So 37 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: thanks to again, Mercedes, this is not an ad Uh. 38 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: They give me this incredible opportunity to go there, And 39 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: when they told me he was performing, I was like, 40 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: last year I got Lionel, this year I get Jason 41 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: al Dean. Uh. It was awesome. And then I did 42 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: a Q and A with Joe Montana and Conda Lisa 43 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: Rice was also there. She told this incredible story about 44 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: how she got into playing golf because she was always 45 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: in the basement of the White House when she was 46 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: Secretary of State and working all the time. She never 47 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: got to be outside. She never got fresh air, and 48 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: so she took up the game of golf, which, by 49 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: the way, listening to her makes me want to go 50 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: back to school and get a master's, a PhD. And 51 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: start reading more books. It's so impressive to listen to 52 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: her on so many levels. But she was saying that 53 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: she would go out to Andrew's Air Force Base because 54 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: they had three golf courses there apparently, and she didn't 55 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: have to have security detail there because you're on a 56 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: military base. So she's like, if I she goes, which 57 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: I did many times, drive the ball into the woods, 58 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: I could go in and find the ball without having security. 59 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: So it was her place in sanctuary and freedom that 60 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: she got. So it was interesting to listen to her story. 61 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: So a lot of fun memories and good times. But 62 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: again going back to the etiquette of the masters, you 63 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: can't have your phone, so you and I not talking 64 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: to each other for four days.

I mean, these are these guys go 172 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: out and they play and they beat their bodies up, 173 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: but like, it's cool that we all have each other 174 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: and we have the memories. It's it's hard seeing your husband, 175 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: which mine is just a little broken up. You know, 176 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: it's like his person, his buddy's gone. So it was 177 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: very sweet, but very cool as a sports fan to 178 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: watch them sit around and kind of break it all down. 179 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: It was knee I love it. We love sports for 180 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: a reason. Um, whether it's someone you know moving on 181 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: in their career and going to another team, or obviously 182 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: we've seen the news as various NFL players have either 183 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: announced retirement or leaving the sport. Julian Edelman, we love you. 184 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: The juxtaposition of that was watching will Zalatorus yesterday and 185 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: the story was with Will if if you guys heard it, 186 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it was on the broadcast, because 187 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: Jim Nance was talking about it early on in the 188 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: week about how working with Tony Romo in the booth. 189 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: Tony Romo is a very good golfer. In fact, like 190 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: played in a pro am with will Zalatorus and he 191 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: told Jim, he said, this kid is going to win 192 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: a major in the next couple of years. And Jim goes, 193 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: what's his name. Jim had no idea who he was, 194 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: and he goes so he looks him up and Jim goes, hey, Tony, 195 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: he's ranked two thousand in the world. And he was like, 196 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: what me. He goes, I'm telling you, man, this kid 197 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: is going to win a major in the next couple 198 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: of years. And sure enough, he was in contention all 199 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: the way up until the eighteenth and when Hudeki had 200 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: missed that putt, and I was like, oh my gosh, 201 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: this might go to a tiebreaker. And of course, congratulations 202 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: to Hudeki for pulling it out, but only by one 203 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: stroke before they had to go to additional play there. 204 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's gonna be fun to watch this kid. 205 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: And I was like, obsessed. I think it's his girlfriend. 206 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I was watching her. She was traveling 207 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: on every hole and I spotted her early and she 208 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: you know, because there's not a lot of people there, 209 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: so you can see, like who's going to each hole, 210 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: and she like, again, I don't want to make assumptions, 211 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: maybe it's not his girlfriend, but there was a girl 212 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: who was very invested and she was so sweet and 213 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: you could just see she was nervous and the whole thing. 214 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: So that really cute. But I I'm excited to see 215 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: And I loved his his post round interview where you know, 216 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: he had said at the beginning of the tournament, I'm 217 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: just young enough and dumb enough not to know that 218 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to be here, so maybe I'm young 219 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: and dumb enough to win it. Uh, And so then 220 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: he was talking about how this is just the beginning 221 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: for him, so it's exciting to see the youth in 222 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: the game and also for Hideki. Yeah, oh my god. 223 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: I was invested the end, the last shot of him 224 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: walking up to the clubhouse and the tears in his 225 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: eyes and then the caddy bowing stop it. I'm all in. 226 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: I'm all in. And what that means for the growth 227 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: of the game is a game that they've been trying 228 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: to grow for a long time. I mean, you know, 229 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: in most recent years, because the interest isn't always there 230 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: in various regions around the world. So to see the 231 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: game grow and the impact that Hideki's win will have 232 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: in Japan and internationally will be interesting and fun to watch. 