Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Well cue the Selene Dion music. Ah. Butses, guys,
Speaker 1: if you want to sign me for a record deal,
Speaker 1: I'm available. Welcome to the Calm Down Podcast. I am
Speaker 1: for now all by myself. UM as Pat McAfee, hopefully
Speaker 1: we get him on this show one time. Would say
Speaker 1: tease and peas up to our girl Carrissa Thompson. She
Speaker 1: is out sick this week, but I can assure you
Speaker 1: next week she is going to have one hell of
Speaker 1: a story for us. Um. I won't give that away,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I look forward to that next week. But
Speaker 1: because we love everybody so much, and thanks for tuning
Speaker 1: back in to Calm Down Podcast with Aaron and Carissa, Uh,
Speaker 1: you got me. And I'm excited because we called in
Speaker 1: an emergency favor and Chris is going to be piste.
Speaker 1: We uh we called our end. I'll be all the
Speaker 1: goat the Michael Jordan's of Sideline reporting of being a
Speaker 1: female in this crazy ass industry of sports broadcasting. We
Speaker 1: called it Melissa's stark and I, like I said, CHRISA
Speaker 1: is not going to be happy that she is missing
Speaker 1: this because Melissa is uh somebody that I know, Chris
Speaker 1: and I look up to very very much. The first
Speaker 1: time I met Melissa was at a party at the
Speaker 1: Emmy's in New York City. I just joined Fox Sports,
Speaker 1: and let's let's bring it back. I mean, I knew
Speaker 1: I always wanted to be involved in sports broadcasting, but
Speaker 1: I think it was when Melissa started um on ESPN
Speaker 1: Scholastic sports. Yeah, I was at it. I know, That's
Speaker 1: when she kind of was on my radar. But then
Speaker 1: when she took to the sidelines on Monday Night football,
Speaker 1: that's exactly who I wanted to be. I cut my
Speaker 1: hair like her. I started to dress like her. I
Speaker 1: was doing the sweater sets and the slacks. My dad
Speaker 1: loved her. He say, watch her, watch what she does,
Speaker 1: watch her stand ups, listen to her reports. And I
Speaker 1: tried to be like her. I tried to emulate her.
Speaker 1: I remember thinking faith Hill was really hot and big
Speaker 1: that time, and I remember thinking Melissa's Stark is the
Speaker 1: faith Hill of the sidelines. And I never had a
Speaker 1: chance to meet her. I was never at the same
Speaker 1: event as her. And uh, yeah, I joined Fox Sports
Speaker 1: ten years ago. Oh yeah, ten years ago. This is
Speaker 1: my tent season, went to the Emmys and we had
Speaker 1: to go to kind of a pre kind of cocktail
Speaker 1: hour before. I remember I was in a green dress
Speaker 1: and somebody said, Oh, there's Melissa Stark and I panicked.
Speaker 1: I remember just sweating right away, being very concerned, but
Speaker 1: I had to go say something to her. I walked
Speaker 1: up to her right away, I got a sweat stash
Speaker 1: above my lip and I just said, Hi, I'm Aaron
Speaker 1: Andrews and you're my Michael Jordan's And god knows what
Speaker 1: she thought when I said that, but I love and
Speaker 1: since then we exchanged phone numbers. Chris and I are
Speaker 1: on a very fun text chain with her where we
Speaker 1: talk about basically everything. Also, who's doing your hair and
Speaker 1: makeup in London? Do you have anybody in Boston? Um?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm so excited Melissa's here today to help
Speaker 1: pick up the slack that our girl left behind. Just kidding, CT.
Speaker 1: We love you, we hope you feel better. But I
Speaker 1: have a ton of questions for Melissa. I also think
Speaker 1: it's pretty darn cool with the return of Tom Brady
Speaker 1: to Gillette Stadium this weekend. UM. Melissa started her career
Speaker 1: kind of when that era began the Tom Brady Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick era in Foxboro. So I have been jealous of
Speaker 1: her for many years with the relationship and the trust
Speaker 1: that she has with um Bill Belichick. And I actually
Speaker 1: talked to coach Belichick about that. What was it about
Speaker 1: her that he trusts so much? So I'm dying to
Speaker 1: get her take on this weekend and the games, and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it was a crazy week for me. Last
Speaker 1: weekend we did where were we? We were in Houston
Speaker 1: for Carolina Texans, and then Sunday really quickly I did
Speaker 1: Bucks Rams and it was a home game for me
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and Tom Brady's in town, super Bowl
Speaker 1: champs in town to take on Matthew Stafford Sean McVeigh
Speaker 1: and that freaking awesome Rams defense. Holy shit it First
Speaker 1: of all, the biggest observation from that game, while a
Speaker 1: couple of them, the Rams are unbelievable. The party is
Speaker 1: back in l A. King's Let's go pick it up.
Speaker 1: You know, Dodgers are always winning. But the atmosphere at
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium, I think we did a really good job
Speaker 1: on our broadcast kind of showing it. It was so
Speaker 1: freaking loud. My ears were ringing even when I got
Speaker 1: back home and was watching Sunday Night football with my husband.
Speaker 1: My ears just hurt. Like the fans were unbelievable. They
Speaker 1: were blaring music out of that p A system. It
Speaker 1: was such an incredible atmosphere. The stars were there. Larry
Speaker 1: David was there, Um, Jason Sadakis, Ted Lasso cast was there,
Speaker 1: kind of annoyed they weren't on the sidelines that really
Speaker 1: wanted to meet him. Coach Beard was there. Dr Dre
Speaker 1: was on the John Botron. It was just it was
Speaker 1: just it kind of felt like what the old Laker
Speaker 1: games looked like, with you know, Kobe playing and Jack
Speaker 1: Nicholson um being on the sidelines right there courtside. It was.
Speaker 1: It was an awesome, awesome experience and proud of the
Speaker 1: city of Los Angeles. The Rams looked unbelievable. Bucks defense
Speaker 1: needs to get it going. Tom Brady played while it's
Speaker 1: just they couldn't get that run game going and everything.
