Speaker 1: There was a gentleman in the military that was off
Speaker 1: to this side during our pregame, and he had his
Speaker 1: two kids and his son had a dock jersey on
Speaker 1: dak stopped. He thanked the gentleman for his service. He
Speaker 1: took a picture with the kids, like it's just I'm
Speaker 1: so grateful to be able to work with these guys,
Speaker 1: to watch their career, you know, with an awesome seat,
Speaker 1: and be able to interview them. Calm Down with Erin

Speaker 1: I was very excited. Big night for me last night.
Speaker 1: So I'm in Las Vegas for a deal with a
Speaker 1: couple of different things. There's a big convention out here.
Speaker 1: If anyone knows what cees is, okay, But I had
Speaker 1: a dinner with sweet Charles Woodson, who I work with
Speaker 1: of course on Sundays.
Speaker 2: But everyone knows. Or if you don't know, he went
Speaker 2: to Michigan, we'd get it. When a Heisman all the
Speaker 2: whole thing.
Speaker 1: I feel like Michigan people let everybody know that they
Speaker 1: went to Michigan.
Speaker 2: Michigan. We got Michigan. Okay, Oh you're in trouble. Michigan
Speaker 2: fans go blue. I love Michigan. I had a great
Speaker 2: time there. Dave Abloff, the head PR guy, that was
Speaker 2: all with you know Harbaugh. I love Michigan.
Speaker 1: They're so great, they're so supportive of where this is
Speaker 1: just the salty sec girl. You know, it's just like
Speaker 1: that's fair. I feel like, you guys always win. You
Speaker 1: don't I get that. I realize it's been a while.
Speaker 1: But the Harbaugh family on the field was adorable. His dad, Jack,
Speaker 1: who I've actually met, was so sweet. His little mom,
Speaker 1: come mom.
Speaker 2: Who's got it better than us? Nobody is so so cute,
Speaker 2: but so Charlie. We were at a dinner and Charles
Speaker 2: being such a good team player. First of all, it's
Speaker 2: the national championship. He's clearly the fandom is there for
Speaker 2: his Wolverines. And he's sitting at this dinner and I
Speaker 2: kept texting him and I was like, are you losing
Speaker 2: your mind right now? Because there was no teams. He's
Speaker 2: like sitting at this corporate dinner. Because it was like
Speaker 2: I so I started laughing. I was like, he's like,
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, team guy. Whatever. Anyway, so they
Speaker 2: bring an iPad over and so he started on iPad
Speaker 2: it was like a tap whatever it was, and starts
Speaker 2: watching the game. They win. He starts singing Hail to
Speaker 2: the victors, and it was adorable. But that's not even
Speaker 2: the headline. Congratulations Michigan on winning the national championship. But
Speaker 2: the headline is I got to meet Bo Jackson last
Speaker 2: night and I never met Bo Jackson, and we all, okay,
Speaker 2: anyone that knows me knows my favorite player of all
Speaker 2: time was Dione Sanders, Like, but Bo Jackson. I had
Speaker 2: the bow nose poster on my wall, so you know,
Speaker 2: after a couple of cocktails, I was like, here's my
Speaker 2: chance to ask him any question I've ever wanted to
Speaker 2: ask him. So I asked him what his walk up song?
Speaker 2: And they had music back in the day, of course,
Speaker 2: playing for the Kansas City Royals. He said, anything Tupac Now.
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, oh okay, so Tupac would have
Speaker 2: been a walk up song for him. And then I
Speaker 2: asked him about the story behind the bow nos poster,
Speaker 2: the shoulder pads with the baseball bat. I was like,
Speaker 2: how did this happen? Did you come up with the idea? Like,
Speaker 2: did Nike come up with the idea? He said, Nike
Speaker 2: came up with the idea. But then there was all
Speaker 2: this drama with the photographer and the photographer died. Then
Speaker 2: the sun took over and then he tried to like
Speaker 2: steal the likeness of the thing, and so then bow
Speaker 2: had assumed it was a hole to do. So this
Speaker 2: poster now has like even more meaning for me. Anyways,
Speaker 2: There's very few people that I get like a low
Speaker 2: yer around, but I'm like, it's Bo Jackson and he
Speaker 2: couldn't be nicer, Like what a dream. But yeah, so
Speaker 2: that was like a check off on my little list
Speaker 2: and also a reminder of how cool our dams are
Speaker 2: sometimes when you get to meet the people who used
Speaker 2: to have like a poster on the wall, and then
Speaker 2: watching the National Championship game highlights because they didn't get
Speaker 2: to watch the whole game and seeing Michael Jordan and
Speaker 2: Derreeter Peter together in that frickin' suite, and I was like,
Speaker 2: if I could be anywhere in the world right now,
Speaker 2: I would like to be right there in that suite.
