Speaker 1: You had a baby and I have not had a child. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm just crying in my interviews now. I feel
Speaker 1: like you're in a different place in your life. I
Speaker 1: really do. I feel like you are. You are totally
Speaker 1: this bitter bitch that I was before and angry at
Speaker 1: the world. Calm Down with Aeron and Carissa is a
Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Hello, what up? Girl? You agreat? I look like I
Speaker 2: woke up at four thirty.
Speaker 1: You look like you are on a shoot and ready
Speaker 1: to tackle an interview. I tackled an interview through an
Speaker 1: interception and got called for past interference. I will get
Speaker 1: to all that in a second. I'm in Seattle too.
Speaker 1: I just did an interview with Gino Smith. Aaron had
Speaker 1: her preseason game last night, and the Saints and the Texans.
Speaker 1: You just referenced it. We love a four thirty am
Speaker 1: wake up call. Football season is back. We are not complaining.
Speaker 1: We love every second of it. So I want to
Speaker 1: start with you because there are so many cute moments.
Speaker 1: Instagram already told me that facial expression in the interview
Speaker 1: you will Anderson's mom. I was texting you again, like
Speaker 1: I do every time I see you on television you
Speaker 1: do and look like a like fangirl. Videotape you are
Speaker 1: we still saying videotape use my phone to record you
Speaker 1: on television, Like I've never seen you before, but you
Speaker 1: looked adorable and orange.
Speaker 2: How was it? How did it feel to get back
Speaker 2: on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: It was fun, you know, preseason games as you know,
Speaker 1: you did the Eagles and Cold Anthony richardson Okay.
Speaker 2: Go yep tour. Yeah, he is large and in charge,
Speaker 2: all six four two and forty pounds of him. Yeap,
Speaker 2: that's awesome.
Speaker 1: It was great, fun to be back with the boys.
Speaker 1: I mean, Greg just his hysterical self as always. I mean,
Speaker 1: we got to get him on this podcast. Enough is
Speaker 1: enough he will Yeah, I gotta talk to us about
Speaker 1: that hair. It had had more volume than I've ever
Speaker 1: had in my whole life. Right when he popped up,
Speaker 1: I wanted to be like, whoa Greg? What are we
Speaker 1: doing with his hair? You adorable thing. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite moments is he came to dinner in the outfit
Speaker 1: he traveled with, which is fine.
Speaker 2: He's a guy. He just got off a plane. He
Speaker 2: walks in.
Speaker 1: We're all so excited, we're cheersing each other like it's
Speaker 1: literally a pair of sweat like sweatshorts and a sweatshirt.
Speaker 2: It's fine.
Speaker 1: And then we wake up the next morning and we
Speaker 1: go to our production meeting. Anyway, he walks in with
Speaker 1: the same outfit, and Kevin Burkhardt is amazing because he's
Speaker 1: so sarcastic, straight faced, like just and he goes, Hey, Greg, did.
Speaker 2: You pack a suit for tonight? It's just funny. He goes, oh, what,
Speaker 2: like I can't hear this, Like, yeah, he's awesome. We
Speaker 2: got to get him on.
Speaker 1: So any who, it was great to go back see everybody.
Speaker 1: I was on the Texans sideline and we had so
Speaker 1: many San Francisco forty nine Ers games over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years. We became pretty close with Demiico Ryans,
Speaker 1: who I would gladly give my kid to him and
Speaker 1: let him be the coach. He's just awesome. His energy
Speaker 1: they've got, you know. I'll be honest, I don't know
Speaker 1: much about the Houston Texans because we don't get to
Speaker 1: cover them. But when you're doing a preseason game and
Speaker 1: you don't know who you're gonna see, it's like studying
Speaker 1: for something. I've never studied for. Because I can't say
Speaker 1: the SATs or acts because it didn't study for him.
Speaker 1: Did you have to take I've heard kids don't have
Speaker 1: to take the SATs anymore, but I don't think.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that's not a support to anyone.
Speaker 1: I didn't do well either, and I'm lucky I even
Speaker 1: made it to the appointment. Though you're really smart. No,
Speaker 1: I'm shocked you made it to the appointment. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you're so smart. Ohwet. But I study my number two
Speaker 1: pencil and they have so many great guys. Guys that
Speaker 1: played last year, Guys that played you know that they
Speaker 1: drafted last year, Guys that they got this year. The
Speaker 1: two guys I got to interview on the sidelines were
Speaker 1: absolutely adorable.
