26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: number sixty one, we actually met. We were from the

27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: same community. We went to elementary school, middle school, high

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: school together. He played sports with my brother. We've known

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: each other for a very long time. Like how old?

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: How old? How old are we talking? Um, we have

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the same kindergarten teacher, your heart. So I was in kindergarten.

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: He was in first grade, like down the little hallway,

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: so I did not know that. Yeah, so we've been

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: in like his parents' house is less than a mile

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: from my parents' house. Like my mom and his mom

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: have done pta, they've done the pop Warner all that

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: fun stuff. So we've been in the same circles for

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: a long time. Oh my gosh, didn't really see him

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: in that light until about like high school. We got connected.

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: We Um, I guess I probably should but yeah, so

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: were connected. They've been dating since then. And yeah, so

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: now we're here, this is his third season with the Chargers.

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Were very lucky. We're from San Diego so we didn't

44
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: have to go too far. So yeah, and might I

45
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: just add that your dog's name was Charger. Yes, like

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: y'all were, We were fans San Diego Charger fans. Our

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: dog's name was Charger. We loved him the death of course.

48
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: So growing up, Scott was always a Charger fan. Yes,

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: he tells me stories that his family had season tickets

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: and he was in the little pack and play thing

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: in front of his dad's chest at the Charger games

52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: season ticket holders watching Phil as a child and then

53
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: snapping to throw later on literally a dreams. So I

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: don't even think about that. Does he have any like

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: photos of him with like a Charger ones yon, Like

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: I know I would not, Justine, we probably could find one.

57
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: They were big fans. His dad went to the Naval Academy,

58
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: so they have lots of navy stuff. But I bet

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: you we could find one. Oh yeah, okay, And then

60
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: we have Emily. Oh yes, I am old Dan Poenie

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: with the mullets. He is my man. Oh yeah, it's

62
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: a big hunk of mullet. Um, you guys haven't seen

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: Dan Poenie's mullet. You should definitely go and google that

64
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: right now. Just saying we've had words about it, but

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: it's fine, will not cut it, he refuses, But it's okay.

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: Uh more to love right. But no, we met at

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Indiana University. He was um, I actually intern for the

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: football team, so te there a little bit of tea there,

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: but um no, we were really good friends. And then

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: we uh when he left and started training for the

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: combine that kind of thing, and then obviously got drafted

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers. We um realized we didn't want each other

73
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: to ever not be in our lives. And four years later, Yeah,

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: and it's crazy because you were like one of my

75
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: first friends out here. Because for those of you who

76
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: don't know, Dan and Isaac got drafted the same year.

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: And I remember when Isaac got drafted, I was like,

78
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: if I don't want to go to games alone, So

79
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: I started stalking everybody like that got drafted for sure,

80
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: and so I saw Natasha, I saw Emily Rayshawn Jenkins girlfriend,

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: and then I saw you and I was like, she's

82
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: from Indiana. Good time. And then when it was the

83
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: last game of the season. Yu year, we finally connected

84
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: because we were neither of us who were out here,

85
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: and Dan's mom came up to me at a tailgate.

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna love Emily. She likes sitting out home though

87
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: with my teeth. She was like, oh, she's hitting out

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: home right now. But when she's out here, you guys

89
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: will be great friends. Yes, And then we started hanging out,

90
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: and then when we went to London. So that's the

91
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: next season, so we like hung out like sporadically. And

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: then the next season so our second season were Chargers

93
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: yet yes, right, yeah, so then we started getting closer.

94
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: It was like, you mean, Natasha, we're always hanging out,

95
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: going to games, having a good time because guys are

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: on the field, Like what are we gonna do? Right?

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: So um brings me to my first trip. Oh yeah,

98
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: going to London, which was so much fun. But I

99
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: remember and then talking about the Chargers possibly going to London.