Speaker 2: It was so cool to see them toget can I
Speaker 2: also tell you what I.
Speaker 1: Really love about Derek Jeter is that he just went
Speaker 1: there's no pictures in that suite, Like He's just there.
Speaker 2: It's not like, oh no.
Speaker 1: Anyways, I want to tell you this one Bo Jackson
Speaker 1: thing I got to meet him at also an event
Speaker 1: I got to interview him. It was like a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl thing. I had asked him just dealing with the
Speaker 1: injury and knowing it was over, and just how he
Speaker 1: was able to process His mom was really sick. She
Speaker 1: had either just been diagnosed or was she had passed,
Speaker 1: And he was like, honestly, that's real life shit, not
Speaker 1: what I was dealing with. It was so interesting and
Speaker 1: I walked away just being like, God, this guy is
Speaker 1: such a badass. What could have been? But he's a
Speaker 1: really really nice man. Yeah, really really sweet. And then
Speaker 1: we started talking about hunting because he's in a hunting.
Speaker 1: I'm not in a hunting I can't do that, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I was reminded last night that I got
Speaker 1: to like share in the moment with Jos but then
Speaker 1: also like have that bo Jackson moment, And I was like,
Speaker 1: we have awesome jumps and really cool things that we
Speaker 1: get to do. Can I brag about my job for
Speaker 1: one second? And two guys that I know you have
Speaker 1: spent time with and feel the same. Just after our
Speaker 1: game in Washington, getting Dak in CD and CD was
Speaker 1: just so I mean, of course he should be with
Speaker 1: this season that he's had and obviously what he did
Speaker 1: in that game, but just so excited and so happy,
Speaker 1: and I just said, let me see your hat, and
Speaker 1: I said, oh, that's not bad. And he goes anything
Speaker 1: with championship on it I want, whereas Dak was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not touching, almost like an NHL kind of vibe.
Speaker 1: I want to touch it. I don't want it. I
Speaker 1: want bigger things. I'm just we say this a lot
Speaker 1: about certain athletes we cover. I have I'm very fortunate
Speaker 1: and I know you are too, to have a really
Speaker 1: great and strong relationship with Dak, and my CD one
Speaker 1: is obviously developing over the years. But I'm so proud
Speaker 1: of them. I'm so happy for them. They are just
Speaker 1: the good guys in the league. And we say this
Speaker 1: every single time we cover Dak on our crew, just
Speaker 1: he's so wonderful, he's so likable. There was a gentleman
Speaker 1: in the military that was off to the side during
Speaker 1: our pregame and he had his two kids and one
Speaker 1: of his son had a DOC jersey on but a
Speaker 1: commander's scarf, and I walked over and I thanked this
Speaker 1: gentleman for his service, and then I said, wow, you're
Speaker 1: conflicted over there, and he goes, we're huge Cowboy fans.
Speaker 1: We're dying right now, but we are friends with somebody
Speaker 1: on the Commanders. And I said, hold on a second,
Speaker 1: and I saw Dak running and I just grabbed him
Speaker 1: and I said, please come say hi to this kid.
Speaker 2: This is preaking week eighteen. Dak stopped.
Speaker 1: He thanked the gentleman for his service. He took a
Speaker 1: picture with the kids, like it's just I'm so grateful
Speaker 1: to be able to work with these guys, to watch
Speaker 1: their career, you know, with an awesome seat, and be
Speaker 1: able to interview them, love those two, happy for them.
Speaker 2: That's really sweet. It's also really sweet of you to
Speaker 2: do that because that kid will never ever ever forget that.
