Speaker 1: I'm not good at hiding my emotions with anybody that's fake.
Speaker 1: I can take doses of fake people, but if you
Speaker 1: expect me to be around somebody that is fake, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a problem. I have less tolerance than
Speaker 1: I used to for that. But I also try to
Speaker 1: look at it like this, like ooh, that sucks to
Speaker 1: be them. Calm down with Erin and Carissa is a
Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio. Hey, welcome to the pregame. Everybody, you
Speaker 1: know the drill. If you submit the questions, we try
Speaker 1: to answer them. And Carissa, this one, wait for it,
Speaker 1: I sound like I'm seventy five really stumped us. Oh god.
Speaker 1: The question comes from Blake Johnson at twelve ninety eight,
Speaker 1: and you would think it'd be easy for us to answer.
Speaker 1: But when you've done this job for so long, you've
Speaker 1: interviewed a lot of people, the question is one current
Speaker 1: player you want to interview, but having yet Aaron and
Speaker 1: I were thinking about this. We have obviously been very lucky. Aaron,
Speaker 1: you interview a lot more people than I do because
Speaker 1: you're doing you do NFL films, so you get to
Speaker 1: talk to a lot of guys. Yes, and I love
Speaker 1: that and those are actually some of my favorite things,
Speaker 1: long form interviews. But I'm saying like in all your
Speaker 1: postgame interviews, your production meetings, like you get access to
Speaker 1: all of like a lot of these guys, I would say,
Speaker 1: if I have to say football, this is what I
Speaker 1: like Caleb Williams. My idea here is like you interview
Speaker 1: a rookie in the league, and then you reinterview them
Speaker 1: in five years and you almost pull back up the
Speaker 1: answers to their questions in their rookie season and then
Speaker 1: five years later, like how much they've learned in that
Speaker 1: time span. So someone like him when you talk about
Speaker 1: a current player, but outside of football, I really would
Speaker 1: want to interview a Rinaldo or a Messy And because
Speaker 1: in my limited experience of covering soccer covered one World
Speaker 1: Cup for Yahoo Sports years and years ago. But I
Speaker 1: was blown away by you know, football is our mecca
Speaker 1: here in the NFL, but football on a global scale,
Speaker 1: soccer on a global scale, is insane and I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: And I watched his wife's reality show, What a gal
Speaker 1: she is. I just think it's really fascinating the stardom
Speaker 1: that they have on a global level. So Ronaldo or
Speaker 1: MESSI would be mine outside of American football yours. This
Speaker 1: was hard because, like you said, we get a lot
Speaker 1: of these guys in production meetings. I know that's not
Speaker 1: like a sit down interview that we get to do
Speaker 1: for the Fox pregame show. I've talked to this guy
Speaker 1: a million times, especially when he was the defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: for the San Francisco forty nine ers. I have not
Speaker 1: done a sit down interview ever with him. I'd love
Speaker 1: to talk to Demiko. I know that you just did
Speaker 1: one and you said it was great, Right, Aaron, when
Speaker 1: I tell you, I have never sat and this is
Speaker 1: and I have been very lucky to sit with great
Speaker 1: and this is not a knock on any previous coaches
Speaker 1: that I've sat for players. I have never walked out
Speaker 1: of an interview and wanted to be a better person
Speaker 1: the way that I did with Demiico Ryan's I left there.