100
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember those talks? Oh yeah, it wasn't like

101
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: it was actually gonna happen. And then we were like,

102
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: you know what, they finally booked in everything and we

103
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: were like, you know, let's go, We're going yeah, no, no,

104
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: so we're gonna have this opportunity. We're going exactly. So

105
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: we booked our flights and we're like, uh, we should

106
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: all see in the same hotel, we should all get

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: tickets together. And so we went to London, we did

108
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: some sight seeing together, and then randomly, that's how we

109
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: met Nicholas. So while we're at the London game, we

110
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: go to the game, and then after the game, we're like, well,

111
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: we still want to do some drinking hanging out, and

112
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: we into this random pub pub and out of all

113
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: of them, and out of all of the pubs in London,

114
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: we go into this random pub and we meet Nicolette

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: in the bathroom. In the bathroom and so how how

116
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: many games into the season was that. It was in October,

117
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: so a solid a solid few games. But we hadn't like,

118
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: none of us had met you. Yeah. When I say

119
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: none of us, I mean me and e R. Yeah.

120
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: So we met in London and then we just decided, hey,

121
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: we're all gonna be friends. We're all going to tailgate together.

122
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna sit together and just kind of make a

123
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: little group of friends who go to the games together,

124
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: hang out tailgate and then go home totally. Like when

125
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: I first came to the team, I'm from California, so

126
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: I was like, obviously super great to be close to

127
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: my family. Went to everything with my family. Everyone and

128
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: their mother wanted to come to the games, so I

129
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: always had a fan and a guest and it was awesome.

130
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: But I didn't feel like I had the opportunity to

131
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: meet the other girls. And Emily was super good about

132
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: She met Scottie at hockey game. He was like, oh, like,

133
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: let me connect you with Nicolette and like, I just

134
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: got a random text and I was like nervous and

135
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I was like these girls are established, Like I'm not

136
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: rely sure what I'm getting into. And then we met

137
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: in the pub and I was like overwhelmed. I was

138
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: like freaking out. But then after that it was like

139
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: we all could have known each other forever and it's

140
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: been so like natural and yeah, and then that teen

141
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: season was when we had the playoff run too, Oh yeah,

142
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: we randomly it was us and Natasha. We decided to

143
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: book a flight cross country. Yes, after they won that

144
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: game too, going to Foxborol Baby we did too, And

145
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: I think that's something I worried about when Isaac got drafted.

146
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: Is like I seen all these TV shows that girls

147
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: a certain way or like I don't know, just social

148
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: media in general can betray like dating or being married

149
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: to an athlete a certain way. And so when Isaac

150
00:07:53,600 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: got drafted, I was like yeah, so I was like

151
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't really know what to expect. It was like

152
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: very intimidating. So I remember my first year going to

153
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: all the games. I would like ask Isaac's sad, like, hey,

154
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: you can go to the game, and if he wasn't,

155
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I'll just I'll just sit there.

156
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: Like there are a few games where I sat alone.

157
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: But I mean it's very intimidating thinking about the NFL

158
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: and like all the girls are like established or like

159
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: at least that's what you think. Yeah, but then you

160
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: really like I know, me and Emily, we were just

161
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: like happy to find each other and then when we met,

162
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: you were like, oh, we have to take your in

163
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: is ours like we're gonna make a friend. And it's

164
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: fun too because like we're both Midwest and a couple

165
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: of our other good friends or Midwest or like southern.

166
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: But then like Nicola fits right in with us too.

167
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah she oh my god. Oh yeah, But I know

168
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: there's like super intimidating meeting friends. But I mean I

169
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: never thought, like everyone says, like meeting friends after college

170
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: is very hard. Yeah, plus meeting friends after college when

171
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: your husband fiance boyfriends in the NFL, you would think

172
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: it'd be even harder. But I'm so blessed of Yeah,

173
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: it's nice. We're all like in the same boat. We're

174
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: like the same stage of our lives. Like, it's really

175
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: nice to kind of have that next friend group in

176
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: the next stage of our lives. It's great that we

177
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: can connect on the football level. On Sundays we can

178
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: see each other, and but then we can go out

179
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: and do things like this and just be like friends.

180
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: So that's awesome exactly, which brings me to my next

181
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: point about watching the games together. So I'm sure I

182
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: feel like when I was in college and Isaac was

183
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: training for the draft and like doing all that stuff,

184
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder, like how an NFL game

185
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: differs from college. But I feel like we have picked

186
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: up right where we left off. I don't know, well

187
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: because I didn't know, but I know Indiana University, so

188
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, big Tailgating school like, are these girls

189
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: gonna be fun? Are they gonna be boring? Like, no,

190
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm just here to watch the game, right, yeah, but

191
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean you guys can talk a little bit about that.