Speaker 2: And now I can only imagine, like, you know, yes,
Speaker 2: you and Jared, you know have access to people in
Speaker 2: athletes that not a lot of other people do. But like,
Speaker 2: think about whoever Max's favorite player is going to be,
Speaker 2: and like giving him the opportunity to meet that person
Speaker 2: or even talk to them or take a picture, like
Speaker 2: you never get that. I was during the games over
Speaker 2: the weekend, Joe Davis was telling the story that they
Speaker 2: were on a call with Justin Jefferson because they had
Speaker 2: the Minnesota game, and he said, my three year old
Speaker 2: came in the room because Justin Jefferson is his favorite player.
Speaker 2: And he said, he said, Justin Jefferson lit up even
Speaker 2: bigger than my three year old did, just because he
Speaker 2: was so excited that that was his favorite player. And
Speaker 2: he and he was echoing those same sentiments about how
Speaker 2: awesome it is to work in a in a sport
Speaker 2: like this, but with guys like this, And that's the
Speaker 2: part that I always, you know, have to remind myself.
Speaker 2: And when I watch some of these shows and people,
Speaker 2: and I get that they get paid to like analyze,
Speaker 2: but like at some point, I'm like, these are human beings.
Speaker 2: People are saying these things about Jalen where it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, he's a buss and this, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me right now? Like knock it off?
Speaker 2: Like knock it off.
Speaker 1: Like this whole society we live in, it's like build
Speaker 1: people up, to tear them back down, to build them
Speaker 1: back up. And it's like even with Josh Allen the bills,
Speaker 1: and it's like everyone's allowed to have their opinion, of course,
Speaker 1: but I just always take a step back, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's fine to analyze like what happens on the field,
Speaker 1: but like, remember that these are still human beings and
Speaker 1: I just family. I don't know, I can't imagine if like, well, yes,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine.
Speaker 2: We've had people tears down. But anyways, back to the
Speaker 2: originally scheduled program.
Speaker 1: Just be nice, nice opinion, but just remember how it
Speaker 1: comes a and on the other side of it.
Speaker 2: Last one, Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 1: We had him come on, we were on shot at
Speaker 1: him and I texted you right after and it's just
Speaker 1: like this guy has played with so many quarterbacks. He
Speaker 1: continues to put the numbers up. Have you know the
Speaker 1: success he's had and just sit there and answer the
Speaker 1: questions and be the spokesperson for the team. And he's
Speaker 1: so lovely. And I said to him, and I know
Speaker 1: you'll love this. You know, everybody's like, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for your time, like we appreciate it.
Speaker 2: And he's like, no problem.
Speaker 1: And I said, Terry, when you get where you're going
Speaker 1: to go, whether it's Super Bowl weekend or when you
Speaker 1: first get your taste of the playoffs, you have to
Speaker 1: know everybody in the national media is going to be
Speaker 1: cheering for you like they were with that you like
Speaker 1: they were you know, because it's like he's one of
Speaker 1: the good guys and we just want him to win
Speaker 1: and get his due. And I want that for him
Speaker 1: so much absolutely. I mean it's not I remember doing
Speaker 1: a sit down with him for NFL films this past
Speaker 1: offseason and I can't remember now if it was he's
Speaker 1: played with or caught a pass from twelve different or
Speaker 1: thirteen different things, and it's like, you know, at some
Speaker 1: point but still to have the humility that he has,
Speaker 1: but as well as the like positive outlook when that's
Speaker 1: what I mean. They rewarded him with a big contract
Speaker 1: because he's a leader and you know that turnover. Now,
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera getting let go in Washington, be interested to
Speaker 1: see what happens there, very able getting let go in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, just this constant I don't know,
Speaker 1: it keeps us interested and it's why we have jobs.
Speaker 2: But I just yeah, it's worth highlighting the good.
Speaker 1: Ones, all right, sister so and the pre game, which
Speaker 1: you guys are always great and send in questions. I
Speaker 1: had alluded to my Jennifer Lawrence love So the Golden
Speaker 1: Globes happened on Monday. I didn't watch any of it
Speaker 1: because where was I.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: They were Sunday, right, Sunday, Yeah, Sunday games to watch,
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're doing that.
Speaker 2: But I have always loved Jennifer Lawrence. Been working in Oh,
Speaker 2: I was, I was flying, I was flying Vegas And yeah,
Speaker 2: there was the Bill's Dolphins game on which, by the way,
Speaker 2: that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later or maybe not. AnyWho, stay
Speaker 1: on topic.
Speaker 2: Carissa, Jennifer Lawrence was always one of my favorite people
Speaker 2: to interview because she's just like the ultimate girls girls.