Speaker 1: I had to sit there for a second after he
Speaker 1: left the room and be like and look around, and
Speaker 1: I looked at our camera guys and our production car
Speaker 1: I go, does anybody else like feel like they're a
Speaker 1: terrible human and you just want to go back out
Speaker 1: into the world and like action, No because it's just
Speaker 1: he's so infectious and like motivating and every I remember
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman telling me because he had played underneath him
Speaker 1: in San Francisco and it Richard responds very well to
Speaker 1: a positive type of coach, like a Pete Carroll that
Speaker 1: instead of you know, uh, speaking natively like oh, you
Speaker 1: fucked that up, it's like, hey, you did great here,
Speaker 1: but let's work on this area because I think you
Speaker 1: could be better here, and just that like flip of
Speaker 1: the script. Instead of leading with negativity, Demiko leads with
Speaker 1: so much positivity. And I was like, and I can't
Speaker 1: wait actually to see that piece come together for NFL
Speaker 1: Films this season when it airs, I'll make sure to
Speaker 1: let all of our listen to let us know that
Speaker 1: I think you would. You would because sometimes you and
Speaker 1: I will. We definitely vent and we use our friendship
Speaker 1: for a lot of different reasons, but to like keep
Speaker 1: us out of therapy. We just bent to each other.
Speaker 1: And I think when sometimes when you meet those people
Speaker 1: that are so positive, you're like, Okay, I'm going to
Speaker 1: try not to bitch as much, and then I go
Speaker 1: back to but at least minute I'm positive, I will
Speaker 1: say I had a chance a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: to interview the entire offensive line for the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: and the retire what was that from? She was on variations,
Speaker 1: that's hysterical. I would love to sit down again with
Speaker 1: another offensive line group. Yes, that was What is that
Speaker 1: hard for you to do those kinds of interviews? I
Speaker 1: sat down with the offensive line for the Detroit Lions,
Speaker 1: and those guys as you know, like they're just they
Speaker 1: don't love the spotlight like they're they're guys that are just,
Speaker 1: you know, get into the trenches, do our job, and
Speaker 1: so it's like you got to pull stuff out of
Speaker 1: not everyone's like a Trent Williams that is, you know,
Speaker 1: so large and bigger than life. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: sometimes I find those interviews really difficult for me. I
Speaker 1: love them, but they're just hard. It's a good challenge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dwayne Johnson and Jason Kelsey obviously are the talkers in
Speaker 1: that group, but everybody else was so much fun. I
Speaker 1: just remember our photo that I have with those big beauties,
Speaker 1: and it was one of my favorites. Judy Witt underscore
Speaker 1: you heard me, And how do you handle fake people?
Speaker 1: I can't. I have the worst time handling them. I
Speaker 1: am not an actress. I am I'm not good at
Speaker 1: hiding my emotions with anybody that's fake. I can take
Speaker 1: doses of fake people, but if you expect me to
Speaker 1: be around somebody that is fake, it's gonna be a problem. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I don't know. I I have
Speaker 1: less talk learns then I used to for that. But
Speaker 1: I also try to look at it like this, like ooh,
Speaker 1: that sucks to be them, Like I feel bad. I
Speaker 1: don't have life figured out. I got a lot of
Speaker 1: deficiencies that I work on daily. But one thing that
Speaker 1: I do try to pride myself on, and I know
Speaker 1: you're the same way. We almost do it to a fault.
Speaker 1: I know a Constance gets mad at us, which is
Speaker 1: very sweet. She's like, stop self deprecating on everything. But
Speaker 1: we are both very You and I are both very
Speaker 1: self aware. So I think sometimes when I see fake people,
Speaker 1: I almost feel bad for them. I feel bad that
Speaker 1: they are putting on this act and I think about
Speaker 1: how much energy it must take to have this facade
Speaker 1: and to play this character or play this role, and
Speaker 1: they must get home or get in their car after
Speaker 1: they're done performing and be like that's exhausting. I obviously
Speaker 1: sometimes get in trouble for being so real, but I
Speaker 1: think that it is. It's it's a lot less weight
Speaker 1: to carry being authentic. So for fake people, I feel
Speaker 1: bad for you, and I hope that one day you
Speaker 1: can just be who you really want to be. And
Speaker 1: it's very liberating, is what I will say to that.