192
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. I went to the school. I went

193
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: to University of Texas in Austin, So I literally went

194
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: at school because of big football in big sports, Like

195
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: I was stoked to do that. So I had big tailgates.

196
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: So it was the perfect transition to just continue that

197
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: lifestyle on the weekend and finding friends that want to

198
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: have that had that fun, loving but still intensity watch

199
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: the guys support them in their job, but so we

200
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: get to do the fun part of hang out in

201
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: the stands e could food, drink whatever. So I think

202
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: it's been a great transition for sure. This year of

203
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: course different, but it's just been fun, like having something

204
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: to look forward to every weekend, like plans with your

205
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: friends and just like I love rinning for a team.

206
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: It just camaraderie. Yeah. So I'm sure what a lot

207
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: of people might not know is like the players have

208
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: a certain lot obviously, just like protect like the players

209
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: or privacy and like be able to walk from the

210
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: car to the stadium without like having to do any

211
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: autographs whatever. Totally get that. But we kind of make

212
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: it like a little tailgating line because I I drive

213
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: up with Isaac. Do you guys drive up with Scott

214
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: and Dan? No, I don't even talk to the other

215
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: He gets scary, that's him. But I know I think Dan,

216
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: Scott and some the other guys would car pool the game,

217
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: and then I would take his truck because I would

218
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: always have friends or someone. Then we have the tailgate

219
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: for an actual tailgates with the cooler and all that.

220
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would drive myself, but I could have

221
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: his parking pass for his vehicle, so we could be

222
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: in there and see you guys, and we could connect

223
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: with other girls and families, Like we'll see some of

224
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: our friends parents or aunts and uncles, and I'm like,

225
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: come join us. We have food, we have drinks. Like

226
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: it's just fun to like make it a big group. Yeah,

227
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: And I mean, Isaac is very particular about his game days.

228
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Unfortunately this year it's had to change a little bit

229
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: because of the current state of everything going on. But

230
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: for the past three years I have driven to the

231
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: hotel at like nine am. Even for one o'clock game.

232
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: I drive to the hotel like nine am, pick him up,

233
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: We leave the hotel, he DJ and I drive the

234
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: entire time. Everyone I know seriously, He's just like, well,

235
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: I just want to focus on like getting my mind

236
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,119
Speaker 1: right and like playing my playlist. And I'm like, okay whatever.

237
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: I was like, if I drive there, you'll drive back.

238
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: So we drive up to the game, and he is

239
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: always one of the first people in the parking lot.

240
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the only other person that's in

241
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: the parking lot is coach Linn. So whenever we do that,

242
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: I usually wait to do my makeup, and then I'll

243
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: do my makeup in the park. God, I do not

244
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: know this, And then I didn't think it was this extensive.

245
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: And then once I get to the lot, I'll text

246
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: Emily and I'm like, all right, how are the Phoenies doing,

247
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: because Dan's family going to all the games? Yeah, I

248
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: mean I think every year they like miss one home

249
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: game if that. Oh yeah, So I'm just like, all right,

250
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: where the Phoenies at? Where's Emily at? And then I

251
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: patiently wait for you guys, And then we kind of

252
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: set up shop a little tailgate. Natasha brings her tent

253
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: table and we just kind of make it. I know,

254
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: I kind of miss it, but we just kind of

255
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: make it like our own little tailgating spot. I do

256
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: wish like we would venture out into like the fan parking.

257
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I've heard a thunder alley, yes, m m, and like

258
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: the die Hard Bowl Club. I want to be a

259
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: little shout out. But I hear they have some like

260
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: epic tailgates and that's one thing I was like looking

261
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: forward to doing this year. Yeah, but we haven't been

262
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: able to do. So I feel like I'm doing all

263
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: the talk, Okay, so we can talk about how Corona

264
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: has kind of affected this season and like what we

265
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: do now that we were not able to go to

266
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: games because for those of you who are listening, a

267
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of or I guess not a lot, but some

268
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: of the teams are able to have not full capacity,

269
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: but like fifteen percent twenty percent. But the Chargers being

270
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: in California, we're not able to have any fans. So

271
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: we've kind of came up with our own plan. Yeah,

272
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: we have to. We've we have a little group message

273

297
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,080

298
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: It was so Yeah, the guys feel exactly where we were.