Speaker 1: But wow, l A was It was a party, it
Speaker 1: was a scene, it was a vibe. I'm pump because
Speaker 1: hopefully we have more home games. But it was a
Speaker 1: really really cool experience. So um excited for this weekend
Speaker 1: with the return of Tom Brady excited to talk to
Speaker 1: Melissa Stark about it. And also, don't forget you guys
Speaker 1: always checking in on our Calm Down podcast Instagram. I
Speaker 1: was doing some stupid stuff. I think on it this
Speaker 1: week and we'll fill you guys in from Cincinnati. I
Speaker 1: head there tonight for our Thursday night matchup Jacksonville at Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: and then I'm off this weekend and I cannot wait
Speaker 1: to be in my pajamas, watch football on Saturday and
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Talk to our girl Clarissa. Hope she's feeling better.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, like I said, I'll check in on
Speaker 1: the Instagram. Okay, that's enough of me rambling coming up
Speaker 1: the o G, the goat, the hottie, someone I live
Speaker 1: for and I'm so grateful for and grateful to be
Speaker 1: a friend of hers and to have her help me
Speaker 1: out with advice and just to kind of poke funds
Speaker 1: sometimes at this profession. Melissa Start is going to join
Speaker 1: us next So I mean, I'm just coming on and
Speaker 1: saying this because we are very informal Calm Down. Um
Speaker 1: our girl Carissa will let her explain when she's back
Speaker 1: under the weather, but um, she's gonna be pissed about
Speaker 1: this because we share a lot of love for a
Speaker 1: lot of the same athletes, but when we talk about
Speaker 1: somebody who is uh, the end all be all for
Speaker 1: the both of us, who we just love admire has
Speaker 1: been our mentor I the first time I met you,
Speaker 1: I called you my Michael Jordan's it is, uh, the
Speaker 1: one and the only Melissa Stark And I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: I called my dad today and I said, Chris is sick, dad,
Speaker 1: but I got Melissa Stark coming on and he said,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I mean you are at how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm great. Although, although it's funny when you guys say
Speaker 1: that I'm your role model, because I mean not that
Speaker 1: women talk about their age or anything like that, but
Speaker 1: I mean it makes me feel like I'm sixty or
Speaker 1: sixty five when you say that. No, I came like
Speaker 1: so far before you, although it was we did didn't though, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did come at different times because you know, you
Speaker 1: were sort of more in the social media age, right
Speaker 1: done to him and yeah, um, I didn't really have
Speaker 1: any of that. I know. Then it was sort of weird,
Speaker 1: you know, I cut my hair all short and did
Speaker 1: that whole thing because you were just supposed to be
Speaker 1: one of the guys, and you were just supposed to
Speaker 1: be this hardcore serious journalist to be taken seriously. But
Speaker 1: that all changed and now and now you can have fun.
Speaker 1: And I love watching all your interviews with the players,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just like it's a whole different
Speaker 1: dynamic where it is. It kind of encapsulates everything, and
Speaker 1: it's just I kind of wish it had been like
Speaker 1: during my time, it had been like this. You know,
Speaker 1: you say that, Oh my god, ten thousand notes from
Speaker 1: Melissa's start. The first one my hair cut like her.
Speaker 1: You know that my hair cut in two thousand four,
Speaker 1: I was doing the Stanley Cup finals. I don't know
Speaker 1: how pass work, but like, we'll get it and we'll
Speaker 1: put it up. I know I have it on my phone.
Speaker 1: But I cut mine exactly like yours when you was
Speaker 1: playing Monday night football exactly. I was like, you're Jennifer Anison, then,
Speaker 1: right you were? You were. I died it, I mean,
Speaker 1: because we all know I'm not that blonde. I died
Speaker 1: it exactly like yours. I had it super short, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to be I would I would try to
Speaker 1: wear exactly what you wore. You looked a hell of
Speaker 1: a lot better than I did on Monday night football sidelines.
Speaker 1: But I was my stand up for Game seven of
Speaker 1: You would have never worn a bright lime green and
Speaker 1: Taylor V neck though I know that about you. You
Speaker 1: had too much like fashion style than I did. But
Speaker 1: you know you were my end all be all. But wait,
Speaker 1: I have to ask you. Can I go back from
Speaker 1: the beginning I was looking. You were an intern for
Speaker 1: the Evening News with Dan Rather. That's incredible, the CBS
Speaker 1: Union News. And I think I always love sports, and
Speaker 1: I grew up. I grew up in Baltimore, and so
Speaker 1: we my dad's and I sergeant at Johns Hopkins, and
Speaker 1: so he would on the side go check on the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Colts during halftime during the games. And so I
Speaker 1: always say, you know, I was in the locker room
Speaker 1: when I was five, six, seven years old, when I
Speaker 1: was young, and I just always love sports. I mean,
Speaker 1: even before you know reality TV. I just said it
Speaker 1: was always you know, it's the best reality of TV.
Speaker 1: And I loved playing sports. A huge tennis player. I
Speaker 1: played golf the whole thing. And um, so what was
Speaker 1: your question? I forgot what your question was. Just what
Speaker 1: that experience was, like, I mean being an intern for
Speaker 1: Yes CBS I digress, so, um it was incredible. I
Speaker 1: mean it was. So I worked for Dr Bob Arnott,
Speaker 1: who was the cop ondent. So that was sort of
Speaker 1: how I got at the end because I come from
Speaker 1: a family of doctors, and you know, I'm living in
Speaker 1: New York City. I went to uv A and I'm
Speaker 1: it's in the summer's while I'm at school, and it's
Speaker 1: it's just incredible to learn sort of that journalistic sense.
Speaker 1: And the best is so when I graduated from uv A.