233 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: So one of the announcers on the coverage and and 234 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: that's what popps. You know, I'm not the biggest golf 235 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: kind of gal. My husband's obsessed obviously, but they said 236 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: him winning would be like Michael Jordan's status for him 237 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: in Japan. So I was like, resonate, got it, Phil, 238 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: You Yeah, it was really awesome to watch and uh 239 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: a fun thing to be a part of. We've got 240 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: an amazing show we do, and I'm really excited. We 241 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: have a wonderful opportunity now that you've got me on 242 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: cameo to talk to various fans and answer questions, and 243 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: so we decided why not open that up to uh 244 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: one of our some of our wonderful listeners. And that's 245 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: our very own Michael Yeager, who didn't mute his computer 246 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna actually tell him to do that. There 247 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: he goes technical difficulty. I assumed it was me. Um, 248 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: But we've got a great show coming up. We are 249 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: lucky enough to have people listen to our podcast. Oh 250 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: I have I buried the lead. So I'm like hurrying 251 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: back to leave the course to get on our production 252 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: call since we're not allowed to have phones on set, right, 253 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: so I had to leave the course snow phones allowed 254 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: the whole thing. But as I'm sprinting out off the course, 255 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: this sweet little old man who was in a green jacket, 256 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: so he was a member. You love the podcast? I mean, 257 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: stop it right now, my you think it was, I don't. 258 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through a member list and I hope 259 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: they have some headshots because I'll be able to come 260 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: out of a line couples. My dad was the well 261 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: wasn't a golfer. It was just a member, So I mean, 262 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: I wish I thought it was like a champion and 263 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: master's champion. Tiger came back, put on the jacket and 264 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: said love the podcast and went back home. You know, 265 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: how's he feeling?

So. 283 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: I am a weekend sports anchor and reporter at a 284 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: little television station in Louisiana. It's my first job out 285 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: of college in three so about a year and a 286 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: half into it and just kind of, you know, finding 287 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: what work like balances apparently that's pretty important. I love 288 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: that you start well, first of all, I gotta know 289 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: are you doing one man banding over there or you 290 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: weigh ahead of the game on that, because that was 291 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: the worst I mean, getting it in focus. White balance 292 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: always forgot that damn white balance. For those of you 293 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: that are listening, what she means is you have to 294 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: be your own producer, cameraman, audio person, and reporter. That's 295 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: a one man band a j. You're clearly doing that. 296 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: Good for you, Thank you. But yeah, I guess it's 297 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: the big question that I said so I don't get 298 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: in trouble, is, um, how do you balance being a 299 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: go getter and being available to your boss without you know, 300 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: lacking rest or burning out. Really, if I'll be honest 301 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: with you, and this is probably not the correct politically 302 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: correct thing to say, it's your first job, you said, 303 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: your very first one out of college. You can rest later. 304 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this is like the time I hate to 305 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: say it. For me, it would just be balls to 306 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: the wall. It just really really would. It's just you've 307 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: got plenty of time later on in your life to 308 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: get those these be available for anything, because you know what, 309 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to come your way. Say 310 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: someone six, say someone's on vacation and oh they need 311 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: you to go cover the top story in the A block. 