Speaker 2: Met John Metchi for the first.
Speaker 1: Time, who was the Alabama kid that tore his leg
Speaker 1: up and then was diagnosed with leukemia. We sat on
Speaker 1: the field and talked to him for a minute. He
Speaker 1: walked away, and Greg and the guys were.
Speaker 2: Like, this guy's awesome.
Speaker 1: Like the cool thing about Houston is I can't wait
Speaker 1: for them to get better and move up so we
Speaker 1: can start covering them because they have great fricking guys
Speaker 1: and that has to do with Demiico. That has to
Speaker 1: do with the organization obviously, you know, needing to get better.
Speaker 2: It's exciting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always interesting when because to your point, given
Speaker 1: that they're in the AFC, you don't get a lot
Speaker 1: of those assignments. But it's nice to see a guy
Speaker 1: come in. We see Robert Sala doing the same thing.
Speaker 1: Of course off that defensive coordinator tree that it comes
Speaker 1: out of San Francisco and the Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 2: John Lynch group.
Speaker 1: But like to see them go into organizations and just
Speaker 1: you know, we we have such an affinity for like
Speaker 1: that that that father figure, right Like I think about
Speaker 1: coaches that same way when they go in and they
Speaker 1: just change the culture of a place. That's exactly what
Speaker 1: I feel like in Seattle, I did something I have
Speaker 1: never done in an interview before.
Speaker 2: So of course I'm from Seattle.
Speaker 1: I love you know what this city has done the twelves,
Speaker 1: my nieces and nephews, when you know the heyday of
Speaker 1: the Legion of Boom and when they were on their
Speaker 1: run and like the you know, the toast of the NFL,
Speaker 1: and you know what they did last year with Gina
Speaker 1: with Russell leaving and then Gino coming in giving him
Speaker 1: that contract extension where really it's like, you're our guy,
Speaker 1: You're no longer this one and done. Having consecutive years
Speaker 1: of one year contracts and giving him that QB one
Speaker 1: stamp for the next three years is really awesome to see.
Speaker 2: This team is so young, they're going to be great.
Speaker 2: They're really good.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons to be excited if you're
Speaker 1: a Seahawks fan. Okay, we get all that, but I
Speaker 1: read this letter. So he wrote a letter to the twelves. Well,
Speaker 1: the twelves, if you guys don't follow football, is there's
Speaker 1: eleven guys on either side of the balls stalling on air.
Speaker 1: I started crying in the interview. I started crying in
Speaker 1: the interview when I read this excerpt to him, which
Speaker 1: I don't like to have notes in an interview or
Speaker 1: like read off stuff. I like to just have a conversation.
Speaker 1: But this is the first time that I've ever had
Speaker 1: my phone next to me in an interview because I
Speaker 1: wanted to read this part to him and get his reaction.
Speaker 1: So Gino writes a letter to the fans of Seattle,
Speaker 1: basically thanking them for standing by him and all this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff and how this isn't the end of
Speaker 1: his career.
Speaker 2: It's his twelve eleventh season.
Speaker 1: It's just the start, okay, but this is the last line,
Speaker 1: not even just in the NFL, but in life. Anyone
Speaker 1: who might be feeling like a disappointment, or who might
Speaker 1: be getting pegged as someone who can't achieve certain things,
Speaker 1: maybe they can look at me and say, Gino, he
Speaker 1: kept grinding, he kept believing in himself, and eventually he
Speaker 1: found a city that believes in him back. I started
Speaker 1: crying while reading that. So embarrassing though He's like I
Speaker 1: look at him and I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm crying,
Speaker 1: and I got so emotional because I was like, I think,
Speaker 1: just this idea that like Russell leaves and like it's
Speaker 1: all over, you know what I mean, And like Russell
Speaker 1: was incredible for the city. He was incredible, you know,
Speaker 1: bringing a super Bowl here almost two but like it
Speaker 1: doesn't end with one person, and like to watch Gino
Speaker 1: in his journey, I just got so emotional crying and
Speaker 1: I had to apologize like a hundred times. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, this is crazy, but I just think
Speaker 1: it's so sweet and this is why we love sports
Speaker 1: so much. That here's a guy that got you know,
Speaker 1: his famous quote. They wrote me off, but I didn't
Speaker 1: write back that this is a guy that finally gets
Speaker 1: his opportunity, and I'm so excited, not only as like
Speaker 1: a Seahawks fan unapologetically, but also just for him. It's
Speaker 1: a big I love, a big fuck you to anybody
Speaker 1: in life that gets these other opportunities and they make
Speaker 1: the most of it. So yeah, so I cried in
Speaker 1: an interview and I had to pull it together and
Speaker 1: I couldn't even do that, So yeah, it was very embarrassing.