299
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: They always be where to look for us. But it's

300
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: like a new upgrade that of course you want to

301
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: take advantage of. Absolutely, yeah, because none of us were

302
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: with the team when they were down in San Diego still,

303
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:38,800

306
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: up here. M M yeah, crazy interesting. Yeah, but Emily,

307
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: you got to go and tour because so technically we're playmakers.

308
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: Oh yes, And they offer like a couple of things

309
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: throughout the season and like off season for us, you know,

310
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: just being significant others of the players. And one of

311
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: the things was that they offered us to go and

312
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: tour the stadium. And me and Nicolette had worked the

313
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: first time, arguing the second time. Yes, okay, but I'm like,

314
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: got to go the first tour. So you've seen the

315
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: inside of the stadium. It's insane, it is huge, immaculate,

316
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's incredible. Honestly, it's literally like it's

317
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: obviously the nicest, biggest stadium in the world right now,

318
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: but like I want to see it with the fans

319
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, yes, exactly. I feel like we didn't

320
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: get the full like all of it until it's filled

321
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: with fans. Yeah, I'm going our guys. I've like flown

322
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: over it a few times just flying Lax. Also, if

323
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: you guys are ever flying into Lax, go on the

324
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: right side of the plane and you'll be able to

325
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: see the little Yeah. But I've been flying over and

326
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, that's huge, and like you can see

327
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: it just driving up the floor or five and it's

328
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: just crazy, and I'm like, I just want there to

329
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: be fans. I know it's be so sad, but Nikola

330
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: and I are going to be able to go and

331
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: see it next week. Next week they're doing another tour,

332
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: so that'll be awesome. They're obviously keeping it intimate, just

333
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: like a small group of women that are players, wives, girlfriends.

334
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: I think they're only a long facility, maybe coaches, So

335
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: it's a small group that that's really cool that we

336
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to kind of see that since we

337
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: can't go for the games, so the guys got to go,

338
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: so of course they're able to see it. We could

339
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: see it too, I know. I was like, Isaac, I'm

340
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: going to bring my camera and get so much footage.

341
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: And I felt terrible because you guys are like, make

342
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: sure you take all the pictures. I totally like, we're

343
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: just in awe. She literally have like one video for

344
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: them and they're like I was like, right, yeah, And

345
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of unfortunate because this is Dan

346
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: and Isaac's contract year. I don't know all the rules

347
00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: of the NFL and like contracts and whatnot. Soles forgive me.

348
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: I like, if you're listening to this, and that's something up.

349
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: And I'm almost positive that he's a free agent after

350
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: this year, as well as Dan. Emily the one who

351
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: knows the answer that Emily practice what is the season

352
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: for June I'm trying to get married literally, um. But

353
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy that, like, over the past four years

354
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: they've been hyping up the stadium so much and it's

355
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: beautiful and it's here and the photos yeah, and and

356
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: it's crazy that like the off chance that we might

357
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: not be able to see it right with fans like

358
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers, like cheering for the Chargers. You will get

359
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: into existence. You will here. Yeah, but um, four years

360
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: has a flown? How crazy is that? Right? Are people

361
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: are like in your three When people ask me, they're like, oh,

362
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,199

399
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: to able to see both of them. We don't have

400
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: to worry about like splitting time or anything like that.

401
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, we kind of just go with the phobe.

