: shoe six and I'm Cinderella's step sisters. Jackie shout out,
Speaker 1: I have size seventeen feet compared to yours. So the
Speaker 1: reason I like a hell is because it makes my
Speaker 1: foot looks smaller. I think that shoe anyone else with
Speaker 1: me on these that like, if you have a bigger foot,
Speaker 1: you need a little hype, you know. I'm also I
Speaker 1: don't I'm not doing um, I'm not doing like You're right,
Speaker 1: You're the one that first said this to me. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing a ballet slipper anymore. That's like I was
Speaker 1: doing that. Now it's like a Jordan's or a loafer
Speaker 1: or something like that. But anyway, so these were so cute.
Speaker 1: They did make the outfit awesome. I'm also trying to
Speaker 1: let alyssa kind of do her thing more. She was
Speaker 1: way more style than I'll ever have in my life, obviously,
Speaker 1: because I got called swaggy, so I was dying. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I was good. I was good through I got him
Speaker 1: stretched out here. I was good to go. I even
Speaker 1: warmed at dinner the night before, a little strategic planning.
Speaker 1: So I was in the first half, I was really
Speaker 1: really good, and then all of a sudden, I was
Speaker 1: like shit. In the third quarter, I just was like hurting.
Speaker 1: Can I give a shout out to crap I forgot
Speaker 1: her name? A Minnesota Viking trainer. She couldn't have been
Speaker 1: more adorable. Um. I did a little thing with her
Speaker 1: on our Calm Down podcast. She came. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm so embarrassed. She came. She gave me, like all
Speaker 1: this stuff you would like Joson Jefferson needs she did
Speaker 1: at my feet yesterday. Nothing and then she came up
Speaker 1: to me at the end of the game and she's like,
Speaker 1: how to go? And I was like, okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: your concern, but so sweet. What a dream. But I
Speaker 1: took them off as soon as I got to the
Speaker 1: car in that nasty stadium like kind of where the
Speaker 1: trucks are in the garbage hands, and I threw my
Speaker 1: nikes on and I couldn't have been happier. Okay, it
Speaker 1: was worth it for the swaggy comment. It was Amanda,
Speaker 1: thank you. That was who helped you. And oh my god, Amanda, Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Ryan so amazing. Earlier in the
Speaker 1: week on our pregame, we talked about where you change.
Speaker 1: So if I'll do it, if I'm doing an interview
Speaker 1: for you know, for the Sunday show or whatever. Let's
Speaker 1: say the interviews Tuesday, do the interviews, stay in those clothes.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're racing too. The airport sometimes you're not, depending
Speaker 1: on when you got the player of the coach. Okay,
Speaker 1: so eight some of the time I am in the
Speaker 1: full outfit, full makeup going through the airport and people
Speaker 1: are like, wow, this girl is really excited to be
Speaker 1: She's going like full face and pickup. And so I
Speaker 1: will change in the bathroom and it's that move of
Speaker 1: taking off the shoe before you can put on the
Speaker 1: other shoe, and then we're putting the things and we're
Speaker 1: trying not to step on and never stepping on the
Speaker 1: bathroom floor obviously, but then you think, like being on
Speaker 1: the sides of your feet if you have to, are
Speaker 1: going to help versus your whole foot down. What am
Speaker 1: I thinking? Take the foot out of the shoe, step
Speaker 1: on the shoe, put it into There's a whole strategic
Speaker 1: planning thing going on. Now The toilets flushing seven times
Speaker 1: because it goes off the sensor. So now that's spraying up.
Speaker 1: You haven't even went to the bathroom. The clothes are
Speaker 1: what it's a production. The door goes in. How am
Speaker 1: I getting in with my bag when the door goes in?
Speaker 1: And then then I get the suitcase in and it
Speaker 1: hits the side of the toilet, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine what the hell is on the side of
Speaker 1: that toilet that just hit my suites that I'm touching.