Speaker 1: So my senior year uv A my last year when
Speaker 1: you call it a fourth year at UVA because according
Speaker 1: to Thomas Jefferson, like it's ever evolving your education. So
Speaker 1: um yeah. So my fourth year u v A, I
Speaker 1: did something called the Coaches Show, where I did features
Speaker 1: on all the basketball players and all the football So
Speaker 1: when I graduated, I had this tape because back then
Speaker 1: you didn't you know, there wasn't you can just film
Speaker 1: something on an iPhone with at then aaron you know,
Speaker 1: stop it agents. So I went around to all these
Speaker 1: news directors and I said, I know it's all sports,
Speaker 1: but I really want to cover news. I really wanted
Speaker 1: to be Christian. I'm on for in a war zone
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. And that's actually how I
Speaker 1: got to the Today Show because they did an interview
Speaker 1: on me and Vogue and saw that in the head
Speaker 1: of at the at NBC said really, you want to
Speaker 1: be a news so that I went to the Today Show.
Speaker 1: But so all these news directors said, you know, I
Speaker 1: can see how you cover a sporting event, but I
Speaker 1: don't know how you'd be in a town council meeting.
Speaker 1: And we're talking about, you know, Saulisbury, Maryland. So that
Speaker 1: ESPN was launching ESPN News at the time. So it
Speaker 1: was sort of just a fit um because I covered
Speaker 1: all the local teams in Baltimore. I covered you know,
Speaker 1: the the Orioles. I mean, all my hometown teams growing up.
Speaker 1: So that was your beat Baltimore. Okay, I was trying
Speaker 1: to remember that was And it's funny because I met
Speaker 1: somebody in the press box at an Orioles game and
Speaker 1: I said, they said, you have an agent and I
Speaker 1: said no, and they said, well, there's this great woman
Speaker 1: who represents Bonnie Bernstein. You remember Bonnie Bernstein first, you know,
Speaker 1: to this and I said, do you think she'd you know,
Speaker 1: take my call or take my tape? And they said, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Here's her info. I mean she called,
Speaker 1: you know, the next day, and sort of the rest
Speaker 1: is history. But ESPN News was launching at the time.
Speaker 1: But I've never you know, how reading a teleprompter is
Speaker 1: a different It's just a different space. And I've never
Speaker 1: read a teleprompter. And so the interview for ESPN News
Speaker 1: was and I just sort of I didn't even know
Speaker 1: to move the shot sheets. I didn't know what I
Speaker 1: was doing. I go, well, that went terribly, And I
Speaker 1: remember al jaff You was hiring everybody to the Chilies
Speaker 1: because that was the one place in Bristol, Connecticut that
Speaker 1: you could go, you know, it was the hot spot
Speaker 1: to eat. And so were Phil. He's after and he said,
Speaker 1: well but I think we have to Um you know,
Speaker 1: I I probably got the Yeah, the Nazos are the Fahitas.
Speaker 1: Um so I um. I started hosting um Scholastic Sports America,
Speaker 1: which is all that's I fell in love with you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was incredible, So that's how that's all kind of started. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I always loved news, which is which is interesting you know,
Speaker 1: and then and then I wanted to get back into
Speaker 1: news right and sort of always. And then I went
Speaker 1: to the Today Show, but with kids, because I've got
Speaker 1: four kids now and I always say they're I have
Speaker 1: little kids, but I don't. They're all in high school.
Speaker 1: I have four breaking high schoolers, which is crazy to
Speaker 1: say that, and I feel so old when I say that.
Speaker 1: But so, you know, it was hard to do news
Speaker 1: because I remember, I remember, you know, they wanted me
Speaker 1: to cover like Siegfried and Roy. I remember the Tiger
Speaker 1: Tamers and gulled by the type attack. Yeah yeah, can
Speaker 1: you fly tomorrow to go do this? And I just couldn't.
Speaker 1: That type of lifestyle where you just had no schedule
Speaker 1: was was really hard and and it sports, you know,
Speaker 1: for us, it's the perfect job because everything scheduled and
Speaker 1: you know when you're doing what I mean, unless of
Speaker 1: course it's breaking news or something like that. But totally
Speaker 1: totally so if you had your choice right now, I mean,
Speaker 1: say you're back where you were with Monday Night Football,
Speaker 1: if they said be you know the host of your
Speaker 1: You're taking over for David Mirror or Brokaw or you
Speaker 1: know Jennings that or Monday night football sidelines? What are
Speaker 1: you picking? No, it would still well, okay, we can
Speaker 1: talk about you and I can talk about sidelines, because
Speaker 1: sidelines is a I can't wait when I commend you
Speaker 1: for sidelines. It is a really hard like it's you've
Speaker 1: got twenty five seconds to get in the news and
Speaker 1: you've done so much. Like I remember Steve one young
Speaker 1: one saying to me, so do you just um, do
Speaker 1: you just show up right before the game? What do
Speaker 1: you do? Like do you guys just kind of come over?
Speaker 1: And he said, do you even stayed during the game?
Speaker 1: Like what do you do? I see? I mean, come on.
Speaker 1: Maybe that wasn't for sidelines, but just covering me. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's so much more work than people think.
Speaker 1: You know. I remember when I was working with John
Speaker 1: Madden and Whenday night football and he wanted, you know,
Speaker 1: we would be at we would fly. He would wantus
Speaker 1: to find three days ahead of time. So for a
Speaker 1: Monday night football game, you're going Friday because you want
Speaker 1: to see the practices the whole thing. You want to
Speaker 1: watch film. You know, it's a lot more work for
Speaker 1: for just a couple of hits here and there, and
Speaker 1: then perstand of what you've learned or what you've researched
Speaker 1: that week, or who you've talked to doesn't ever see
Speaker 1: the light of day. So I would choose sports hands
Speaker 1: down over news to answer your question, just because I
Speaker 1: remember when I filled it for an inquiry. I was
Speaker 1: the news reader on Today's show, and every time I
Speaker 1: would read the news, and I would read the news,
Speaker 1: and every time it's a sports story, I would just
Speaker 1: light I feel the exact same way. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to be a more responsible adult now that I'm
Speaker 1: forty two years old and be like, Okay, let's try
Speaker 1: to understand. Let's try to understand more than just a
Speaker 1: four or three defense three four, Like, let's try to
Speaker 1: understand politics of what's going on in the world and all.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've done so many different things and you've
Speaker 1: ventured out into so many different areas, right, but this
Speaker 1: is my love, Like this is I'm disgusting. I'm in
Speaker 1: a hotel room I'm flying to since tonight. I'm in
Speaker 1: Miami right now, Like I I haven't seen my husband
Speaker 1: or my dog. We're working on a family but I
Speaker 1: would die if I mean about that, because I never
Speaker 1: know about that, like how you would all that a
Speaker 1: family and everything? I want to have kids. We do too.
