Speaker 1: middle name, and then it's.
Speaker 2: Like Roger Jared's grandfather. Do we do both?
Speaker 1: Like it's already a lot, So I thought that would
Speaker 1: be a lot to ask to do Mac Roger Sabin
Speaker 1: stole and kind of unfair for Jarrett. But oh well,
Speaker 1: there's always baby number two. Do we want to explain
Speaker 1: where the name Mac came from? Yeah? Yeah, So we

Speaker 2: I had said, Jarrett, we need to be creative.
Speaker 1: Betty is so cute Jack and nothing against anyone named
Speaker 1: the name Jack's fantastic right and what was my top notch?
Speaker 1: But then we have a little cute cut twelve year

Speaker 1: to a little trip in the Bahamas and her father

Speaker 1: did you hear what his name is? And he said
Speaker 1: I did, and I said, well, let me tell you
Speaker 1: the story behind it, and he just loved it. And

Speaker 1: Oh next, Jeff Boyard twenty four, Is I like so good?
Speaker 1: One worst date you've been on, Carrissa Jean Thompson, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think we talked about it once.
Speaker 1: But the guy cried the first time we hung out
Speaker 1: when we're at a movie theater and it was a
Speaker 1: movie and he started crying. But let me think about
Speaker 1: another worst date I've ever been on.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing gives people that are sober. But I
Speaker 1: met a guy out and he ended up being a
Speaker 1: pretty well known actor in a TV show later on,
Speaker 1: like ten years after I went out with him and
Speaker 1: I met him. These were my New York days.
Speaker 2: And I met him out on a date and.
Speaker 1: It was like an afternoon date and it was like
Speaker 1: a perfect New York day where it's like everybody was
Speaker 1: out drinking and he was sober, and all my girlfriends
Speaker 1: were out drinking at the time, and I was I
Speaker 1: had to make a reason why I had to leave. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's tough because you feel bad and like as you're
Speaker 1: ordering another Yeah, did you order any drinks? No? Because
Speaker 1: we ended up just hanging out at his place and
Speaker 1: I was like, no, this is I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I okay, well this.
Speaker 1: Is I'm going no, no, no, sober, it's shorter. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, now Jack, please, no, we're kidding. We like
Speaker 1: people that are shorter sober, I do.
Speaker 2: I though.
Speaker 1: My dad and my brother are both sober. And I
Speaker 1: said to them a time, I go, you're not as
Speaker 1: fun when you don't drink, and they're like, okay, think
Speaker 1: that's enough out of you. They're like, hey, how about
Speaker 1: you put the bottle down? Psycho?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Anonymous? Oh remember we love you can see the anonymously.
Speaker 1: How do you keep the spark alive in a long
Speaker 1: term relationship? Well? I don't really have many of those.
Speaker 1: So let's go to the gal who's been married five years?
Speaker 2: Now? Are we five? Or seven?
Speaker 1: Six?
Speaker 2: Seven? Sure? Right? Where's that smart? Does anyone have a
Speaker 2: match around here? I don't know? I mean seveny oh? Yeah,
Speaker 2: we haven't married six years?
Speaker 1: Because I said to jareded a lot of people get
Speaker 1: divorced during their seven year itch, seven year itch, which
Speaker 1: I don't like that itch thing.
Speaker 2: What does that mean? I get it?
Speaker 1: Like you know, what do you call it a bee
Speaker 1: in your bonnet? Or like something be in my bonnet?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I always I don't know. We we try to be
Speaker 1: good with communication. I don't know how we keep this far.
Speaker 1: It's not like I feel like we're lacking a spark,
Speaker 1: but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I got his staff. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what Steve is trying to do to keep the
Speaker 2: spark alive. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: I got a calendar invite for a date night. Oh
Speaker 1: what's it in a calendar?
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I know that is very sweet. Anyways, Okay, okay, I
Speaker 1: haven't I haven't replied yet. I haven't accepted these. You
Speaker 1: haven't priced excepted. It's still in the inbox. It hasn't
Speaker 1: been moved into the calendar portion of the program.
Speaker 2: How do you keep the spark a live? I'll say this.
Speaker 1: I'll speak on the relationship that has lasted the longest
Speaker 1: in my life, not me personally, because we know those
Speaker 1: don't last. My parents, my dad insisted, maybe this one
Speaker 1: with Steve will last because he does exactly what my
Speaker 1: dad did. Insisted on a date night every week with
Speaker 1: my mother. I mean from the earliest memory I have
Speaker 1: of my parents. He would always, and they had no money.
Speaker 1: He would take her to the movies and they would
Speaker 1: make popcorn ahead of time, and she'd sneak it in
Speaker 1: her purse because they didn't want to have to buy
Speaker 1: popcorn because they had no money. Because he always would say,
Speaker 1: you kids will come and go, but she will be here.
Speaker 1: So he made here the priority. So I think, as
Speaker 1: someone who's trying to have healthy relationships, I think making
Speaker 1: your spouse a priority is good and a little sexed time,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because I don't want a roommate.