Speaker 2: She doesn't take herself too seriously, and you know that
Speaker 2: moment that she fell up on stage while walking to
Speaker 2: receive her oscar like just instantly endears her to anyone where.
Speaker 2: It's like, here's the highest honor she can get. And
Speaker 2: it's like she's like joking about being like tipsy and
Speaker 2: falling so her on the red carpet talking about the
Speaker 2: Salt Lake Housewives.
Speaker 1: So I haven't seen this. I'm halfway through, but noway through.
Speaker 2: Yeah not the.
Speaker 1: Okay, not the last episode, but this season. Okay, so
Speaker 1: fill me in.
Speaker 2: I knew the drama from what's the girl's name that
Speaker 2: that got in trouble with it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what, oh Jen, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on, and I'm not there yet.
Speaker 2: There at you go on.
Speaker 1: The trip, I guess where everything goes down. I'm not
Speaker 1: there yet. Oh okay, So I I knew the girl
Speaker 1: that got arrested, though she's not on the show anymore, right,
Speaker 1: Jen Jen's gone, she's a yeah, she's in jail.
Speaker 2: Yes, but apparently it was a wild okay, so I
Speaker 2: need to watch that. And then Jennifer Lawrence also looked stunning.
Speaker 2: We were talking about is that hair real? Is it
Speaker 2: not real? It looked real. I mean it was glistening.
Speaker 2: But also I noticed this natural makeup situation gorgeous. Kylie
Speaker 2: Jenner also didn't look like she had a lot of
Speaker 2: makeup on the no makeup makeup looked really really pretty,
Speaker 2: really pretty. I know. And that's where it's like, I
Speaker 2: can't do the no makeup makeup thing. It's not you can.
Speaker 2: I can't. Where it's like I need to. I mean,
Speaker 2: look at these eyebrows, but I need to figure out
Speaker 2: how that Like you're like effortless, just like doing it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I was really makeup, Like it's the
Speaker 2: no makeup makeup like when you see makeup artists, they're like,
Speaker 2: this is how you get the look, and it's seventy
Speaker 2: five different things and you're like, what, yeah, how are
Speaker 2: we doing that? But yeah, she was a highlight for me.
Speaker 2: I just love that woman. She doesn't care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's verylf, she's hilarious, like she's I would love,
Speaker 1: I'll say this honestly to have her behavior, her attitude,
Speaker 1: and I feel like we are close to that and
Speaker 1: not hear from other people like shut up.
Speaker 2: We're allowed to ourselves. You know. There was someone yesterday
Speaker 2: that was like, I I think you're just you know, authentic,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, dude, good, well that's I'm
Speaker 2: glad you like that. Yeah. No, it is a fine
Speaker 2: line with being yourself. But then also the problem is
Speaker 2: that we have employers, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 2: there comes a point where I think, like the most
Speaker 2: free people are the people that already have the money,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Yeah, But okay. We also
Speaker 2: talked in the pregame about little Macaroon teething, So if
Speaker 2: anyone out there didn't hear the pre game and hear
Speaker 2: my irritation. Aaron needs some tips on teething. Are we
Speaker 2: putting the things like in the freezer and things are
Speaker 2: in the freezer? Oh, I don't think you know this.
Speaker 2: We started. Oh yeah, I sent you the video oatmeal avocado,
Speaker 2: But you told me that he was onto solids and
Speaker 2: that makes me very sad that he's already growing up.
Speaker 2: He's fifteen years old. In these elphas that you send,
Speaker 2: he looks so freaking cute.
Speaker 1: They have this cool little kind it looks like a
Speaker 1: lot like almost like a ring pop, but the what
Speaker 1: would be like the ring is kind of like a spongy,
Speaker 1: meshy kind of thing that you put the avocado in
Speaker 1: and you freeze it. So he's like sucking on it
Speaker 1: and helping his you know, gums and then making these
Speaker 1: weird moaning noises while he's doing it.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, as long as you're not crying, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it's wow, it's hard, man.
Speaker 1: I I think I had told you this, and talking
Speaker 1: to Charlotte Jones about being a mom and feeling guilty
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and she just her great, great
Speaker 1: advice about it. And then actually week eighteen, she was
Speaker 1: on the field with her son, and I said, oh,
Speaker 1: is this your son you were telling me about you
Speaker 1: had so much guilt about, and she goes, yes, and
Speaker 1: now he calls me every single day, so it's very sweet.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I feel guilty because I get home
Speaker 1: and I see him and I'm like, hey, what's happen
Speaker 1: He says like, ah, throwing back to the nanny.