Speaker 1: I need to know who's planning, and I need something
Speaker 1: with the airport planners that there shouldn't be carpet in
Speaker 1: the airport. We're in those suitcases, he said last night.
Speaker 1: Yea carpet should not be allowed in an airport. And
Speaker 1: bathrooms we can't make them, I understand. If we can't
Speaker 1: make them wider, we can make them longer. No, can
Speaker 1: we not? And why does the door need to swing
Speaker 1: in swing out so I can get my ship in?
Speaker 1: I'm all worked out. Like the swaggy comment, I love
Speaker 1: that you get embarrassed. That's very cute of you that
Speaker 1: you blush. So wait, are you changing in the bathroom
Speaker 1: more times than not? Are you ever getting on the
Speaker 1: plane with the full sideline outfit? If I can get
Speaker 1: five minutes, I die trying. If I can get five minutes,
Speaker 1: I'm running in. Yesterday, Kevin and I proudly changed in
Speaker 1: the Delta lounge, which was wonderful. Quickly got in and
Speaker 1: wash my hands. But this is another thing. Ladies out
Speaker 1: there that work with a lot of men, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if you travel with a lot of men. No, lie,
Speaker 1: So Kevin I go. You know, we've got about forty
Speaker 1: five minutes at the airport before we board, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, people, that is like winning the lottery for us.
Speaker 1: You know what that means. Change. I got a cocktail,
Speaker 1: I maybe get some like chips and salsa with it.
Speaker 1: Maybe I get to and I definitely have time for
Speaker 1: a water, but the cocktail comes first. But so we
Speaker 1: get forty five minutes. Kevin and I getting the Delta lounge.
Speaker 1: We both go in obviously two separate restrooms, and I said, hey, keV,
Speaker 1: wait for me if you get out before me, because
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I gotta get this off. I
Speaker 1: gotta get the shoes, I gotta get the compression pants,
Speaker 1: and I get the leggings. I'm taking out the clipping extensions.
Speaker 1: I'm doing my thing. I'm washing. My hands were good,
Speaker 1: so I but I am panicking like it is like
Speaker 1: a race, like double Dare to get off during the
Speaker 1: amazing race. I don't want Kevin waiting for me. I
Speaker 1: don't want any of these boys waiting because I don't
Speaker 1: want to be the girl that's taken her time. So
Speaker 1: I started panicking. I get out, I start waiting. He's
Speaker 1: not there. I go to the front of the lounge.
Speaker 1: He's not there. I look in the back, he's not there.
Speaker 1: I walked outside the lounge. He's not there. I text
Speaker 1: and I was like, Wow, it feels so good to
Speaker 1: get in comfies. Hoping he would say, hey, e a,
Speaker 1: I'm over here waiting for you. I am panicked. Granted
Speaker 1: you can. All I need is annex a lot on
Speaker 1: the road. He comes out like ten minutes later, and
Speaker 1: he's like, I feels so good. I was like, thank god,
Speaker 1: I thought it was me that was taking so long.
Speaker 1: I don't know why all conversations to me have to
Speaker 1: come back to the bathroom. But it also goes back
Speaker 1: to this. If you're going like if if you're waiting
Speaker 1: for a guy and whatever, you always want to be
Speaker 1: the first one out because you don't want them to
Speaker 1: think like you're in there for any like duration of
Speaker 1: time going to the bathroom. And then it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: there was a long line at the bathroom. I will
Speaker 1: make a point when I'm at dinner if there's more
Speaker 1: than two people in line, I'm going back to the
Speaker 1: table just to go, yeah, there's a line, and then
Speaker 1: just go back again so they don't think like I'm
Speaker 1: and then what am I doing in there? No? No, no, no, no, okay,
Speaker 1: I have to say this. I will only have five
Speaker 1: minutes left. Oh my god, this is not enough time.