Speaker 1: We're trying so so hard. We've had the worst time
Speaker 1: with fertility. Um. Actually was at the fertility clinic this
Speaker 1: morning here in Miami before I had to Cincinnati. It's
Speaker 1: just like it's just become a part of my life.
Speaker 1: Like I know it's going to happen, but holy cow,
Speaker 1: has this been a journey. But it's going to work out.
Speaker 1: It's totally totally well. I've never stuck myself with more
Speaker 1: needles in my entire life. But I I'm envous. Your
Speaker 1: children are beautiful and I cannot wait to uh have some.
Speaker 1: I just did all that a lot. I did all
Speaker 1: that I had to go. Yeah, I had some struggles
Speaker 1: on my own. So I know where you are and
Speaker 1: I feel your I just didn't have you know, I
Speaker 1: just did it a while ago. So um, but I
Speaker 1: think it's it's all so exciting and I'm excited. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'll all work out. I love you, Okay, So one thing,
Speaker 1: I'm done and it's so timely. So Bill Belichick, it
Speaker 1: definitely hard for me to crack. I've been very very
Speaker 1: open with that, and I one time said to him.
Speaker 1: It was before UM the Houston super Bowl where they
Speaker 1: took on Atlanta. He was so wonderful to us in
Speaker 1: our pregame meetings with him, like two or three days
Speaker 1: before this super Bowl, and I just walked up to
Speaker 1: him afterwards and I said, Coach, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for your time. I said, you have to know Melissa's
Speaker 1: Stark is who I look up to, and I know
Speaker 1: you respect her very very much, and I just love
Speaker 1: to know, Coach, you do these sit down interviews with her,
Speaker 1: you do these one on ones with her. What is
Speaker 1: it about her? And Um, I said, because I want
Speaker 1: to be like that, and he just said, you know,
Speaker 1: in so many ways she's no bullshit like she's just
Speaker 1: he trusts you. And I think I texted you a
Speaker 1: couple of days later or maybe right then, and I
Speaker 1: was like, what do you do? How do you do it?
Speaker 1: And I think it's so appropriate for this week with
Speaker 1: Tom going back to New England. Melissa, you started your
Speaker 1: career with these two together with and I just have
Speaker 1: goose bumps thinking about it. What is this game for you?
Speaker 1: Like this week? I know you're not working it, but
Speaker 1: I know you're part of all the conversations and just
Speaker 1: your career started with Tom and Belichick. It's incredible, I know,
Speaker 1: and it's been so fun to watch evolved. And I
Speaker 1: think one and I know you're good friends with Tom,
Speaker 1: so back at you on that end, because this relationship
Speaker 1: with Tom, when you and I are both like, he's
Speaker 1: the best you know. Um, So here's how I feel
Speaker 1: about all of it. You know, Bill doesn't like to
Speaker 1: we all know, typical Bill in a in a press
Speaker 1: conference and what you hear and he says, I've addressed
Speaker 1: it and I've talked about this, and it was he's
Speaker 1: basically referring to the you know, the team's statement when
Speaker 1: Tom you know, that's how we addressed it. And you
Speaker 1: know he's not a man of many words. So here's
Speaker 1: how I feel. I mean, I feel like watching them
Speaker 1: accomplish what they accomplished. Obviously, well we'll never see anything
Speaker 1: like that in the history of I don't know anything, right,
Speaker 1: And you got to cover that, you got to be
Speaker 1: in the middle of that. That was like you're Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's time. That's awesome. I'll never forget after um, when
Speaker 1: when I was a day show and Tom had won
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and it was so early in his
Speaker 1: career that he literally I remember that the room was
Speaker 1: on the other side of the stadium where we set
Speaker 1: up for the Today Show, and he just walked with
Speaker 1: me the whole time, and he was dating Bridget. He
Speaker 1: was with Bridget Bridget at the time. And I said,
Speaker 1: has it last night? He said, oh, you you know,
Speaker 1: in the whole we just talked the whole time back
Speaker 1: there and then and then how everything changed, you know,
Speaker 1: since then. But he's never going to a guy who
Speaker 1: I remember, even from an nflball I'd be like, I'm
Speaker 1: not you know, I don't want to do the post
Speaker 1: game or even at the Pro Bowl. He would I
Speaker 1: have to drag someone in to go get him to UM.
Speaker 1: But I'll just never remember that moment because it was
Speaker 1: sort of before it all blew up, you know. He
Speaker 1: was he had just one and we walked. We just
Speaker 1: walked in the tunnel like it was in crazy surreal anyway,
Speaker 1: So for them to accomplish, you know, we know Belichick
Speaker 1: and the way he is, and we know the Patriot
Speaker 1: Way and how everybody's you know, treated the same there,
Speaker 1: and you know, you hear what Tom Brady's dad says
Speaker 1: about it. And how I rate he is and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know Brady not getting the star treatment. But um,
Speaker 1: I look at Brady now and how much fun he's having.
Speaker 1: You know, It's it's almost like the way you and
Speaker 1: I are having fun, you know, like later in our careers.