Speaker 2: Are No, You're doing great. I text you the other nights.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about you, just like walking through the
Speaker 2: airport where I feel like she lappen at the end
Speaker 2: of you know, the end of the line here, and
Speaker 2: we are so grateful. I hate that I even have
Speaker 2: to do a disclaimer. I'm not complaining. We love our jobs,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. But you just get to a point
Speaker 2: where you're like, all right, like we're running the marathon
Speaker 2: and we're on mile twenty four and like anyways, but
Speaker 2: don't even have a child at home, Like that's another
Speaker 2: Like this is your first season of having a human
Speaker 2: and balancing that, and you've been very honest and transparent
Speaker 2: as you always are with like that process. So I'm
Speaker 2: just proud of you, because that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 2: A girlfriend Okay, so another thing that I wanted to
Speaker 2: just vent about. Because this is a safe space on
Speaker 2: our podcast or our calm Down Family, I feel like
Speaker 2: this will induce some feedback from our listeners and viewers
Speaker 2: anyone else get really annoyed when people because we live
Speaker 2: in the era of people always have their phones and
Speaker 2: emails and this and that. If you don't respond back
Speaker 2: to an email within five frickin' seconds, I get another one.
Speaker 1: Just bumping this up to the top of your inbox
Speaker 1: for an pin in this friendly reminder, just circling back. Hey,
Speaker 1: why don't you circle around somewhere else because you sent
Speaker 1: the email five minutes ago.
Speaker 2: I don't have to answer this. I'm going to put
Speaker 2: people on a twenty four hour response probation. You're not
Speaker 2: getting a response from me for at least twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: And you know what I don't need. I don't need
Speaker 2: you going hello on a text message when I don't
Speaker 2: respond to you, goodbye is the response that I want
Speaker 2: to give you after that. This idea that we have
Speaker 2: to immediately respond to anything unless it has to do
Speaker 2: with the health of your child or my dogs or anything.
Speaker 2: I'm not responding back immediately and don't say it's a
Speaker 2: friendly reminder because it doesn't sound friendly at all, So
Speaker 2: knock it off. That's my rant for the week.
Speaker 1: Nudgeanya, I hate this is terrible the old here, I'll
Speaker 1: read it. I just got a text that sounds like this, Hey,
Speaker 1: let me know when you have time today or tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I have no time. I have no time. There's no time.
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 2: Was another one.
Speaker 1: I talked to one of our bosses about this when
Speaker 1: people reached out over the holidays and was like, are
Speaker 1: you working?
Speaker 2: Are you insane? You know what I do for? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Let me remind you how this is going. Am I working?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I just didn't think you'd work over the holidays. Huh,
Speaker 2: wake up America.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I just that's the stuff where I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I know it's dumb shit to complain about, but like, no,
Speaker 2: knock get off with the friendly reminders.
Speaker 1: This is a friendly reminder. I'm getting a real kick
Speaker 1: out of you heard me. Some of these entertainment magazines, tabloids,
Speaker 1: whatever I follow and all things always go back to
Speaker 1: Travis and Taylor when they were like, Travis will not
Speaker 1: be going to the Golden Globes. Here's why Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: will not be playing Week eighteen with open eyes.
Speaker 2: Hey guys, so this is called football.
Speaker 1: Travis doesn't have to play Week eighteen, and here's why.
Speaker 1: And here's also why he.
Speaker 2: Won't be going to the Golden Globes. He has a
Speaker 2: thing called a job.
Speaker 1: Okay, and they're playing I get the biggest kick, and
Speaker 1: it takes everything out of me just.
Speaker 2: Not to be like whoa Okay, pull the phone. To
Speaker 2: your point, everything does come back to them because we
Speaker 2: love them, but not even just them, the Jennifer Anderson's
Speaker 2: of the world who has been you know, look, oh,
Speaker 2: I feel so bad for We don't feel bad for them,
Speaker 2: that's not my point. But I can can not imagine
Speaker 2: her strolling through the grocery store and seeing yet another
Speaker 2: headline about her on the front of Alone exactly like
Speaker 2: here we go said, it's like my god, this workirl,
Speaker 2: or like you know, Travis and Taylor engaged, question mark,
Speaker 2: You're like, give it a minute, everyone. I can't imagine
Speaker 2: if I, well, I do want them engaged, but you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying where it's like like or or
Speaker 2: the whole thing of like when it was her birthday
Speaker 2: and like getting a ring, like do you he bought?