Speaker 1: with wedding planning, you guys have had a fairly long

407
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: engagement though, so you do you mean, do you have

408
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: to do a lot of planning during this season or

409
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: so we got engaged last July, and my personality is

410
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: very planner, planner planners, so by September I kind of

411
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: had everything booked. I was just like very excited. Of

412
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: course I want to marry him. I love him. I

413
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: was just so excited and from Kundergarten, just want to

414
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: that Kindergarten nuggets. But luckily for us, I was like,

415
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: let's not rush in the next summer. Let's just plan

416
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,239
Speaker 1: for the spring because then it's full off season. Then

417
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: we can go on our honeymoon right after. We don't

418
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: have to worry about, like you still keeping that shape

419
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: you need to be in. You can you can eat

420
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: the food you want. You have that little pin exactly,

421
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: So good thing for us. We didn't even plan for

422
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty because now we would have had

423
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: to go through all this horrible thing of replanning and

424
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: pandemic planning. You know, so super super lucky that we

425
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: were working on that. So that is I'm crazy, all

426
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: planned up, just finishing up some small things. I was

427
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: talking to his parents today about working on the rehearsal

428
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: dinner details. So yeah, just kind of like tying up

429
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: with sounds super excited, so not in that that's okay,

430
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: you will be obviously. I mean if you guys have

431
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: seen the podcast, you would know that I got engaged.

432
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean, now it's what took. Yeah, it's we got married,

433
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: get married. We got engaged in July. Yeah wait, oh

434
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: my gosh, but what adn't planning for us has been

435
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: really difficult because we're trying to get married in twenty

436
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: twenty one, which is what you were like, No, we're

437
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: going to wait another year. Yeah. I should have learned

438
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: from you, because it has been so stressful because Isaac's

439
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: at camp. He's to saying he's waking up at five

440
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: am and going to sleep at like eight, so I

441
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: get him for like maybe three hours, and I'm just like, Hi, um,

442
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: do you care about the venue? We're colors? Okay? Do

443
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: you have your groomsmen? Okay? The guest list I cut

444
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: some people out. You might want to check it out.

445
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: So it's been super stressful. Yeah, but it's gonna make it.

446
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know my wedding date at

447
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: this point. You're going to cancel our current venues, So

448
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be in the good thing is it's something

449
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: I have to remind myself as you're not doing it

450
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: for the party, You're doing it for the marriage. So

451
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: like I know, it's just something that it's an eight

452
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: hour party. You're not preparing for the party. You're preparing

453
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: for a life together. Oh So, like I know that's

454
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: super deep, but like it's true. Like there's so much things,

455
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: so many things out there about all all the fancy

456
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: stuff and everything you need, you just have to think about,

457
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: like the whole reason of this party is you guys

458
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: bringing your life together. And that's something that my mom

459
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: has been like, Ali, stop worrying about it all. It's

460
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: all going to fall into place. I just heard my

461
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: wedding planner, and I was like, take the reins. I

462
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: don't want them any I don't know. I talk big talk,

463
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: but I've been like, so we need super details, like

464
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: very micro details about everything thing at the event, like

465
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: it's still an event for me, like we were going

466
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: all out, but I still try to think big picture.

467
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: Text to me before the podcast, she was like, Hi,

468
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: I'm a planner. What time Okay, just want to make

469
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: sure and you said Pisa, and she was like, I

470
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: forgot to text her back and she was like Ali,

471
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: and I'm like the worst text her every I'm like yeah,

472
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: which makes it very bad planning a wedding. I'm a

473
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: bad planner. I don't text people back. It's horrible. But

474
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: transitioning to football, that's what we're here to talk about, right,

475
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: So um, transitioning from marriage talk, engagement whatever, Let's talk

476
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: about Dan Feeney's mullet. Oh God, why what? Because I

477
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: feel like it's just very important to talk about. How

478
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: did you let him not let let I'm using the

479
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: term let loosely, but how did you not cut his

480
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: hair in the middle of the sleep. So I've tried,

481
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: let's be honest, I've threatened it multiple times. But then

482
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: also so last year off season or no, last year

483
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: during season, he had this. I think it was first cute,

484
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: it was something and so wait and then I'm like,

485
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: had it on a T shirt? I did? That was

486
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: pretty funny. I mean of em like a T shirt

487
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: right now? Got it? Yeah, so got it on a

488
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: h T shirt. And he took that as a okay,

489
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: she's okay with it. Let's keep it going. But and

490
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: then COVID happened quarantine, so he was like, oh, perfect timing,

491
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: let's just get a bullet going too. So is this

492
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: just like a quarantine project? I think so. I think

493
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: he was already kind of planning on it, but then

494
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: the quarantine just kind of like shops closed. Couldn't get

495
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: his hair, why not get at I'm always like, um,

496
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: I can find scissors. I was like, I got it,

497
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: don't worry. I tried multiple times. So yeah, this man

498
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: decided that the mullet needed to be a thing this

499
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: year because him and Badge they always do it. Michael Badge,

500
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: league kicker number four, shout out, Mike shut out. I

501
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: think it's part of our little room, right, um. And

502
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: so he usually does it for camp and somehow this

503
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: year he didn't do it, which is very strange. But

504
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: then Dan was like, I'm taking it. Yeah, He's like,

505
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: I got it. Don't worry, guys, don't worry. Muld still here.