Speaker 1: I can't now right then right earlier in my career
Speaker 1: and then I had that much fun then because I
Speaker 1: was but it granted, you have to earn all that right,
Speaker 1: and you have to you have to be serious during
Speaker 1: those times otherwise you don't keep what you achieve. But
Speaker 1: to see him kind of like surrounding himself with all
Speaker 1: these guys that he wants in Tampa and then we
Speaker 1: know Bruce, you and I Bruce arians is like the antithesis,
Speaker 1: right of Belli cocktail. I mean, so you know during
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you running off the field with him
Speaker 1: during hattime. He says these things during the games and
Speaker 1: he's just it's all just okay. You know. Um you
Speaker 1: almost feel like he's winging it in a way, but
Speaker 1: not winging it right. It's just such a different approach.
Speaker 1: And so you know, to see Tom celebrating you know,
Speaker 1: last year and Tampa after it all, and then to
Speaker 1: have Gronk and then and then these commercials keep coming
Speaker 1: out and all these fun things like time for these commercials.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean just big personality and just and
Speaker 1: and and really being able to show this whole other
Speaker 1: side and granted, like I go back, it goes hand
Speaker 1: in hand with like putting your head down and really
Speaker 1: earning it while he was you know, Patriots, but it's
Speaker 1: just a totally different style. Um. But I think you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's funny that they just lost. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not funny for them, but the Brady coming off
Speaker 1: loss is like the worst thing, the bad loss. Right
Speaker 1: you were there, you were you were like, there was
Speaker 1: that was my sideline. Yes, um, you know when he's
Speaker 1: the leading rusher, right, he's the leading it's it's not good.
Speaker 1: But I think him coming off a loss and then
Speaker 1: you know, I was watching him say, you know, he
Speaker 1: knows exactly what the wind's gonna feel like when he
Speaker 1: goes there. He knows exactly what you know, everything, like
Speaker 1: just the whole feel of when he goes back there,
Speaker 1: what that's gonna because he's so you know, his attention
Speaker 1: to detail and his chastianism. But I think it's exciting
Speaker 1: that it's come. I don't love the whole I don't
Speaker 1: love the whole talk and dynamic of Belichick versus Brady
Speaker 1: and the whole thing, because I don't think it needs
Speaker 1: to be like those two pity they accomplished what the
Speaker 1: twenty years? Okay, twenty years a long time, right, Aaron T.
Speaker 1: I've been married twenty years and I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 1: ready to walk away because I'm not not even close
Speaker 1: today exactly. Um. Three kids like that, I think have
Speaker 1: COVID right now. Three God love you for doing this.
Speaker 1: It's a little stressful at times, but that's a long
Speaker 1: time to be with somebody, right, And you know, I
Speaker 1: know that they they just didn't They had a certain
Speaker 1: type of relationship right a business and and that's the
Speaker 1: way Belichick is, right, and you know, they play golf together.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't do much, you know outside of and I
Speaker 1: don't know, you know what coach and player do a
Speaker 1: ton outside it, but they just had that that relationship,
Speaker 1: and so but I'm excited for him. I'm excited for
Speaker 1: Brady that you know, he you know, like live it
Speaker 1: up after after accomplishing what he accomplished and earning all
Speaker 1: of that what was your sweat and anxiety level when
Speaker 1: you would talk to Belichick at halftime? Mine is an
Speaker 1: all time high. I mean it should be a deodorant commercial.
Speaker 1: It's like out of control. I can't call myself similar
Speaker 1: you and I could compare notes of who just give me?
Speaker 1: Who did to you? Anybody? Oh my gosh, of all people?
Speaker 1: And I work with him now, Steve Maryuchi, like he
Speaker 1: was what is my favorite? But he was? You know,
Speaker 1: you'd have a guy I would always say, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Herm Edwards would be like, you don't need to run,
Speaker 1: slow down, you can. It was just so kind, right, Melissa.
Speaker 1: There's no bra support out there that makes running after
Speaker 1: a coach look at I mean, I want to say
Speaker 1: to them, I'm holding my cliffboard and running like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you do me a favorite? Like you don't want
Speaker 1: to fall, you don't want to slip. You look like
Speaker 1: a buffoon. So I love that about her. Okay, what
Speaker 1: else is amazing? Yeah? No, I mean the funny thing
Speaker 1: is is also that I said to you earlier like that.
Speaker 1: I feel like I wish I could go back now
Speaker 1: with the confidence that I have and go back because
Speaker 1: I did want a football at six or twenty seven, right,
Speaker 1: Like you can get bullied a little bit, right, And
Speaker 1: now I think it's the flip side where I would
Speaker 1: just I just wouldn't take it, right. But then okay
Speaker 1: personally for me, for me, it was hard, you know,
Speaker 1: covering like Major League Baseball, like all these it's being
Speaker 1: single report and I don't know how you felt about it,
Speaker 1: but you feel you need you need these guys numbers.
Speaker 1: You feel weird asking for their numbers because it can
Speaker 1: be completely misconstrued. Right. I remember standing around like batting
Speaker 1: practice with some guys and I think there's like hostake
Speaker 1: and sake or I don't know, mark require a rise, right,
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, how like it is so going to
Speaker 1: be even misconstrued when I asked these guys for their numbers. Um.
Speaker 1: And then doesn't it piss you off when reporters go
Speaker 1: on air mail and then say I was texting was
Speaker 1: so and so last night? And I always think if
Speaker 1: I ever said that in a report, it would be
Speaker 1: like you like, you know, it's like, yeah, like I
Speaker 1: was talking to so and so late into the night.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Yeah, there's all these like you know, double
Speaker 1: standards and everything, but I'll never forget Andy Reid. And
Speaker 1: he said it on air, Andy Reid. The week before
Speaker 1: they you know, say, they'd had like a three touchdown
Speaker 1: lead at halftime, ended up losing, and the exact same
Speaker 1: thing happened that week. So I said, you know, coach,
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you. You know, it's half time, you
Speaker 1: gotta And he's like, I can't believe you just asked
Speaker 1: me that. And he told me later he came up
Speaker 1: and apologize and he said he was stroking and al
Speaker 1: Michael's you know, as I threw it up to I
Speaker 1: was like, of course she asked him that, like, of
Speaker 1: course she has to ask you. You reported that or
Speaker 1: that was live was But to this day, any to
Speaker 1: this day will up and say, you know that was
Speaker 1: I was just joking. I'm like, well, okay, no, it
Speaker 1: was written about in every paper the next day. No
Speaker 1: one thought you were joking. Um Belichick. So Belichick, you know,
Speaker 1: I think just because we all started out together, like
Speaker 1: you said, um, because I really started Monday and football.
