Speaker 1: There's something eating our pumpkins outside, and then Jared goes

Speaker 1: in real life.
Speaker 2: Even last night we both were sitting down watching the game.
Speaker 2: Is still voice noting.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sometimes that's like more fun, though in
Speaker 1: a way it's like because then you just get the snippets.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess we could be an well, we do have
Speaker 1: a conversation every week together on a podcast for an hour.

Speaker 2: Like sometimes it's just something. It's a dream. She's a tree,
Speaker 2: real tree. I'll tell you what's a treat.
Speaker 1: Also in our voice notes, our husbands are like, oh god,
Speaker 1: well Steve's not Butcher's like, oh, what are we doing?
Speaker 1: And then always has to offer insight or tidbits in
Speaker 1: the background. And then so Steve in the background, Hey,
Speaker 1: you want to get on, That's exactly. And I was like,
Speaker 1: you didn't want to say anything, but now you want
Speaker 1: to say everything when I'm in the middle of leaving

Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 1: Everyone, here we go, pregame, dousarian, plain decorum, say hello

Speaker 1: but I don't want to bother you, but like I
Speaker 1: know you're there, like give a little wink, yeah, kind
Speaker 1: of a stang.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it depends on who it is. But I
Speaker 1: think he wations sometimes and not I'm not doing that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it depends on my mood, my skin condition. Oh,
Speaker 1: if I got a real rageer going on on the
Speaker 1: lower half of the face, I'm probabrobably not making any
Speaker 1: sort of valutations or not salute. But you know, I
Speaker 1: really could go into the whole errand thing if it's somebody.
Speaker 1: It's like a huge fan. You're amazing. I'm obsessed. Have
Speaker 1: a great flight whatever, you know. It just depends on
Speaker 1: it depends getting condition. Who's the most famous person up
Speaker 1: set or been on a plane with. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think we've done this right. Belahadid Bella Hadid said next door.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to think, like, if there's anyone else.

Speaker 1: the Big show. Jess Porter thirteen. I need your opinion.

Speaker 1: I'm gonna barf no wains no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: Did you say no points? No forget the point out,
Speaker 2: just no voints. I like that first of all, smell
Speaker 2: of nail polish alone. Love it.
Speaker 1: No, what do you what it's so good? No it doesn't.
Speaker 1: That's like you're gonna get high. I like the smell
Speaker 1: of like sharpie markers and then that's like another thing.
Speaker 1: It's like well, like when you're like thirteen, like gasoline pens.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, what about gasoline. I'm into it.
Speaker 1: I don't like when the gasoline gets on the hand
Speaker 1: and that you're not getting that fife. You gotta like
Speaker 1: carefully like take it out of the thing so we're
Speaker 1: dripping or yeah, uh yeah, you're not allowed to do anything.
Speaker 2: With your nails on.
Speaker 1: No gasolina, she's on a roll. I uh no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. And also doctors waiting rooms. What are we doing, Jess,
Speaker 1: you know, smudge, you're gonna smudge. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: for her. I think it's for other people better. I
Speaker 1: don't know Jess border, but I feel like she's better
Speaker 1: than this. Absolutely no, keep the nails to the salon
Speaker 1: or at home.
Speaker 2: We are looking at a faux nix Tan. I hope
Speaker 2: that's the name.
Speaker 1: Boyfriend wants me to move in without getting married first,
Speaker 1: but together two years.
Speaker 2: Thoughts yes, yes, yes, yes, but two years I've already
Speaker 2: been together.
Speaker 1: You might not want to marry him after you move
Speaker 1: in with him. There's a lot of things. I got
Speaker 1: into it with Steve this morning. I got a whole Also,
Speaker 1: this is classic Steve. He goes, you want me to
Speaker 1: pick a fight with you tonight so you have something
Speaker 1: to talk about on the podcast tomorrow.
Speaker 2: That's what he said. He said, that's funny. I got,
Speaker 2: it's really funny.
Speaker 1: What he goes, Well, if you're looking for some material,
Speaker 1: I can really rev things up around here.