Speaker 1: Normally I would say record two episodes, but there's way
Speaker 1: too much that can happen for you and I between
Speaker 1: now and next week. Red Receipts. I've been wanting to
Speaker 1: talk about this for a long time. Who are the
Speaker 1: crazy people that have their red receipts on to someone?
Speaker 1: And his name's Vince Vaughn. I've been trying to get
Speaker 1: Vince Vaughn. I don't I'm saying. I'm saying right now,
Speaker 1: Larry Larry David told me that he is not going
Speaker 1: to come on the show because he just knows that
Speaker 1: we're going to set him up for trouble. So he's out.
Speaker 1: So I said, fine, Larry, if you're not going to
Speaker 1: ever come on our podcast, then I need you to
Speaker 1: give me a friend that will come on. So he
Speaker 1: gives me Vince Vaughn's number. I text Vince Vaughn and
Speaker 1: I say, hey, Vince, Larry said you would come on
Speaker 1: the podcast. He says, no problem. Whenever you want me
Speaker 1: to be on, I'll be on. This was two years ago.
Speaker 1: I've been texting Vince only getting red receipts out of Vince.
Speaker 1: So I said, you know what, I'm gonna show Vince
Speaker 1: that we've got some real superstars on this thing. So
Speaker 1: he did the clip of Matt Damon. I sent him
Speaker 1: the clip of Cameron Diaz. What I get from Vince
Speaker 1: crickets and that red receipt and and the only way
Speaker 1: that Vince is going to get himself out of this
Speaker 1: is if it's an assistant who has his phone, because
Speaker 1: I have gotten nothing from you, and I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: stop harassing you. But you said you'd come on. And
Speaker 1: now it's two years and we've got we've got people
Speaker 1: in freaking US Bank Stadium that are very excited about
Speaker 1: the Calm Down podcast, but nothing from you, Vince. And
Speaker 1: take that right receipt off. Take that. You know who's
Speaker 1: in business with Vince Vaughn that now I'm friends with,
Speaker 1: and so are you who? Greg Olson? Well, great, let's
Speaker 1: do a little game. Have Greg Olsen text Vince and
Speaker 1: see if he responds right, away then we'll Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, Vince is probably going over and telling Larry
Speaker 1: you got we got a real nut job on our hands.
Speaker 1: Over Here, she's text and all the time she sees
Speaker 1: the red receipts. But I need to know independent of
Speaker 1: my Vince Vaughn Rant, Stage five clinger has never been
Speaker 1: more appropriate than over here. We got a real stage
Speaker 1: prime clinger. I need to know who these people are
Speaker 1: that want to leave those you Basically you're telling me
Speaker 1: I read it. I don't care about you, and I'm
Speaker 1: not responding how the people that don't understand some I
Speaker 1: don't And I don't know if it was you or
Speaker 1: my husband or somebody was like, hey, do you know
Speaker 1: that you like have the red receipt on? And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh god, no, like because people really know
Speaker 1: that I read it. I want to be going. This
Speaker 1: is a problem. Um, we gotta pay off your license
Speaker 1: story because you are about to go on the road
Speaker 1: for Thursday night football, which I freaking can't wait. Oh ship,
Speaker 1: but I just realized I'm gonna be flying. That's okay.

Speaker 1: What's going on in there? Okay, Oh my god, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: This podcast is going to have to be a little longer.

Speaker 1: leaving your car when you had too much to drink
Speaker 1: and what happened. No, you know what this this for
Speaker 1: purposes of not being Sean Payton on the Herd. I'm
Speaker 1: going to wrap this up for Ryan's sake, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tease this with if you valet your car and
Speaker 1: your responsible, kudos to you, but make sure you don't
Speaker 1: lose that godforsaken little ticket. It is enough that I
Speaker 1: remember my purse and my my phone and whatever. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the next twenty four hours when I
Speaker 1: go back and they're like, hey, you got that little ticket.
Speaker 1: I didn't even have that little ticket when you handed
Speaker 1: it to me, because when you handed it to me,