Speaker 1: It was two thousand and and Brady hadn't even you know, begun.
Speaker 1: He would It was crazy. I would go in the
Speaker 1: locker room at halftime and he wouldn't say, like we
Speaker 1: weren't allowed to say that we were in the locker room.
Speaker 1: But I'll, you know, I give the report and then
Speaker 1: I would say straight, you know something code were like
Speaker 1: straight from the locker room, you know, or something like that.
Speaker 1: But I had some pretty I had some good access there.
Speaker 1: But still I still get I don't know how you
Speaker 1: are you and I've talked about this, I still get
Speaker 1: nervous when I interview any I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: I don't like when people shut me down. I also
Speaker 1: don't like controversial interviews. I don't like putting people in this.
Speaker 1: A lot of our job is kind of putting people
Speaker 1: on the spot. Are asking like the really, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't that that still makes me like squeamish, which
Speaker 1: would be hard, which is hard for probably because it's
Speaker 1: our job and is what we do on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: But if you feel the same way, oh, I totally do.
Speaker 1: I'm not there too. It's not that I'm not there
Speaker 1: to break stories, but I just, yeah, I hate asking.
Speaker 1: You gotta do it. You have to ask the tough questions,
Speaker 1: but you don't want people to feel like you're a
Speaker 1: pain in the act. Or be make them uncomfortable. But
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, obviously you being who they
Speaker 1: you are, everyone knows you have a job to do.
Speaker 1: I feel like such a fan girl right now asking
Speaker 1: these questions. People ask me, but favorite interview while you
Speaker 1: worked Monday Night Football? Favorite interview while I worked on
Speaker 1: the night football? Also? Was Brett amazing? Because that is
Speaker 1: my favorite player growing and so yeah, I was he
Speaker 1: amazing because I feel like I watched so many interviews
Speaker 1: with you and him, and I just was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is what I want to do. Brett's hot and
Speaker 1: cold because well this last Super Bowl, he thought he
Speaker 1: was having catchup and he had like to bask right
Speaker 1: before we were doing an interview of all the Hall
Speaker 1: of famers and stuff. He had he just ingested. I
Speaker 1: can't remember. I think it was too bask. It was
Speaker 1: something very good. He was all red and sweating and
Speaker 1: we were laughing really hard. Um. He would either hang
Speaker 1: out with you, you know, at the facility and everybody
Speaker 1: and just kind of want to hang around for hours,
Speaker 1: or he was sort of I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if he gets no, I don't know. He was
Speaker 1: sort of hot and cold. Um, I mean don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong. I just think, you know, it depends when
Speaker 1: you like the times you hit these certain players and
Speaker 1: like what's going on? Yep. So it's just funny how
Speaker 1: you know. Once well, I remember going back to I
Speaker 1: think it was I think it was Hostaken Sack or somebody, um, yes,
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, did Peter Gammon's right all
Speaker 1: your I came in. It was one of the first
Speaker 1: things I've ever done, and he said, you know, did
Speaker 1: Peter Gammon's right? All your questions? And you just gotta
Speaker 1: like and and and and thankfully Aaron, because of I'm
Speaker 1: not saying because of you and me, but just you know,
Speaker 1: women that came before, hopefully you know now it's commonplace, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, there's an era where I
Speaker 1: covered a made for TV golf event and like, you know,
Speaker 1: guys like Tiger and Sergio they get it. They get
Speaker 1: that we're a part of all of this, and like
Speaker 1: what a made for TV event? And Jack Nicholas, you know,
Speaker 1: said something like you might be pretty to look at,
Speaker 1: but your standing, you know, way too close to my
Speaker 1: line or something like that on t V. So you
Speaker 1: know that's somebody listen, that is I just think you
Speaker 1: and I know that that is like part of everything
Speaker 1: that we dealt with, just had that thick scan. I
Speaker 1: meane times have changed a lot in the last couple
Speaker 1: of years. Times have changed and that man be tolerated.
Speaker 1: Uh Um. But you know it made it made me
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you stronger. I mean, it wasn't mean
Speaker 1: to do. It wasn't fun to go through it at
Speaker 1: the time. Um, But but you know what then, I mean,
Speaker 1: we were really like women in a man's world totally.
Speaker 1: So it just takes you know, it takes I think
Speaker 1: it takes time, like anything used to that. Who I
Speaker 1: mean besides Belichick, who else was your like? I mean
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's your favorite, but I always like
Speaker 1: and I'm so envious how you can get him who
Speaker 1: was so great to you? Um, who was always be
Speaker 1: so you know, thankful and grateful for right. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think, well, the whole thing, and I'm sure you
Speaker 1: find this like with the whole Monday night football name
Speaker 1: behind you. I could call anybody and sort of saying
Speaker 1: this is any college coach. I could call anybody, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's okay. Yeah, I mean, and that's why I say
Speaker 1: I wish you know social media had been big back
Speaker 1: then or other things had been big back then, because
Speaker 1: then you could really sort of like taken, I could
Speaker 1: have much more so taken advantage of that whole platform.
Speaker 1: I feel like, god, that's so interesting because I hate it.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, obviously it's had a good and bad
Speaker 1: effect on my life, but that I never thought of
Speaker 1: that for you. You know that's so interesting. Well, well
Speaker 1: you might hate it, and I do think it's incredibly draining,
Speaker 1: and I think it's very very invasive. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think it's incredible, like what you do. And I mean
Speaker 1: Carrissa is like constantly I remember she would I think
Speaker 1: I texted her when this happened. So we have a
Speaker 1: seminar every year for NFL in Augusty do you hear this?