Speaker 2: I go, No, we don't need to rev things up
Speaker 2: around here. I'll tell you. I'll tell you what I know.
Speaker 2: I swear to God.
Speaker 1: Well, i'd like to rep up my engine, but my
Speaker 1: car's destroyed. We'll talk about that on the big show.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, though, the the guy, I've got a
Speaker 1: real issue. You got to make the bed every single morning.
Speaker 1: And I know when I'm gone for Thursday night football,
Speaker 1: you don't want to my the bed. When I'm not here,
Speaker 1: that's no problem, go for it. But when I'm here,
Speaker 1: we need to make the bed. So this morning, I said, hey,
Speaker 1: you're going to make that bet. He goes, not if
Speaker 1: you talk to me like that, we're not going to
Speaker 1: make the bed. And I was like, look, we can't
Speaker 1: be living in dumpville. We got to make the bed
Speaker 1: every morning. We got to be up and Adam and
Speaker 1: you know, come on, we got chores around here, some phil.
Speaker 1: My point is phone nextan is if your boyfriend has
Speaker 1: weird idiosyncrasies, are different things that he does that you
Speaker 1: don't know about because you haven't lived together, you got
Speaker 1: to work through that. As my father always says, I
Speaker 1: didn't adhere to this advice. Clearly have the divorce before
Speaker 1: the wedding. So it's like you work through all the
Speaker 1: negative things now. Of course invariably everything will you know,
Speaker 1: things come up when you're married anyways, But I really
Speaker 1: believe in living together before you get married.
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 1: And make your bed every day. But you've been together
Speaker 1: for two years. Oh yeah, this one's putting a time
Speaker 1: round thing.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what doesn't work. I don't like timers.
Speaker 1: Timers like, hey, what are we doing here?
Speaker 2: What are we? When are we getting married? Are we
Speaker 2: doing this? Not me? On the other way? Okay, you
Speaker 2: really are?
Speaker 1: Then every day he's got to be like God, I
Speaker 1: got to keep working to keeper you know what I.
Speaker 2: Mean by this is crazy? Yeah? You better. You might
Speaker 2: have left those pillows. Okay, let's get going.
Speaker 1: Steve so much, he's not going anywhere and if he does,
Speaker 1: I'm going with him. You heard me, you would everyone else.
Speaker 1: Everyone else is off my train if I get rid
Speaker 1: of that guy.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding at all.
Speaker 1: Bob Popovich, what is something fans never see but you
Speaker 1: do that is important to your job each week?
Speaker 2: What a great question.
Speaker 1: That is a good question, Bob. That's a great question.
Speaker 1: If I had a baby, I would want to name
Speaker 1: it Bob. I wonder, is that not the cutest. This
Speaker 1: is my baby, Bob, Bobby, Bobino. There's so many things
Speaker 1: I would love that I might just have a kid
Speaker 1: just to name it Bob.
Speaker 2: Good Bob with me. I jump on in the playpen.
Speaker 1: It's fun, Water's warm.
Speaker 2: What a great question.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me think about this because I want to
Speaker 1: be mindful with my response. I mean, homework is always
Speaker 1: number one, right, Like I said, I don't think people
Speaker 1: realize how much and then you don't end up using
Speaker 1: not only any of it, but it's just important to have. Also,
Speaker 1: let's think about this call. Yeah, well, yeah, explain a
Speaker 1: little bit about that for you, because you have that
Speaker 1: I don't have those.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Well, we we get on the phone with usually the coach,
Speaker 1: the coordinator, and the quarterback or star defensive player, some
Speaker 1: thing like that. So I just find them. Look, we
Speaker 1: can be on the field for pregame. We can quickly
Speaker 1: talk to them, but we're not breaking it down, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know when you go up against this, what do
Speaker 1: you think it like? No, it's usually like salutations. I
Speaker 1: usually make some asshole joke and you know, get the
Speaker 1: guy going and like then it's like all fun and
Speaker 1: games that or he walks away and he's like this,
Speaker 1: this part is nuts. It says to pr Hey, her,
Speaker 1: never again, don't let me talk to her. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. The prep is just but that's something
Speaker 1: you guys already know. I'm trying to think of what else?