Speaker 1: I gotta gotta jazz it up every now and then.
Speaker 1: All right, next one, girlfriend, you're up, Miss britt Morgan.
Speaker 2: It's fall.
Speaker 1: What are your things about? Or what are your things?
Speaker 1: How about I read? What are your thoughts on all
Speaker 1: things pumpkin? I am not a pumpkin spice girl. I
Speaker 1: like my house smelling like pumpkins. I want to hire
Speaker 1: someone to decorate my house to be a little fall
Speaker 1: and fabulous. But yeah, I'm not a pumpkin in my coffee,
Speaker 1: pumpkin in my tea. I just don't pumpkin it up.
Speaker 1: I get grossed out really easily. What are you grossed
Speaker 1: out by? I just sweet things? Oh right, right right,
Speaker 1: I'm the opposite. I don't like sweet. I never like
Speaker 1: I'd like a black iced coffee all day, every day.
Speaker 1: But guess what I did on my way home prior
Speaker 1: to our podcast. I stopped by Dunkin Donuts because they
Speaker 1: have pumpkins.
Speaker 2: The one by my house. I wish it was the
Speaker 2: one by my house. I didn't have time or else
Speaker 2: I would have swung on by walk home by.
Speaker 1: So this is a pumpkin iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts
Speaker 1: and I love it. I am running on Duncan today.
Speaker 1: I love anything pumpkin. I will crush pumpkin muffins all day,
Speaker 1: every day. In fact, for the Big Show, I have
Speaker 1: a fun story about George Kittle, Fred Warner and pumpkin loaf.
Speaker 1: That's a tease in the biz. You don't love anything pumpkin, right,
Speaker 1: I yeah, I sure not have of that. It is
Speaker 1: a weird word, but yes, anything pumpkin from me. In fact,
Speaker 1: the best pumpkin muffin I've ever had is from Bristol Farms. Ooh,
Speaker 1: do what you want with that?
Speaker 2: I like your smoothies after my pilans clams. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: you're so la.
Speaker 1: We have got multiple submissions, that's the name, or is
Speaker 1: that actually multiple submissions? Ryan, our wonderful podcast producer who's
Speaker 1: also wearing a Calm Down T shirt.
Speaker 2: I'm wearing the mug.
Speaker 1: I'm going to update the gear because I think it's
Speaker 1: time for us, like we're cool, We're funky. We've been
Speaker 1: around one hundred thousand followers. I love you guys, Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. I think it's adorable and I'm not like
Speaker 1: the goal like give a shit about followers because half
Speaker 1: the time people buy followers.
Speaker 2: But you guys are so sweet. We love you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the ones? All right, multiple submissions. I digress,
Speaker 1: getting a late start, but finally pursuing my dream to
Speaker 1: work in sports broadcasting. Best advice and tips, Aaron, You're
Speaker 1: up first. You know what. I think we spoke for
Speaker 1: a quick five minutes today because that's all our calendars
Speaker 1: would allow. But I think the way we've gone about it,
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of.
Speaker 2: We worked our asses off.
Speaker 1: I was talking to somebody about this the other day, actually, somebody,
Speaker 1: uh yeah, on my at my gate in the industry
Speaker 1: that when we were going to Detroit this weekend, Chris
Speaker 1: and I worked our asses off. We still work our
Speaker 1: asses off. My girl is working really hard right now,
Speaker 1: doing two games a week, like that's a lot.
Speaker 2: Shows a week, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: But I will I would never take anything back about
Speaker 1: the fact that I put my career ahead of everything.
Speaker 1: I didn't get married to late, obviously, didn't have a
Speaker 1: baby till late. Because now we are in this point
Speaker 1: in our career that we're having fun. It's crazy to say,
Speaker 1: at forty five, I feel like I'm finally showing my
Speaker 1: real self on air. It's nuts that it's taken this long.
Speaker 1: But look, we're in a male dominated industry that there's
Speaker 1: a lot of scrutiny, there's a lot of people, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of naysayers. There's only a couple of these
Speaker 1: jobs available. And to feel comfortable in your skin, to
Speaker 1: have to be in a network with a network that
Speaker 1: you feel like allows you to do that says a
Speaker 1: lot as well. So I would just say, work your
Speaker 1: ass off as hard as you can, and then when
Speaker 1: you're old and disheveled and covering your gray hairs with
Speaker 1: your orange hair, that's when you can start having fun.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: a big cheffer now to the Big Show because Aaron
Speaker 1: said that last week and it made me laugh. But show,
Speaker 1: this is a conversation I'd like to elaborate on because
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of an epiphany for both
Speaker 1: of us this week as it pertains to this idea
Speaker 1: of being ourselves. So sure we put a pin in that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I would say for me and I try
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: I hate this word. Let's take it easy.
Speaker 1: You're not some role model, Caissa, but I do try
Speaker 1: to mentor young girls in the industry that ask for
Speaker 1: help because here's my thing. Ask I'm happy to help you.