312 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: Maybe you're already doing that, but just with your first gig, 313 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: your second gig. Shoot, I'm forty three and I don't 314 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: know what gig this is for me, but chriss And 315 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: knows this. When our boss, when Fox calls, we drop 316 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: it all. Now listen, you know later on in your life, 317 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: when you have your family, your husband, there's something really 318 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: important in your life, Yes, you should, you know, probably 319 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: be like this takes precedent, but right now this is 320 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: such a cutthroat competitive industry. I would just be available, 321 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: but make sure you get your sleep when you can. 322 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, hey, I have a list 323 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: in case anybody asked what my advice was for you. 324 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: Number four on the list says, say yes, figure out 325 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: the rest later. And the reason I say that is 326 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: because right before we came on, I got a call 327 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: from our executive producer for our NFL show and he 328 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: asked me to do something completely unrelated to football. Uh 329 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: And he said, what are you doing on May one? 330 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: I have a birthday trip planned on May first, But 331 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: I didn't tell him that. I said nothing. What do 332 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: you need And I said yes, and I'll figure out 333 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: the rest later. And I'm a hundred years old and 334 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: been doing this luckily for a long enough time, but 335 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: say yes and figure out the rest later. I know 336 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: you'll be tired and all of the things, but if 337 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: you love this job enough, you'll figure it out and 338 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: they won't forget that you made the adjust mints and 339 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: the time will come for them to give you a break. 340 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: And that's why there's botox by the way, for those 341 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: wrinkles and under black eye. I mean, shoot it up 342 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: later on in your life. I just don't do too 343 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: much because I also made that mistake and my dad said, whoa, 344 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: you're looking like a cat.

So my first question is 363 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: for miss Aaron specifically, and I am also a dancer, 364 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: and I also know that you grew up a d answer, 365 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: so I want to know kind of how you felt 366 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: dancing might have helped you with your career or even 367 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: with your confidence in the world of broadcasting. Well, funny 368 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: you should mention that, Molly, I have my pom poms 369 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: right here. Oh yeah, they don't leave me, Molly. You 370 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: know you always hold on to those puppies. Um. It's 371 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: an interesting question because I started dancing early in my 372 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: life and then obviously did it through college. But it's 373 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: kind of like you're on when you know it's them 374 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: to be on, and Cursa can attest to this. Listen, 375 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: if you're having a bad day, you know you got 376 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: bad news at home, somebody's sick, fight with your husband, 377 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: your girlfriend's going through something, crappy, text message just comes 378 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: through and they're like five four three, welcome back there 379 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: you are. I mean, it's just you have to put 380 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: it all aside, right, And that's the same kind of 381 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: thing with dance competitions. My sister and I used to 382 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: always joke we'd be like beating the crap out of 383 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: each other. I want the hair brush, now you want 384 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: the hairbrush, and five since in seven and eight, So 385 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: it's like you know when to turn it on, right, Yeah, 386 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: for sure. So my other question is what was a 387 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: moment in your career that you felt like really took 388 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: you to the next level, like a very pivotal moment 389 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: for you. Yeah. Mine was I had just been let 390 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: go by TBS and Turner, and I knew that the 391 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: NHL team that I had covered as my first job 392 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: out of college was going to make it to the 393 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: Stanley Cup playoffs. And so it worked really hard reaching 394 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: out to ESPN and just said, hey, give me, you know, 395 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: a try out kind of for your Stanley Cup playoff coverage, 396 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: and they did. I had a three month try out. 397 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: I was so excited. I took three flights and a 398 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: drive to get from Calgary to Tampa to cover the 399 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: Stanley Cup. You know finals, which my team was in, 400 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: which was so freaking awesome. I was so excited. I 401 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: lost ten to fifteen pounds, which was also great, But no, 402 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: I mean I afterwards, the doctor was like, are you okay? 403 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, I just covered the Stanley 404 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: Cup finals, um, and my and my team that I 405 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: you know, started my career with one it, which was awesome. 406 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: And then I signed a three year deal with the 407 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: ESPN after that and started Saturday night football in college 408 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: game Day, so that really kicked it off for me. 409 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: But I don't think I ever believed, you know, doing 410 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: that Stanley Cup run would kind of propel my career 411 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: and my journey throughout all this. It was freaking awesome, 412 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: and uh, I loved every minute of it. And it's 413 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: always on sometimes, you know, on the NHL Network. And 414 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm wearing this fabulous lime green and Taylor top for 415 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: the game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals. It's a winner, 416 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: that was your top alfit at the point. Again, Mom, 417 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't born then when Anne Taylor with your own 418 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, I haven't been doing Aunt Taylor Molly.