Speaker 2: What else? What else? What else?
Speaker 1: Besides the prep? I have found it really really necessary
Speaker 1: for me. And you do this too, you watch clips
Speaker 1: of the games. I find it really necessary to watch
Speaker 1: a good most of the game that the team I'm
Speaker 1: covering played the week before. I just feel better, like
Speaker 1: I don't want to jump into it cold and kind
Speaker 1: of I can read about the game, but I actually
Speaker 1: kind of want to see it, see the vibe of
Speaker 1: what the announcers are saying. So that's a new bit
Speaker 1: of anxiety I've put on my plate this year. Yeah, okay, good, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: already overflowing up. Sure. I also, I would say production
Speaker 1: meetings are big we have for Amazon. At least, we
Speaker 1: have a production meeting with all of us on Monday
Speaker 1: in the morning to kind of recap the weekends games
Speaker 1: and then talk specifically about the game we have. So
Speaker 1: like this week, we've got the Broncos and the Saints.
Speaker 1: Both of those teams lost this past week, so sort
Speaker 1: of like the issues from those two games, so yeah,
Speaker 1: call them nine to thirties. Sort of gives the producers
Speaker 1: an idea of where we want to go storyline wise,
Speaker 1: so they can pull footage and clips and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And then for us, we also have a production meaning
Speaker 1: the day of the game, so Thursday morning. And then
Speaker 1: that's also fun too because you just like get a
Speaker 1: better idea game time of what's happening. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. If there's anything else, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'll think about it. But Bob, great question. I just
Speaker 1: thought of one. So tomorrow I'm going to get on
Speaker 1: the phone with Mahomes. I'm also going to speak to
Speaker 1: dream Hunt this week and who at Chris Jones great Superstars.
Speaker 1: We have a set of guys. One is a guy
Speaker 1: that gives Kevin and I and TV a lot of
Speaker 1: stats during the game.
Speaker 2: Jarrett.
Speaker 1: You know Jarrett, you work with them play and then
Speaker 1: also we have the guys that make our graphics up
Speaker 1: what you see on television with the visuals, the numbers,
Speaker 1: like all the stats. I send a mask text. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna send a mass text out to them later and say, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm getting Mahomes, Jones and Hunt this week on the phone.
Speaker 1: If you have anything that you know are going to
Speaker 1: be elements in the game, let me know so when
Speaker 1: you put them up there, I can add, I can add,
Speaker 1: I can add. I talked to Mahomes this week. He
Speaker 1: said this about this, this and this. So that's something
Speaker 1: that I do kind of get the and it also
Speaker 1: like it pays off what I do, but it pays
Speaker 1: off what those guys do in the truck too. They
Speaker 1: work so hard all week preparing different graphics hoping that
Speaker 1: the announcers touch on them. So if I can do that,
Speaker 1: you know, it just really helps the team. No, that
Speaker 1: is a really good point, and I love that because
Speaker 1: it is there's synergy. I was even saying this one
Speaker 1: and this is a side, but when there's a flow
Speaker 1: to it, even when I do like a highlight into
Speaker 1: a game, and I get it because it disrupts the
Speaker 1: flow of sometimes if your guys' games, depending on what's
Speaker 1: going on going down and then you having to do
Speaker 1: a highlight. I was so curious what your vibe in
Speaker 1: mood was going to be in and out of that,
Speaker 1: because that is so touchy. Well it is touchy because
Speaker 1: of course the severity of that ngurine. You don't know
Speaker 1: that being said, it wasn't like right up against it,
Speaker 1: so it's and to be honest, it was like we
Speaker 1: didn't really even have a highlight, but like we want
Speaker 1: to get away from the game exactly. So that's interesting.
Speaker 1: But oh, just paying off a highlight. Kevin will do
Speaker 1: this a lot, so will Kenny Albert. He's so good
Speaker 1: at it where it's like, oh, you know, if I
Speaker 1: taken like a Vikings highlight into the game, it's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: the Saints will see the Vikings next week, and you
Speaker 1: know the NFC North, isn't it amazing?
Speaker 2: Like there is It's such.