Speaker 1: And they put her off like they said, like they said,
Speaker 1: examples of someone who brands themselves really well, and they
Speaker 1: put Carissa up there. You know, it's incredible how you
Speaker 1: guys have like branched out in your clothing line. I'm
Speaker 1: so proud of you for all of I mean, it's awesome.
Speaker 1: But going back to you know who, and I just
Speaker 1: did um sort of. I did an interview for a
Speaker 1: documentary on him, But um, he's not someone I covered you.
Speaker 1: Someone I worked with was John Matten, though I have
Speaker 1: to say it's on Madden. Came up to me at
Speaker 1: first and he said, you know, I never valued the
Speaker 1: sideline position until I worked with you. And he's like,
Speaker 1: and it was just, you know, here's this larger than
Speaker 1: life guy who has had just this Hall of fame
Speaker 1: career as a coach, then broadcasting and all. You know,
Speaker 1: people knew because I was on the now you're doing
Speaker 1: I think some Madden stuff, but like, yeah, so I
Speaker 1: would you know, little kids would know me just from
Speaker 1: the video games Football. We did the video game and um,
Speaker 1: you know, and he took me under his wing and
Speaker 1: just was the kindest, most fun. We had so much
Speaker 1: fun because of his claustrophobia. You know that we were
Speaker 1: always on the Madden Cruiser, always going around and you
Speaker 1: know what that's like, just the camaraderie. I mean, I
Speaker 1: see you with your whole crew, and that's your family
Speaker 1: of our lives, right, this family. So when you're on
Speaker 1: the road and you're living like that and to have
Speaker 1: those kind of experiences, it just makes it, um, you know, incredible.
Speaker 1: So to answer your question, like, I don't think anybody necessarily,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of stands out other than you know,
Speaker 1: Madden and kind of cool and of views, because everybody
Speaker 1: talking about that that Monday night Football, which was the
Speaker 1: highest rated show in tell Time. Behind you, it's sort
Speaker 1: of this whole thing in and of itself. You've touched
Speaker 1: on this a few times, and I want to leave
Speaker 1: you with this, and then you have to promise to
Speaker 1: come back when Chris is on, because again, I I
Speaker 1: mean twenty three Michael Jordan's is our everything, but you
Speaker 1: are right up there with him, and she's going to
Speaker 1: be so pissed about this. But I didn't want to
Speaker 1: tell her you were coming on because she would make
Speaker 1: her feel worse. You just keep talking about the things
Speaker 1: you wish you had known about, or someone you know
Speaker 1: could give you advice about later in your career, maybe
Speaker 1: enjoying it a little bit more. I'm there, what kind
Speaker 1: of advice would you give or anybody? I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: always asked what would you advice would you give? Women
Speaker 1: starting out? But I want women starting out and women
Speaker 1: that are hanging on at forty two years old, and
Speaker 1: I wait, did you just call me a hanger Honor. No, no,
Speaker 1: I am I'm the hanger, Honor. I'm the hanging on
Speaker 1: at forty two. But I love that you said. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear what you would recommend to Aaron Andrews. No,
Speaker 1: I'm serious. You know, I look up to you so much.
Speaker 1: But I'm interested in what kind of advice Molistas Stark
Speaker 1: has for anyone in this industry. Oh, for anyone in
Speaker 1: this industry. What I would saying is, you know, the
Speaker 1: biggest key is um talking to everybody you can, and
Speaker 1: and and knowing what you're talking about, especially for where
Speaker 1: I mean, because I think women can get into this
Speaker 1: industry for the wrong reasons or just thinking Okay, hey
Speaker 1: it's fun and I want to be on football and
Speaker 1: all of that. But I think you know, like you
Speaker 1: and I were just talking about getting those phone numbers
Speaker 1: and having those relationships and forming all of that. And
Speaker 1: I've been lucky to do that, you know, over twenty
Speaker 1: plus years, you know, with football and and so of
Speaker 1: you and so developing those contacts and relationships and and
Speaker 1: you know, earning respect. It's everything you and I have
Speaker 1: just talked about, like the challenges and and and people
Speaker 1: will challenge you constantly, constantly, constantly. You've got to be
Speaker 1: ready for that. You've got to be prepared so that
Speaker 1: you don't fall when that happens, right. And I think
Speaker 1: when I first started out of it ESPN, we had
Speaker 1: sort of like a talent someone who taught you. She said,
Speaker 1: what's your job? It was sort of a quiz and
Speaker 1: I don't think I answered it right, but she was like,
Speaker 1: the answer was to get the story, like to get
Speaker 1: that nugget, like that nugget. And I just remember the
Speaker 1: first game that I did, and it was a Patriots game.
Speaker 1: What was it? Yeah, what was the first game he did?
Speaker 1: So it was the Hall of Fame game. I did,
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. That was the first game that
Speaker 1: I did for Monday Night Football was Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: And so it was it was Dennis Miller, it was
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson, right, it was Dan Fouts al and um,
Speaker 1: it was way back in the day when we had
Speaker 1: those that huge team on one and oh my spoof
Speaker 1: on It's so funny because my on Saturday Live and
Speaker 1: my friends, my friends thought that they're like, you've made it,
Speaker 1: you know, because I played you on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 1: Who played you? Um, it was my It was really
Speaker 1: early on my Routolph like he's like my sweat he
Speaker 1: was like, and my sweater sets from Um, I didn't
Speaker 1: remember the brand whatever, but I would always we were
Speaker 1: we were. It was ra Floren that like you, I
Speaker 1: always had sweater sets Club, she said, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what is Club Monico? I don't even as I don't
Speaker 1: have Saturday. I live on my my resume at all.
Speaker 1: So that's so freaking awesome. Like, okay, so Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame game, Yeah, go on. And the thing is, I
Speaker 1: can't even find it. I think it's on like a VHS, sir.