Speaker 1: There were people that helped me, but I always my
Speaker 1: biggest piece of advice for them is always be yourself.
Speaker 1: You could like, yeah, you can try to like there's
Speaker 1: certain I mean, there's certain things that yeah, you can,
Speaker 1: you know, perfect your craft, but be authentic, be different.
Speaker 1: The things that will make you stand out are not
Speaker 1: being like everyone else. So don't try to conform to
Speaker 1: what you think you're supposed to be on television. And
Speaker 1: then also just be humble and be hard working, work
Speaker 1: your ass off and know, like, for my thing is,
Speaker 1: you're not bigger than Rowe. You know thirty two B, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: and you're not picking a rental car and having to
Speaker 1: pick up your You're not gonna always have car service.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna always have first class. We didn't get
Speaker 1: that till fifteen years into our profession. There was a
Speaker 1: lot of times I'm paying out of pocket for cab
Speaker 1: rides for all I had to do it in Detroit
Speaker 1: today or last week. Actually, don't be bigger than something,
Speaker 1: and remember that when you get hopefully to where you
Speaker 1: want to be, that it's okay to go back to
Speaker 1: that or take the cap, or sit and row thirty
Speaker 1: two B because guess what, there's someone waiting to take
Speaker 1: your job. So be humble, hard working and have fun.
Speaker 2: Be authentic. Did everyone get all that?
Speaker 1: And thank you for joining us here on this ted time? Okay?
Speaker 1: Now wait, Mara Connor, yep, sorry, I crucified that one.
Speaker 2: Mar and Karta my Ana Conna.
Speaker 1: Don't want nothing you'll never wear during games at heels,
Speaker 1: I got to walk around. I can't do it. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Dropless BRA's hard too. There's a lot of movement. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be pulling it up during the game
Speaker 1: and it doesn't fall. Yeah, it's terrible. Third and four, well,
Speaker 1: this thing is third to my knees. Geez, it's third
Speaker 1: and a long way down the torso is what it is?
Speaker 2: No, this strapless bras are terrible.
Speaker 1: And then the problem with the stick ones, which I
Speaker 1: do love, because we've talked about this.
Speaker 2: Four we start sweating.
Speaker 1: Now one's off and the other one's hanging on by
Speaker 1: the last little morsel. You heard me, morsel, That's the
Speaker 1: what I were saying of like the stickiness as we
Speaker 1: talked about last week. Man, just don't just don't wear
Speaker 1: one any who things I never wear by covering a game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean here's my other thing too. My outfits in
Speaker 1: studio can be different than being at a game. But
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this, Ladies out there sometimes and
Speaker 1: I've had my moments where I'm like, am I coming
Speaker 1: in from the club. But I gotta tell you you guys,
Speaker 1: don't be distract I want to hear what people are saying.
Speaker 1: If you were wearing outfits that are just crazy or
Speaker 1: I think that you're doing a walk of shame, now
Speaker 1: you're what I'm talking about not the actual game itself.
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying you can't be an individual, but
Speaker 1: let's not just, you know, be an eye sore. Okay,
Speaker 1: listen off the shoulder, like the whole, Like, what are
Speaker 1: we doing here? You can't show bulls shoulders, maybe one shoulder.
Speaker 1: I had a top one time. Remember when I did
Speaker 1: that interview with two a tongue of Iiloa last year
Speaker 1: because I was going through it and it was all
Speaker 1: I had in my closet in the Nashville thing. And
Speaker 1: I went into this interview. I looked like, I looked
Speaker 1: so trashy. I looked like a dick. Okay, I was
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about right now. And maybe it's
Speaker 1: the forty one year old in me saying this, but
Speaker 1: some of you ladies that I see on television, you're
Speaker 1: getting crazy. Okay, this is still a place of employment.
Speaker 1: Let's all remember that. Okay, this is bottom motherly advice, bottom.
Speaker 1: And I don't want this to be perceived as though
Speaker 1: you guys can buy these.
Speaker 2: Clothes or this, this and this.
Speaker 1: No, but I share clothes, so we can. We do
Speaker 1: share clothes. Actually, for the record, we share clothes. But
Speaker 1: keep it simple. Stupid, Like that's what I always think, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to go crazy with some
Speaker 1: like nutty Mickey outfit. We're a fantastic blazer and we're
Speaker 1: like a cute T shirt under it and a gene No,
Speaker 1: not a gen. Don't worry, don't work crazy, No, don't
Speaker 1: don't warrant t shirt that has writing on it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be like WHOA, Actually, okay, this is
Speaker 1: for the big show too. You know what dues and
Speaker 1: dones have outphits? What not to Wear? Is that show
Speaker 1: still on TLC? Because I have a lot of things
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't be wearing. Oh, looks like we're all
Speaker 1: out of time. Join us next week for our thoughts
Speaker 1: on the industry and because you're getting crazy out there,
Speaker 1: get crazy. Oh my god, I don't see anybody I'm working.