Speaker 1: A good point for you to highlight, like just you
Speaker 1: don't even realize like all of the different elements of
Speaker 1: games or things that are going on and to be
Speaker 1: able to bring them together. Bob, did that answer your question?
Speaker 1: And that's all the time we have for today?
Speaker 2: Be you Threads.
Speaker 1: As a mom going back to family nurse practitioner school,
Speaker 1: stressed to miss out on my one and two year
Speaker 1: old growing up? How do you handle it? Aaron need
Speaker 1: all the advice? Oh well, first of all, good for
Speaker 1: you for going back. Yeah you're I'll go and nurse
Speaker 1: practitioners go. Wow, that's probably a huge undertaking with the
Speaker 1: littles at home.
Speaker 2: How do you handle it all? Girlfriend?
Speaker 1: I don't I call her at son I cry and
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been the most negative friend this month.
Speaker 1: It's been really hard because I am missing a lot.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I love what I do.
Speaker 1: I know when Mackie Babes understands what I do, he
Speaker 1: will love it as well. I am in constant contact
Speaker 1: and facetiming. I'm making the nanny, I'm making Jared send
Speaker 1: me photos. It's the little things like last night I
Speaker 1: landed at six race to the race home, got there
Speaker 1: in time for you know, bedtime and story reading and
Speaker 1: wanted to go wake him up this morning. So it's
Speaker 1: hard though, because I got a lot of shit I
Speaker 1: got to do this week, and I also want to
Speaker 1: spend time with Mac and it's like I am having
Speaker 1: such a hard time balancing this. I called curse to
Speaker 1: this past weekend, this past week, and I just said,
Speaker 1: I can't get things done that I need and I
Speaker 1: don't know how to do it. And I feel like
Speaker 1: I am at this point where I'm just like drowning.
Speaker 1: But then at the same time, you know, Chris is
Speaker 1: really good at this. I need to get myself a break.
Speaker 1: I miss my best friend a lot. I miss her husband, boyfriend.
Speaker 1: I want to spend time with them, like I was.
Speaker 1: I woke up today and I was like, I miss
Speaker 1: my friends, like I need that time right now too.
Speaker 2: So it's a fucking lot, man, it's so hard.
Speaker 1: I don't have any idea what you guys are going through,
Speaker 1: because obviously I don't have children, but that guilt where
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I want to be with them. But
Speaker 1: I always think about our own situations as kids, like
Speaker 1: do we remember we don't remember when we're little, about
Speaker 1: like when our parents were there and not you know
Speaker 1: love you know, like I always reference this, but like
Speaker 1: I know my parents work ethic and like those are
Speaker 1: the things that like MAC will appreciate, not like oh
Speaker 1: you weren't there everything, And also too like for you
Speaker 1: with the question about the nurse practitioner, like your kids
Speaker 1: are going to be so proud of the fact that.
Speaker 2: Like you're going back to school.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great example for them to see
Speaker 1: that you can and this idea of like, oh, do
Speaker 1: it all. You don't have to be perfect in doing
Speaker 1: it all. You're going to fail in some of the areas,
Speaker 1: but the attempt to try to in the pie chart
Speaker 1: of your life, like some of that also has to
Speaker 1: be for you, Like you're going back to work because
Speaker 1: you obviously are passionate about being a nurse and like
Speaker 1: or want to provide for your family, Like I think
Speaker 1: you need to give yourself some grace you too. I'm
Speaker 1: saying this to you, Aaron, like you don't want to
Speaker 1: have to give up your career just because you have
Speaker 1: a child, and like you can try to balance it all.
Speaker 1: So for anyone out there that's doing it, I give
Speaker 1: you guys a ton of credit because it doesn't look.
Speaker 2: Easy, but keep going.
Speaker 1: Nick. Watching Kyle br Brandt right now on Angry Runs,
Speaker 1: I don't know how he doesn't blow the energy. Mac
Speaker 1: is watching him today eating pancakes like that's Uncle Kyle.
Speaker 1: He's crazy, But I love Angry Runs so much. Okay,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Laura, I'm actually glad you wrote this in because