Speaker 2: Got it? Whatever it is. I'm just like, this is
Speaker 2: why I can't work in entertainment full time anymore, because
Speaker 2: it's I would just look at Mario at some points
Speaker 2: and be like, I can't read this is a joke, right,
Speaker 2: Like I can't actually pretend that I care about this,
Speaker 2: and he's like, yeah, I get it. But I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: it takes a certain person to have that like thing.
Speaker 2: And that was not melt. Do you get a kick
Speaker 2: out of some people? And I've been around certain people that.
Speaker 1: Really believe what is you know on the shows and
Speaker 1: what the clickbait the headlines or you know in front
Speaker 1: of the magazines is Bible. It's like unreal. I was
Speaker 1: at a dinner. It was an older woman and I'm older,
Speaker 1: and she just said something like She's never been happier,
Speaker 1: Taylor's never been happy. I was like, did you too
Speaker 1: right where you're like wait a minute.
Speaker 2: I love how people know.
Speaker 1: And then I was like she was talking about something,
Speaker 1: the poor fan that passed away at her concert, and
Speaker 1: she said she is just beside herself. And I was like,
Speaker 1: do you have a dread? No?
Speaker 2: But he said it. I was like well, there you go.
Speaker 2: But it is funny. Oh yeah, I do. That's too good.
Speaker 2: It's too good. Okay, so what else step it?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: When do you? You have a busy week. You're gonna
Speaker 2: head to Dallas earlier this week than normal.
Speaker 1: I said, Dallas on Thursday. I'm gonna sit down with
Speaker 1: cutie Ce d Lamb. He may or may not have
Speaker 1: had a big year. I'm excited to talk to him.
Speaker 1: That'll be great and then big night in the d
Speaker 1: I'll be looking for our houses.
Speaker 2: You mean somebody else wants to move there now? I
Speaker 2: mean I have a conundrum. Oh I have a I
Speaker 2: have a real problem. So I want to move to Dallas.
Speaker 2: I thought with you too, No, we are, but I
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need a moment.
Speaker 1: There's very few things in my life now, there's very
Speaker 1: few things in my life that I will brag about.
Speaker 1: But it happened again, Aaron, I got Delta three sixty.
Speaker 1: I don't know how, and I'm sorry. I think I
Speaker 1: got Delta three Yeah. In Delta three sixty, yeah, I
Speaker 1: got death. Well, sounds like you're better, right, better, be
Speaker 1: better more than anymore. I got Delta three sixty again.
Speaker 2: I think because like I'm so passionate about them, and
Speaker 2: ed Bastian like knows that. So my conundrum is I
Speaker 2: can't move to Dallas because that's an American hub and
Speaker 2: my loyalty to Delta. I love love Fly is Delta.
Speaker 2: Oh thank god. Well then fine, I could move to
Speaker 2: Dallas because with my it'll be closer to where we
Speaker 2: live too. Oh my god, well I love this. This
Speaker 2: is great crisis a verdant because I was. This is
Speaker 2: Jordan love.
Speaker 1: These are the things when I don't when you don't
Speaker 1: have a child, the things that keep you up at
Speaker 1: night are I can't move to Dallas because it's American
Speaker 1: and I need to stay on Delta. Yeah, oh no,
Speaker 1: I slept on a here wait for it. People will
Speaker 1: call me, you know, just stuck up or whatever on
Speaker 1: a non lay flat on American because I want the
Speaker 1: loyalty points. But I'm going to call American. Actually sweet.
Speaker 1: I forgot her name. She is adorable. She listens to
Speaker 1: calm down all the time she's with American. I want
Speaker 1: to ask, I got enough loyalty points for the full
Speaker 1: year of the membership, but it's not letting me click on.