Speaker 1: I got, oh, yeah, yeah, let's go. Let's go. No no, go,
Speaker 1: go no no. I just when we talked about being
Speaker 1: so self deprecating, I and this is a topic for
Speaker 1: the Big Show, which we've already talked about. I almost
Speaker 1: go out of my way to just cut myself down,
Speaker 1: which isn't a good quality in front of other people
Speaker 1: so they will feel comfortable. And we got to a
Speaker 1: Fourth of July party and I had a massive, massive,
Speaker 1: super duper breakout, used an incredible scrub, have some anxiety
Speaker 1: right now in my life, and wow, it's just like
Speaker 1: you said, tipography and people can see it like there's
Speaker 1: no way they can miss it on my face. But
Speaker 1: I felt the need. When people were like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: good to see you guys. We haven't seen you guys
Speaker 1: since the winter, I was like, yeah, but my zits
Speaker 1: are so excited to see you, like we get it.
Speaker 1: Are everyone in the entire barbecue you heard it, so
Speaker 1: you know. But I feel like it's comfortable for them
Speaker 1: to hear it instead of looking at me and going
Speaker 1: home and being like, what I know, Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But I think that's sometimes. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's all I think. It's also part of your charm
Speaker 1: is that you are so like open about it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if maybe we can we can both
Speaker 1: like be let Yeah we could use some toner maybe
Speaker 1: that don't share the breakout Anonymous. My friends always hijack
Speaker 1: our dinner conversation to talk about their kids. Help you
Speaker 1: take this away, sister, you have a kid. You I'm
Speaker 1: trying really really hard, except for lately I've been really
Speaker 1: My poor dear friend Chris has been hearing a lot
Speaker 1: of shit and life about this, but we try really
Speaker 1: hard not to because we're kind of like, who wants
Speaker 1: to hear about your kid? I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: also too, that has a lot to do with Jared
Speaker 1: and I having kids so late in our life. Now,
Speaker 1: am I guilty of pulling out the photo and sending
Speaker 1: everybody pictures of Mac walking and this in this but yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing that. But I think we're super conscious of
Speaker 1: it because we forever were the ones that were like,
Speaker 1: it's just us. I don't know, what do you think? Ah,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I think about it like that, like you're
Speaker 1: trying to be sensitive maybe to other people that like
Speaker 1: want a kid and don't have one. I think you.
Speaker 1: If anything, I'm the one that has to like ask
Speaker 1: you like cause you're so you don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, what's going on? Or I or I
Speaker 1: asked you, like for more pictures or more videos of
Speaker 1: Mac because I just want to know his every moment.
Speaker 1: I wish I could have like a tracker on. I mean,
Speaker 1: like see what he's doing. But I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think in this particular situation, like if that's all they
Speaker 1: want to talk about, see if you can steer the
Speaker 1: conversation in a different direction, like ask them like yeah,
Speaker 1: like you have to be like, Okay, we don't want
Speaker 1: to go down this lane anymore, so like redirect the
Speaker 1: conversation to things that don't have anything to do with
Speaker 1: their kids, and if they keep going back to it,
Speaker 1: be like Okay, who wants to a drinking game, called
Speaker 1: your kids every time you mentioned them, We're going to
Speaker 1: take a drink. And if they don't get the point,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go to dinner with that man. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, or they're paying Wait, I love his name.
Speaker 1: Going with the flow twenty two. Are you counting the
Speaker 1: days until football season or wishing for more summer days?
Speaker 1: I love your handle on your name. I think it's both.