506
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: But it's just like, why so see what I what

507
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: I started when I saw it, when I saw him

508
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: starting to grow out a mullet, I was like, Oh,

509
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: it's probably an O line thing. No, because the O

510
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: line is different, because I mean, I don't know anything

511
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: about it, but I feel like group close. I'm like,

512
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: I don't don't know about it. I don't know if

513
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: I want to know about it, but like I feel

514
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: like they're such a close knit group. I feel like

515
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: everywhere too. Dad always says, like with college, with everything,

516
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: like it's always been online, do you also make sense?

517
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: And the trenches together they shoulder, they're just protecting the quarterbacks.

518
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So he just decided that need to be

519
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: a thing. And then we went home for the Fourth

520
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: of July. We always try to go home during that

521
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: because that's like the one time one holiday we know

522
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: we can be there for. And my dad and stepmom

523
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: actually came up this year. And my stepmom, she used

524
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: to be a hairdresser back in the day. So she's

525
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: always cuts my dad's hair, like every like her son's hair,

526
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: my stepbrothers and um, like she always cuts hair. But

527
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: she started cutting bullets because it was like back in

528
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: the eighties when like mullets were big, and so she

529
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I got it. Worries because like that's

530
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: still when all the everything was still closed, even in Illinois.

531
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: And so Dan thought I was conspiring with her, of course,

532
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, I'm not gonna let her

533
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: cut it, like she's gonna shave it all. Yes. She

534
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: was so like, I don't know. I was like, I

535
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: mean I hadn't thought of that, but I'm going to

536
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: now for sure. I thank you. I was like, I

537
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: got you. No. Um. But as long as he keeps

538
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: it up, keeps it looking nice, this man, he's like

539
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: he gets me attacked on Twitter all the time because

540
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: his little press conference, his press conferences or whatever they're

541
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: called after the media after the game or after practice.

542
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: They're always like, oh, so there's the mole is staying.

543
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, if the girlfriend approves, I'm like, I

544
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: have no saying this. First of all. Second of all,

545
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: calm down Twitter, right, staying because I feel like whenever

546
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Isaac has a really good play or like something bad

547
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: happens on the defensive line, not I'm not talking about

548
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: you as not you messing up, but I'll always check.

549
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: I'll always check Twitter throughout the game, and I'll just

550
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: search like as a grow shell or like whatever. Layer. Yeah. Um,

551
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: I would strongly advise against that because don't definitely learn

552
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: to not do that. Yeah, And I feel like, I mean,

553
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: when we're watching the games together, offensive line versus defensive line,

554
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm just like, Okay, what's going on, What's going on?

555
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: And then I go and get like a mimosa or whatever,

556
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: and then you guys are like, Okay, what's going on?

557
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: What's We're kind of trading off together. But I feel

558
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: like we like we like intently watch, like we bring

559
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: the food. We're like, okay, let's arrive thirty minutes early.

560
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna set up shop, we're gonna grab a drink,

561
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: and then we're all like sitting down on the couch

562
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: by one oh five or like whatever game time started. Yeah. No,

563
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: for sure, we're great fans. Of course, we're cheering, we're screaming,

564
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: we're having fun, we're being friends. But when it's like

565
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: time for our guys, we are intensely watched absolutely well,

566
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: just as like jokes, Oh totally give Scott crap, Like

567
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, I really watched that play. It looks like

568
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, you let him through and he's like, oh

569
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: my god, it's a joke. But I know, like I

570
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: know your job and I know you're supposed to protect

571
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: and you didn't like sample and so good honey, Like

572
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to tell him how it is. And

573
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: I was talking to I can't remember the other girls.