Speaker 1: I think her name is alease A lease, Elise, I
Speaker 1: have a question a news. Why can't I get the
Speaker 1: full membership? I haven I have over four hundred thousand
Speaker 1: loyalty points. I don't know, but on the year. But
Speaker 1: this thing got to brag. Well, no, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: bragging about three to sixty. And Peter's trigger who flies
Speaker 1: every week as well. It was like I didn't even
Speaker 1: know about three sixty. But then I got upstaged by
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson. He's not only a Delta three sixty, he's
Speaker 1: a million miler and on his little screens his three
Speaker 1: sixty and million mile and I was like, I've got
Speaker 1: work to do. I've got I'm a million miler on Delta,
Speaker 1: Like I'll tell you what I have right now.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna tell you right now, Miller an a
Speaker 2: marriage can say goodbye to a lease because your loyalty
Speaker 2: can't be to both places. Okay, you gotta choose. And
Speaker 2: these are the hard decisions you're going to have to
Speaker 2: make in life. I know.
Speaker 1: But since you work a Dallas game every other day,
Speaker 1: looks like you're gonna have to start flying out of love, sister.
Speaker 2: Okay. In the words of maxtell Ah, it's a game changer, though,
Speaker 2: when are you traveling enough? But the loyalty program is
Speaker 2: so crazy. Steve got on a flight the other day
Speaker 2: because he was like a certain number away from getting
Speaker 2: the next like level. He flew to Dallas, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: to just get it.
Speaker 1: And then Jillian was telling me about a friend of
Speaker 1: hers that had to fly to Ball like literally fly
Speaker 1: to BALLI to get the mileage. Like it's highly competitive
Speaker 1: out there, you know it is. The industry are crazy.
Speaker 1: The guys are crazy.
Speaker 2: That Alaska flight, oh my god, thank god, they were okay. Gods,
Speaker 2: when I saw that, I was like, how, by the
Speaker 2: grace of God, how was no one. I don't wear
Speaker 2: my seatbelt ever on an airplane, which maybe that's what
Speaker 2: you have to, but after seeing that, I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to ever take my seatbelt off. I know.
Speaker 1: And here's another thing. Bob Jason, there's a reason for that.
Speaker 1: He's the one that flies. He's from Seattle. If we
Speaker 1: have a game in San France, he'll fly to New
Speaker 1: York then to just to get the miles. But he
Speaker 1: was saying we were talking because he flies Alaska because
Speaker 1: of obviously Seattle. He was saying, you need to start
Speaker 1: wearing your seatbelt because if you drop, if you hit
Speaker 1: like some sort of win situation or a jet streamer.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if that's accurate. If you drop,
Speaker 2: you could hit your head. It holds you in this seat.
Speaker 2: You got to buy two seatbelt. It's gonna be better
Speaker 2: about that. I can't. I I'm not going to tell
Speaker 2: you I'm gonna do it all the time. I'm not.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like how many days smashing your head?
Speaker 2: They sayed concussion protocol.
Speaker 1: I was just beside myself when I saw that, uh
Speaker 1: situation of that door fly off, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Hey, I had a disruptive passenger on
Speaker 1: my plane, and you know what. Shout out to American
Speaker 1: Airlines and the pilot and the flight attendant. This was
Speaker 1: the words that came out of her mouth. I have
Speaker 1: zero tolerance right now. Good good for you, get off,
Speaker 1: get off, get off. Well we've said she this woman ran,
Speaker 1: She went down the jetway.
Speaker 2: She didn't care. They were like, ma'am, you can only
Speaker 2: have two bags. She had three.
Speaker 1: She bypassed the I have a gate agent. She ran
Speaker 1: down the jetway and then she ran down the aisle.
Speaker 1: Tom Rinaldi said out loud. Where did she think she
Speaker 1: was going or getting? Like, there's the future, not the
Speaker 1: getaway car. Yeah, this is the thing that kills me,
Speaker 1: the entitlement of people.
Speaker 2: And look, I get it. Okay, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: pretend that I've never done anything in my life that
Speaker 2: thinks that, like, oh, you know, the rules don't apply
Speaker 2: it me? Okay, do I speed every now and then? Sure?
Speaker 2: I do? Okay whatever, I'm not like a rule like
Speaker 2: I follow every rule. But what gets me is this
Speaker 2: idea that you're above the like requirement. So why do
Speaker 2: you get to bring three backs? So what part did
Speaker 2: you miss about this? Like everyone else is following along
Speaker 2: and following the rules, and it's like then you got
Speaker 2: to have that one person that's like it's just as
Speaker 2: simple as what. So justify or tell me why the
Speaker 2: rules don't apply to you. I would love to hear
Speaker 2: why you think that you're special. It just gets me.