Speaker 1: I think I'm leaving tomorrow on a red eye to
Speaker 1: go do an interview for NFL Films, and I already
Speaker 1: looked at my calendar for the rest of July and
Speaker 1: it's twenty days of work, which is great. So I
Speaker 1: already feel like I'm kind of back in the swing
Speaker 1: the season, not our normal schedule swing. So yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I do wish I had like one more week to
Speaker 1: just do like I want to. I want to go
Speaker 1: meet you where you're at right now. I want to,
Speaker 1: Like There's other things I want to do and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be able to do them, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish there was a I just wish there was
Speaker 1: more days. But it doesn't mean that I don't want
Speaker 1: to work because I love our job, and I know,
Speaker 1: like even you know, watching TV right now and all
Speaker 1: these like the camps and everything that are going to
Speaker 1: start and ot is all that stuff, Like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a little bit of both. I missed the news coming
Speaker 1: from camps. I wish no offense to the boys. I
Speaker 1: wish they would report and not because I just A'm
Speaker 1: like interested, you know where I am right now, there's
Speaker 1: a couple of football players out here, and so I'm like,
Speaker 1: what's going on? What's new? I also start to get
Speaker 1: super like panic, Like shit, when do I start like
Speaker 1: putting my notes together? Yeah, prepping, But yeah, I missed
Speaker 1: the chatter. Before we got on, I said to Ryan,
Speaker 1: what's new in the sports world? I don't even know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: politics is what's taking center stage right now. Yeah, sure is.
Speaker 2: That's another podcast for another day, not ours, go for it.
Speaker 1: Sister Miranda Cardinal or Carnal, So sorry you guys. Any
Speaker 1: new animals coming to Ruby Ranch? So sweet? We were
Speaker 1: actually just talking about this yesterday. I wish I could
Speaker 1: take all the animals, sweet Tony who takes care of
Speaker 1: the ranch when we're not there. I try to be
Speaker 1: cognizant of not adding more and more animals right now,
Speaker 1: just because she needs additional help. These animals obviously need
Speaker 1: like Pilot needs his medicine every day. Like there's like,
Speaker 1: there's certain things and there are a lot of responsibilities.
Speaker 1: So I'm not currently adding to the roster at Ruby Ranch,
Speaker 1: but I would love to get some sheep. I want
Speaker 1: to get another horse at some point. So yeah, there's
Speaker 1: obviously always plans to increase the tribe there. I just
Speaker 1: have to make sure that I am cognizant of Tony's
Speaker 1: workload and making sure that the other animals don't suffer
Speaker 1: because I'm continuing to add more. But yeah, she where's
Speaker 1: the Oh my god, she killed the snake this morning?
Speaker 1: She sent me a picture. There was a Tony. She
Speaker 1: sent me a picture, So I Steve had to kill
Speaker 1: a snake last time we were there, not this like
Speaker 1: the last time. And it was a massive rattlesnake. She
Speaker 1: sent us a picture this morning, Aaron. It was I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding. This must have been like an eight foot
Speaker 1: long snake. It was so massive, and it's right where
Speaker 1: I feed Oz, like on the side of my house.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking to myself, Oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: like God, I didn't see that snakes. I mean it's inevitable.
Speaker 1: Like it's a ranch, there's gonna be snakes and when
Speaker 1: it's hot out like I was. Dion has a ranch
Speaker 1: in Texas and Sanders and talks about how many rattlesnakes
Speaker 1: there are, y'all this y'all Kelly, Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I would do if, like, I mean, I've seen
Speaker 1: the snakes, but like having to like if I even
Speaker 1: got close enough where I could have been, like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, stepped on it or something like Steve was
Speaker 1: out in his bare feet the other day and I go,
Speaker 1: what is wrong with you? Like if you step on
Speaker 1: like a rattlesnake, a cockroach, like anything, It's over. I
Speaker 1: don't know. You're in the woods. Are there rattlesnakes there? Scary?
Speaker 1: Are we out of the wood? No, we don't have rattlesnakes.
Speaker 1: We saw a baby fox outside our house today. Yoh,
Speaker 1: there's bears. There's a couple of bears which I don't
Speaker 1: want to see. But yeah, did you see that video
Speaker 1: of that mom? Oh yeah, it was on our text chain.