You better work, bitch. 451 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: I'll take this. I mean I think you have to 452 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: kind of read the room and know your place. I 453 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: mean I was thinking about, like if I marched into 454 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: the room and I was like, you listen up, Joe Buck, 455 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: you listen up. Troy Aikman, maybe not the approach you 456 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: want to take. I mean, look, if I feel like 457 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: I need to be heard and there's a point i'd 458 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: like them to help, you know, listen to or get 459 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: help with, they will. But also, Troy Aikman's got three 460 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: Super Bowls, you know, Joe Box Hall of Fame broadcaster, 461 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: he's been doing this forever, so they do hear me 462 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: when I need to. Now, I when I first saw 463 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: your question, I will tell you I read it wrong 464 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: because I was like, no, no, no, I am assertive. 465 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: I am not so much with my team because again, 466 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: if if there's something I need to say and I 467 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: want to be listened to, they will. I just I 468 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: want to make sure they're taken care of. You just 469 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: read the room. You don't want to march in Because Chris, 470 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: I'll say this and and this is point blank. If 471 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: your bossy, you'll always be labeled as a bit being 472 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: a female, which sucks, but that's just part of the 473 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: whole gender thing. So I think there's a way to 474 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: really wow. This is like advice for my marriage. There's 475 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: a way to really communicate how you're feeling and what 476 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: you want the boys to hear or the men that 477 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: you work with to hear. Now, the other side, when 478 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: I read this question really fast, I was like, yeah, no, 479 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: I'm assertive. And I don't understand when people don't love 480 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: the job as much as me, or they aren't obsessed 481 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: about it, or they aren't wanting to talk about the 482 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: super Bowl for five hours the day after like Chris 483 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: and I did. That's a totally separate question. We can, 484 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: you know, delete this point out, But yeah, I I 485 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: am assertive, I am very very passionate. But I think 486 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: it's very important with being a female, knowing who you 487 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: work with, reading the room to kind of communicate all 488 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: of that. I agree with you. A lot of those 489 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: points resonate with me. I would say Jessica on the 490 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: pregame show, for example, as the only female on that set. Um, 491 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: I recognize that I am in a unique position, but 492 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: I've been given that position by my boss is because 493 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: they think that I can handle it. And what I 494 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: mean handle it is there's a lot of personalities and 495 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: egos and it's my job to be the quarterback of that. 496 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: And so I don't need to tell all the guys 497 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: how smart I am or how much I know about 498 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: the game, or I don't need to tell the viewer 499 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: how smart I am or how much I know about 500 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: the game. That position has already warranted that. So I 501 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: think that if you remember that you're there because people 502 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: that sign our checks gave you that opportunity, you don't 503 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: need to over emphasize it. Pick your spots, like Aaron said, 504 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: and remember that the experience from Troy or you know Joe, 505 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: even if he hasn't played the game of football, his 506 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: experience in that seat was provided by our bosses. So 507 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: defer to the authorities. But remember your position is authoritative 508 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: in and of itself. Yeah, thank you, ladies. I appreciate it. 509 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: Doesn't help being from Jersey because I have that little 510 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: sassy attitude, No it house. It helps. You gotta throw 511 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: elbows when you want to. And I would just say this, 512 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: give it back to them, but be self deprecating. For example, 513 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: one time on set, you know, I took a job 514 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: at Tony and he said something back like, oh cool extensions. 515 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, thanks for noticing. You can't be offended. 