Speaker 1: I I. I was trying to tell my kids that
Speaker 1: I was on Saturday, and they're like, wait what I
Speaker 1: can't find But um okay, So Hall of Fame game
Speaker 1: and I found out from the Patriots that they had
Speaker 1: find their players. Um he it was for I can't remember,
Speaker 1: like if anybody walked in one minute, let's just say,
Speaker 1: I can't even remember, because once you have kids, I
Speaker 1: think you forget everything. But they find their players for
Speaker 1: something like crazy, like no one could believe it. And
Speaker 1: the fines were like, and I don't know why. It
Speaker 1: was such a big nugget, but like defind like a
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand dollars and I didn't think
Speaker 1: it was that big a deal. And Freda deli Are
Speaker 1: producer was like everyone's jaws dropped and they thought and
Speaker 1: I was like, Dennis could have it, Dennis can have
Speaker 1: fun with it. Take it. You know, They're like, this
Speaker 1: is yours and this is and so I guess that
Speaker 1: was like one of those you know nuggets. It's one
Speaker 1: of those things you know, no one else has that
Speaker 1: because of relationships and because you've talked to people, and
Speaker 1: that was that was less common in those days, right,
Speaker 1: Because now I say to you social media and the
Speaker 1: relationship and and you know you have so much more
Speaker 1: access I feel like to these athletes and you know,
Speaker 1: so much more. But in those days, you know that
Speaker 1: that was not as common to get that kind of
Speaker 1: information light. But that's so that would be my advice
Speaker 1: to anybody is like, you know, you constantly would have
Speaker 1: the information that you know somebody else doesn't, right, you
Speaker 1: always have the infort that somebody else doesn't stop. I
Speaker 1: love you. How how's NFL three six to you going?
Speaker 1: You just talked to my boy Devin White, and I
Speaker 1: need to watch that one. Do you die for him?
Speaker 1: I'm like, be careful on those horses, get down off
Speaker 1: this side of the road. Devon White an amazing guy.
Speaker 1: And when he went through and then just like his horses.
Speaker 1: Like so for people who don't know, you know, he
Speaker 1: lost his his stepbrother when he was thirteen years old.
Speaker 1: It was his best friend. He died in the car accident.
Speaker 1: And so for him, those horses. I mean, everybody knows
Speaker 1: about the horses, but frim, it's not it's not just
Speaker 1: a hobby. It's it's like part of his soul, you know,
Speaker 1: it's read to cope with the loss of his brother
Speaker 1: and the whole thing. And uh what what a great guy.
Speaker 1: And we you know NFL three sixty is like it's
Speaker 1: like a throwback because I I can barely get my
Speaker 1: kids to watch it because you know, everyone has a
Speaker 1: d D right now and like, what have you done
Speaker 1: from me? And then they're like what, I'm gonna sit
Speaker 1: down and watch a six minute piece. But it's like
Speaker 1: I get to go back holistic pieces that um, you
Speaker 1: know I used to do, like outside the lines for
Speaker 1: you and and you know, you get to dig and
Speaker 1: you get to see different sides of these people and
Speaker 1: and these players, and um, they tug at your heart
Speaker 1: these stories. You know, I cry at half of the
Speaker 1: things that we do. But um, yeah it's really cool.
Speaker 1: But but you know, it's a nice mix with like
Speaker 1: I'm going, oh, I'm going to London next week. You
Speaker 1: are hard makeup on the London sideline? Girl do I
Speaker 1: what did I do? You have hair and makeup? That's
Speaker 1: that's the text, Crisa, Melissa and I have where's your
Speaker 1: hair and makeup? Three way? The three ways? By the way,
Speaker 1: I just I just found somebody great for you. And
Speaker 1: you have some in New York, but I just found something.
Speaker 1: I'll take everything. Yeah, it's great to find something. Nowadays
Speaker 1: with COVID, they want they want one person to do it,
Speaker 1: and it's hard to find for all those women, it's
Speaker 1: hard to find one person that can do both. Um.
Speaker 1: So I found hair and makeup. And that's where I
Speaker 1: was hit with the football in the head, Like years
Speaker 1: and years ago. I was just so happy that I
Speaker 1: liked my hair makeup on the day that I was
Speaker 1: hit in the head, because I kept replaying over and
Speaker 1: over again, and I was like, yes, at least I
Speaker 1: like them. I liked the Yeah, I'm going back over there. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll be watching and we love having our o G
Speaker 1: on the sideline. Melissa's dark and I I know, I
Speaker 1: get it. I get annoyed when girls are like, I've
Speaker 1: watched you forever, but your skin, your hair, your outfit,
Speaker 1: all of it. I just bowed down to you, lady.
Speaker 1: You should be doing moisturizer commercials. You look like you're like,
Speaker 1: what is your secret? I don't even really, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not into all those Are you into
Speaker 1: like products and all sorts of things and you try
Speaker 1: things out? Okay, you yeah, but but I'm still a
Speaker 1: guy like I can put like the same crop on
Speaker 1: my face and call it a day. Like I don't
Speaker 1: know how to do anything, So I don't know how
Speaker 1: to do And that was the hard thing during COVID
Speaker 1: is having to learn how to do Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: did not know how to do a thing. Um when
Speaker 1: when we're lucky enough, I should say it all all
Speaker 1: the why we are so lucky to get our hair
Speaker 1: and makeup and that is like a favorite part of
Speaker 1: the job. But we're sitting there. I'm usually sitting there
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm getting last minute information or
Speaker 1: I'm going over scripts, or so I don't have time
Speaker 1: because I thought, how do I not know how to
Speaker 1: do this? But I'm really not paying attention exactly. So UM, well,
Speaker 1: I like you, I love seeing you. I love you
Speaker 1: so much. Thank you for uh for coming on last minute.

Speaker 1: guys just respected the hell and not respected, respect the
Speaker 1: hell out of her. And when I'm still asking guys