Speaker 1: Phoebe or whatever the kid's name was, and she was like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, it was actually a bear and like grabbed
Speaker 1: the kid and like ran back inside. That is cuckoo.
Speaker 1: There is a lot of like videos because I get
Speaker 1: on like the ring cameras up at the lake house,
Speaker 1: that these bears are like and I feel bad. Did
Speaker 1: you see actually in La there was a bear like
Speaker 1: in a neighborhood park, like in the pool or like
Speaker 1: these poor bears are getting displaced because all of these
Speaker 1: like residential places you know, are like being constructed, and
Speaker 1: it's like displacing these animals. It is very sad. But
Speaker 1: oh my god, a bear. I would That was a
Speaker 1: long answer to this question. No, that's great, h J
Speaker 1: Repo two one. Sorry I'm stealing from you. Ideal Sunday
Speaker 1: morning in the off season. Mine is I can't sleep
Speaker 1: in anymore anyways, cup of coffee sitting outside, Take me
Speaker 1: to brunch and a Salve Blanc or a mimosa. I'm good,

Speaker 1: brunch situation. I also like not having to wake up.
Speaker 1: I mean, you wake up earlier than I do with
Speaker 1: the babes. But yeah, I like that there is an
Speaker 1: alarm like that first Sunday after the season's over, and
Speaker 1: that'll actually going off for a Yeah. No, you know what.
Speaker 1: You know who I think about every time my alarm
Speaker 1: goes off on a Sunday at three thirty AM. Is
Speaker 1: news anchors or the good morning football peeps of the
Speaker 1: world that we love that do a morning show every
Speaker 1: single day. I don't know, do you ever I guess
Speaker 1: we could ask Shregs or Jamie. Do you ever get
Speaker 1: used to that when that alarm goes off? Everything? I
Speaker 1: used to always think I wanted to host a morning show.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not so sure. I mean, look, I know,
Speaker 1: but I want to host it with you. No, I would.
Speaker 1: I would wake up our dream to host like the
Speaker 1: Kelly and whatever version of it is, because that's nine o'clock.
Speaker 1: We're fine there, We've been manifesting that we can do that.
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna be cut. Yeah, that's our Look,
Speaker 1: that's fine. We have we would cross dream jobs, but like,
Speaker 1: it'd be so fun doing a morning show. Can we
Speaker 1: get like a petition. Can people start signing a petition? Again?
Speaker 1: We're in our manifestation. I feel like Fox should have
Speaker 1: us do like a morning at nine o'clock. And I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, Rupert, is that you an tanks, t
Speaker 1: t and ks. So what do you like most about
Speaker 1: your job? What do god? I feel? I guess what
Speaker 1: I like most is that it doesn't feel like a job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like it is something where we can It
Speaker 1: feels a little bit like a job, sure, or the
Speaker 1: three third am thing. But I mean, look, we get
Speaker 1: to hang out. I mean especially you know, we talk
Speaker 1: all the time on our podcast. I'm here on our
Speaker 1: podcast because what else are we talking on right now
Speaker 1: about our guys that we go on the road with
Speaker 1: or in studio with our family. And I just love
Speaker 1: that every time I get to go to quote work
Speaker 1: is with people I love and consider family. It's the
Speaker 1: freaking best And like, the guys in the league are
Speaker 1: awesome and just I don't know, it's a dream job.
Speaker 1: It always has felt that way, agreed. You get the
Speaker 1: best seat in the house to the most talented athletic
Speaker 1: beasts there are in professional sports. You get to see
Speaker 1: it up close and personal. I have like thirty best
Speaker 1: friends on my crew that I love so much. That's
Speaker 1: been really cool about you know, Tom coming to our
Speaker 1: crew is that, you know, I've kind of been saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: so this person is this and he's my work husband,
Speaker 1: and then this person is my other work husband and
Speaker 1: this guy. So that's like it kind of refreshes you
Speaker 1: that I apparently am married to a lot of men,
Speaker 1: but know that, like all these guys are just your
Speaker 1: closest friends. And actually, the other night, somebody said to me, like,
Speaker 1: who's the biggest asshole in the league that you don't
Speaker 1: want to talk to? And I was like, no, And
Speaker 1: everyone is so nice and so inviting and just always
Speaker 1: so cool to me. That I love that about the NFL. Yep,
Speaker 1: it's the best. Is a dream job and that's why
Speaker 1: we are so grateful for it. We got a lot
Speaker 1: to discuss on the million. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: You're right, Okay, you guys we talked about this before.