574
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, you say that to him,

575
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: like yes, I could get like his future wife. I

576
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: need to keep him accountable if I has a good

577
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: play and I don't text him like yes, like screaming

578
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: via text aka capital letters, like freaking out over text

579
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: message and he gets out of the game and there's

580
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: no text for me. He's like are you okay? You

581
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: and he's like yeah, I just didn't get any text.

582
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh, I'm sorry, So now I purpose

583
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: was like yes, like black butt, like wait that a yes? No.

584
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: I think it's funny, like even when we're on the

585
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: when it was normal and we were on the sidelines,

586
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: like yes, we're having the best time ever. But when

587
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: it's like time to focus, we are like I can

588
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,520

00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: feel like them take accountability of it. And then yeah,

606
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's just a good old time. It's great.

607
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: It's super great too because there's a lot of I

608
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: don't want to say politics, but like Scott and Dan

609
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: can play the same position, Like there are a lot

610
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: of those things where guys are it's a competition every day.

611
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: Those guys are out there working hard to keep their

612
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: job to not get fired absolutely every day and it's

613
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: really great. But it's just the good thing is is

614
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: like we don't let that get in the way of

615
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: our friendships. Like we know that they're doing their job,

616
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: they're giving everything they can. It's up to the coaches

617
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: at the management, like they are there to do a

618
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: job and they're they're doing great at whatever their task

619
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: to do. And I think it's great that we don't

620
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: get caught up in the drama. That there could be

621
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: drama and one of the guys won't bring it home

622
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: to us because that's not our problem. They love that

623
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: we're friends with their friends and that we can have

624
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: a good time and go out when it's safe and

625
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: to be together and do things as a as a

626
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: friend group and not have that back of your mind,

627
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm in competition with that a guy across the table.

628
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: I think that because I'm with all the O line.

629
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah you aren't. It's okay, maybe it's better you might

630
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: be that girl, right, No, but I mean I guess

631
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that. Like all of them

632
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: are just like competing. I mean, at the end of

633
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: the day, it's a job exactly, but like obviously we're

634
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: all very grateful and like we'll cheer each other on

635
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: no matter what, because at the end of the day,

636
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: it's like somebody being successful that you're friends with. It's

637
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: like the best. It's incredible. Yeah. Well, and I always

638
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: feel bad, like going back to like the days, like

639
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: the the when the cut happens down to the fifty

640
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: three man roster, it makes me feel icky. It's always

641
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: so on the past weekend of course. Well, and it's

642
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: like especially I'm sure it is with every position. But

643
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: obviously we only know I mean, nc Lett only know

644
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: a line. And when we when they get calls, it's

645
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: like luckily Dan and Scott has not have not had

646
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: to deal with that, but like their best friends have,

647
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: and it's so hard that it's like we have to

648
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: remind them too. We have to like always kind of

649
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: be like they're strong. Yeah. Point two, being like Okay,

650
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: I get it's your best friend, but you also it's

651
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: it's a job. It's not like it's not you're still

652
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: just playing pop warn or football. Yeah, it's you. It's

653
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: your livelihood. And it's always like, m would you rather

654
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: be you getting the call? You know what I mean?

655
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: It's always terrifying. Well, and like that's exactly what happened

656
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: with Isaac, Like your first year in the NHRL. Yeah,

657
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: he makes a fifty three man roster, like succeeds through

658
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: California Cars, I swear to God, but he succeeds through

659
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster and like Dave cuts and whatever.

660
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: He's on the team for the first week, the first

661
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: game and then he gives me a call. Little me.

662
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm still in college and he gives me a call.

663
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, can you talk. I'm like, okay, let

664
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: me leave class. Yeah, I has to go to the bathroom.