Speaker 2: Now you're making it harder for everyone else and to
Speaker 2: you four flight attendant or stewart or whatever doing their job,
Speaker 2: just doing their job. Man, I give it to them.
Speaker 2: I'm like, and you've said it before, and I love this,
Speaker 2: Like they're not you're waitress in the sty they're not there.
Speaker 2: They're there for your safety. Number one, and then second
Speaker 2: to that is and I get like, when you pay
Speaker 2: a premium and you sit in first class, there is
Speaker 2: certain treatment that you should get because you're paying more money.
Speaker 2: Like I love when a flight attendant asked me, would
Speaker 2: you like a drink before we take off? Like that's
Speaker 2: a perk of me in first first class, Like that's fine,
Speaker 2: but like if that's not an option, you don't need
Speaker 2: to get mad at these people, like they're just trying
Speaker 2: to do their jobs. I don't know, people are crazy.
Speaker 1: I feel like when you say please or thank you
Speaker 1: to a flight attendant, their face lights up because most
Speaker 1: people treat them like dog shit. I've sat next to
Speaker 1: passengers all the time that are like of a coke
Speaker 1: say please, And not only these, there's times where like
Speaker 1: they'll write a handwritten note or like a cute little
Speaker 1: chocolate and then I'll see someone go like this and
Speaker 1: just put it and I'm like, okay, so I always
Speaker 1: take it with me, That's what I'm saying. I'm like,
Speaker 1: so wait if I that poor flight attendant who took
Speaker 1: the time to write that, which first of all handwritten
Speaker 1: notes on any in any capacity is incredible. And now
Speaker 1: she's going to have to clean up the note that
Speaker 1: she just took the time or he just wrote the
Speaker 1: time to write. Knock it off Delta three sixty Forever.
Speaker 2: An American, Come on a lease, Proud to be in America.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, by the way, we have a follow up
Speaker 1: to remember last week, I didn't really understand the text
Speaker 1: that I sent you. Yes, yes, I was drinking. That
Speaker 1: is accurate. I remembered exactly what was happening.
Speaker 2: Were not to love Run Dinner and Minus too.
Speaker 1: We were at a lovely dinner and our friend was
Speaker 1: talking about his wife, trying to pull it up and
Speaker 1: he was just saying, what an amazing person she is.
Speaker 1: They run a business together, Clerky Jeremy Clark. He works
Speaker 1: for the Los Angeles Kings. He's adorable.
Speaker 2: He was talking about his wife Jen and I was like,
Speaker 2: you love your wife so much, like you just the
Speaker 2: way you talk about her. He goes, I do, I do?
Speaker 1: He goes, I just have a mature recognition for the
Speaker 1: person like that's in my house and in my life
Speaker 1: and helping me run my business. And I said, I
Speaker 1: am writing that line down and talking about it on
Speaker 1: the podcast.
Speaker 2: It's so sweet.
Speaker 1: We have a mature recognition for the person in my house,
Speaker 1: the person helping me run my business.
Speaker 2: And my life.
Speaker 1: I can't Jeremy Clark, Jeremy Shaping lives and should do
Speaker 1: a Ted talk on you know, like we have great
Speaker 1: men in our lives.
Speaker 2: We are very lucky. But I said to the other day,
Speaker 2: because he opened my door, said, how about you do
Speaker 2: that every time? Like, wouldn't that be sweet if, like
Speaker 2: every single time you got in the car like that,
Speaker 2: your husband opened the door for you. I don't know,
Speaker 2: it doesn't take much. Now I need to start thinking
Speaker 2: of some sweet things too. I'm pretty good about leaving notes.
Speaker 2: Your husband is so nice and thoughtful. Yeah, but he's
Speaker 2: not perfect. I mean, like Steve can work on a
Speaker 2: few things. I mean, we all can. I need to
Speaker 2: recognize the mature recognition of the person that's in my house. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I would like too. So sweet. I really love that.
Speaker 2: I really love when you hear men or women just
Speaker 2: like a door, like they just adore they're human. All right,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start adoring you, Steve. I'll try I.
Speaker 1: Door me.
Speaker 2: Remember that song was that color me?
Speaker 1: Bad.