Speaker 1: We love anonymous questions, but then we have follow ups, right, Like,
Speaker 1: we're just naturally inquisitive about we need more information. So
Speaker 1: we've got our first anonymous follow up from August of
Speaker 1: last year, the anonymous said, kissed my best guy friend.
Speaker 1: Give it a shot or stay friends. We told her, Aaron,
Speaker 1: We told her why not go for it, go for it,
Speaker 1: and the follow up is go for it. We gave
Speaker 1: it a try and then he tore his ACL. I
Speaker 1: attempted to nurse him back to health and ended up fighting.
Speaker 1: We ended up fighting, and he didn't love me taking
Speaker 1: care of him. He wanted to take care of me sweet,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't capable of that. The man was on crutches. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we are back to being besties and closer than ever.
Speaker 1: He moved a few blocks away from me, and we
Speaker 1: are each other's number one supporters. You're going to end
Speaker 1: up back together. I think that's very impressive that you
Speaker 1: could go back to the best friend situation, because I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how physical y'all got, but I feel
Speaker 1: like if you slept together and then you could just
Speaker 1: easily go back to all diss kissed though, what that's it?
Speaker 1: I think she got his best friend, given a shot
Speaker 1: or state friends. I had it in my mind too
Speaker 1: that they got physical. He tore his ACL while being physical.
Speaker 1: I got it. I see what's going on here? No,
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I don't know. I just I think
Speaker 1: that that's very impressive if you can go right back,
Speaker 1: because I feel like once that line's been crossed, you
Speaker 1: like always, even if you don't have the feelings anymore,
Speaker 1: you cross the line and you can undo it. But
Speaker 1: good for you. I think these people are going to
Speaker 1: hook back up. I think they're going to hook back
Speaker 1: up after a couple tequila waters and look, Jerry in
Speaker 1: a lane from Seinfeld. It was like, I want to
Speaker 1: give it a try. They hooked up in the beginning, Okay,
Speaker 1: then they hooked up in the middle again. Oh and
Speaker 1: then like there was apparently the last episode when they
Speaker 1: were going to go down in the plane and I
Speaker 1: think Alane was going to tell Jerry she always loved him,
Speaker 1: but then it ended up. Sorry if I'm spoiling the
Speaker 1: Seinfeld finale, but that was for a while. You're good
Speaker 1: on that one. Don't worry about that. I mean another
Speaker 1: thing H series called urb Your Phusiasm that I don't
Speaker 1: think he's worried about you ruining the ending of Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we have a headline coming up for
Speaker 1: the big show calling saying, embrace those awkward sex talks.
Speaker 1: I feel like you will have a lot to say.
Speaker 1: I'm not awkward about anything. I mean, I think that's
Speaker 1: the problem. If we've learned anything here about me, it's
Speaker 1: that you know I'm an open book. How about when
Speaker 1: I tried to explain the dare to DM at Max's
Speaker 1: birthday party and people were like, you did what? I
Speaker 1: was like, guys, look, you know there's a time and
Speaker 1: a place for everything. That's amazing. And with that, I
Speaker 1: think we're going to say goodbye to everyone because we
Speaker 1: are just coming out of fine and we'll keep this
Speaker 1: going on the big big show. I'll be your eighty seven,
Speaker 1: You'll be my eighty nine. That was so huge. Calm