516 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: If you're gonna give it, then you have to take it. 517 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: And I think a big part of that I don't 518 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: want to always equate. This is like a boys club, 519 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: but you are in the locker room that they're used 520 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: to being in it, so they talk in a certain way. 521 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: So be strong enough to be in there, but respectful 522 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: enough that someone's letting you in there because of your 523 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: skill set and your ability not to take things too seriously. Yeah, 524 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: that's a good point. I hope that helpsesome, No, I did, 525 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: thank you so much extensions to by the way, I 526 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: mean I did mention something, maybe some lip cloth, I 527 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: don't know. Thank you Bye, nice meeting you. Thanks for 528 00:25:52,320 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: your question. Hi, how are you? Hi? Thank you for listening, 529 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: and thank you for caring enough to ask a question. 530 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I love the podcast. I feel like 531 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: it's like listening to my two like really cool older 532 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: sisters talk, not too old, just too very useful. You know. 533 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed all the episodes so far, and you 534 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: answered one of my questions too in the last episode. 535 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: So I feel like I'm on fire. Oh love it. 536 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: We'll fire away some more. So my question for you 537 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: guys this time is what is the number one piece 538 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: of career advice that you would give to someone. Well, 539 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked Emily, because I've got five options here. Okay, 540 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: how are you writing it down? Write it down? I 541 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: write everything down? Okay, So I would say this, I'm 542 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: going to give you five and then you can pick 543 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: out which one you think is the best. Alright. My 544 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 1: number one is be willing to do the work for 545 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: the least amount of money, because the money will come 546 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: if you do the work. My next is be kind 547 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,239 Speaker 1: to everyone, and by everyone I mean audio lighting, the 548 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: security guard that works the front desk. Uh. Just because 549 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: you're quote talent doesn't mean you should act like it. 550 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: And you never know where those people are gonna end up, 551 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: So just treat everyone the same. But there's always preconceived 552 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: notions about you now that your talent. Yeah, like, just 553 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: because someone offers to carry your clothes, for you to 554 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 1: carry them yourself, you got two hands, okay, Um, be 555 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: a good be a good teammate. Remember let in broadcasting 556 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 1: you're part of a team. It's not an individual sport. 557 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: So the better teammate you are, the longer people want 558 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: to keep you on the team. Another one is say yes, 559 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: figure out the rest later. In The last I would 560 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: say is listen. So many times, I think early on 561 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: in my career I was worried about what question I 562 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: was going to ask next, and I think it's really 563 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: important to listen to the answer of the original question 564 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: and that might lead to a better second question. So 565 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: do what you want with that. It's um hopefully served 566 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: me well in my career, but I think that we 567 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: continue and I don't want to speak for him, but 568 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: I know she feels this way. Continue to learn and 569 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: always have new advice that's been given to us from 570 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: people that have done this even longer than we have. Yeah, 571 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: those are also good. I don't know how to pick one. Well, 572 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: you don't even have Well, I'll send this to you 573 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: in an email. Perfect. I actually wrote them down because 574 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna get fired now that I 575 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: hadn't been obeying a couple of those. Um. I would 576 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: also add have thick skin. That's something in NHL head 577 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: coach told me when I complained to him about what 578 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: people were writing about me on the blogs back in 579 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: the day. So I really would be your older sister 580 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: or or older friend by saying that word. And then 581 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: study like I. I I didn't even apply myself for study 582 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: this hard in college, got through it in four years. 583 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: My parents were probably gonna kill me if I didn't. 584 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: But if I had applied this much passion maybe to 585 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: my school work, I would have done a little better. 586 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, you just you really really have to study. 587 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: And I would say too, And this is something my 588 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: college professor said, was that you just really we really 589 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: have to love it because you're gonna miss holidays.

Marriage is you know, 592 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: going to be a lot harder. Dating is a lot 593 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: harder when you're in this industry, so you genuinely have 594 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: to love it. I love living out of a suitcase. 595 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing more I love.