665
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm Bazyna. But he gives me a call

666
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, I just got cut. So like

667
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: for the next twenty four hours, I am gonna be

668
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: available to any other team and we're just gonna have

669
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: to figure this out. And he was like Um, I'll

670
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: probably go to practice squad if I don't get picked

671
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: up whatever. And it's like the most difficult thing, I

672
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: mean to see the person, like hearing that phone call,

673
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: especially like the NFL of being somebody's dream, especially your

674
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: fiance future husband. It's so difficult for them to be

675
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: in such a bad place and you can't even like

676
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: hype them up at all. You're not like, oh, you're

677
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: such a good player, somebody'll pick you up. Like they're

678
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: feeling at like their lowest point ever, like, and they

679
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: don't want to hear that. They don't want to hear

680
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you'll get picked up like m m. They're

681
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: like yeah, it's like okay, just keep me updated. I'm

682
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: here for you, right Yeah. And so when it comes

683
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: to like having friends who are like on that day,

684
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: very stressed out, it's like I totally know where you

685
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: guys are, um, and then just like hoping praying that

686
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: they like they get a phone call for a different

687
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: team or like whatever and just kind of suct like

688
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: whether it's on the same team or not. We want

689
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: everyone to do well and they live out their dream

690
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: having their job be a sport. That's amazing, Like all

691
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: these guys probably dreamed as a child, Like I don't.

692
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: I can't think of anyone who's job in the NFL

693
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: is just because they were good at it. Like I

694
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: think it's truly something that these strive for and want

695
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: to be and do and right, it's so amazing to

696
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: see them have that job is such a passion, and

697
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: I think it definitely rubs off on us because we

698
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: feel like it's a passion for us too, like passionate

699
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: teams team exactly. It helps us to positive for them,

700
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: like even when game doesn't go as hard as well,

701
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: you always are just going to be there for them.

702
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: Like people always think there's this shiny being a significant

703
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: other of an NFL team player, But there's there's hard

704
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: parts too, like just because like oh bummer, we lost you. Still,

705
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: like that's hard on them when they could actively affect

706
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: the game. I know all of our guys go home

707
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: and watch the film right away and I'm like, okay,

708
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: let's sit down, Like I'm like, hey, I know how

709
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: it is, Like yeah, we tell you how. Yeah. People

710
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: underestimate that stuff though, too. I mean during the season,

711
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: it is an actual job, Like it is very hard

712
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: and like I have to be there for him. I mean,

713
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: and it's not just a ninety five job. It's not.

714
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: It's it's literally he come. He wakes up at five am,

715
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: ghosts and facility. I don't see him until six pm.

716
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: And then he's talking about football. He's on NFLPA calls.

717
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: He's talking like your husband's, your fiances whatever, and it's

718
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: just it's like, honestly, for the entire season, it's just

719
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: like football. Yeah, and it's not just work, like I

720
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: work at s job, I sit at my desk, I

721
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: get my job down, I'm home. It's it's on their bodies.

722
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: Like we get home, he's like, I really need to

723
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: get the hyper bowl down. I really need to do

724
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: all these things. Like they're actively covering their body everything

725
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: because they're working so hard. Yeah, like we're working hard mentally,

726
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: like we're doing our jobs because we are all working

727
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: women and we're doing our best to work. But it's

728
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: it's a mental exhaustion them. It's physical and mental. They

729
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: have to remember every move they make and they have

730
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: to fix those mistakes and they have to keep their

731
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: body healthy. It's like reminding me to like give Isaac

732
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: a break. Everywhere I'm like, I say, I talk me game.

733
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm always like I'm really tired from work today. He's like,

734
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: you literally sat on the couch you work from home,

735
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: Like you're hanging on the dog yet home, and he's

736
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: like lifting weights and pushing people around for a job.

737
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well that's crazy because like the off season

738
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: is just as important as the season. So it's like, honestly,

739
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: like from January first, still, the December thirty first, like

740
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: it is just constantly on and like we are planning

741
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: our wedding around that. Like Isaac was saying, well, I'd

742
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: rather have our wedding in April rather than June because

743
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: then I can actually like feel free about like going

744
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: our honeymoon, eating one and like whatever. And it's just

745
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: crazy how much like it determines like your life. But

746
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: like these guys take it so seriously, and it's i mean,

747
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: obviously I feel like a sense of like proud for yeah,

748
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: because he is so like always in tune with like, Okay,

749
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: let's get this done, let's get this done. It's crazy. Yeah,

750
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: it is fun too. Okay, we definitely make a serious

751
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: but I mean we're very lucky that instead of going

752
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 1: to holiday parties for our our husbands, getting that million

753
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: dollars sale. We get to hang out on Sunday and

754
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,080