Speaker 1: But he was so sweet and received it nicely. And
Speaker 1: I will never be invited back to do it. Step
Speaker 1: though Hawks. I think that's so wonderful. It's so touching,
Speaker 1: and it's here's a word I can't stand when people
Speaker 1: say organic. No, I love it. That's kind of how
Speaker 1: I felt last night. And there's a weird thing that's
Speaker 1: happening with me after having this kid. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: I'm turning into a softie, but you know, I walked
Speaker 1: away from again a lot of kids I haven't met,
Speaker 1: I haven't done college, and forever I didn't know will
Speaker 1: Anderson Junior. I didn't know about his story until I
Speaker 1: started reading about him and lo and behold, his mom
Speaker 1: and dad are on this sideline. So I just said,
Speaker 1: I'll go walk up and say, hello, mister Anderson, I'm
Speaker 1: Aaron Andrews. I'm going to interview your son. Can I
Speaker 1: ask you a couple questions so I could get.
Speaker 2: To know him. His mom comes.
Speaker 1: Around the corner and she goes, do you know who
Speaker 1: they are? And I said, but do you know who
Speaker 1: you are? And she goes, Aaron and it was just
Speaker 1: there from Georgia. I give her this big hug. She's
Speaker 1: wearing these adorable fifty one you know earrings, She's gotten
Speaker 1: these gear on, and I just said, how you doing? Like,
Speaker 1: are you enjoying this? I can't wait to meet your son.
Speaker 1: We are so excited to be here. It was just
Speaker 1: I had heard so much about this kid. Nick Saban
Speaker 1: loves him. You know, Demiko Ryans had to have him.
Speaker 1: And then you see why you meet this mom and dad.
Speaker 1: They're talking to me. They're sitting there talking about how
Speaker 1: he got his degree in three years, that he seems
Speaker 1: so much more relaxed than he did at Alabama because
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to worry about school work.
Speaker 2: He fell in love with.
Speaker 1: You, and I'm just like, I've got goosbumps because they
Speaker 1: are the reason why he is who he is. And
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, can I just get yourself so I can
Speaker 1: talk to you about how to raise a kid? She
Speaker 1: has five daughters. Anyways, I stand there with this kid
Speaker 1: who couldn't have been more humble. His nickname's a terminator. Know,
Speaker 1: this is their organization in a nutshell, and he's like
Speaker 1: this and just smiling and couldn't have been more lovely.
Speaker 1: And I just said, I want Max Stell to be
Speaker 1: this kid now. He's not going to be a six
Speaker 1: or five linebacker that rushed the baby's got.
Speaker 2: He's working off a good genetics right there.
Speaker 1: But I text you and it was so sweet to
Speaker 1: see that exchange and to see his mom in the
Speaker 1: stands like dancing and just enjoying the whole experience. I
Speaker 1: was thinking about you, and I haven't had a chance
Speaker 1: to talk to you because you were flying and I
Speaker 1: was doing this interview where I was crying, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask.
Speaker 2: You how you feel.
Speaker 1: This is the first time that you've come home from
Speaker 1: doing your job to your baby, Like did you think,
Speaker 1: like when did you're like, oh my god, I'm not
Speaker 1: going home and like like dropping off.
Speaker 2: My bags and going to a workout. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I'm or right, yeah, like I'm going home to my baby,
Speaker 1: and like how did I feel like so different it
Speaker 1: was in your last twenty years of your life. Well,
Speaker 1: I ran up the stairs quickly and showered right away.
Speaker 1: I thought, of you, not to be gross in the shower,
Speaker 1: but I was like, Chris, it would do this anyways.
Speaker 1: Normally I'd like go right into my workout clothes and
Speaker 1: go to the gym, but I wanted to be like,
Speaker 1: you know, clean off any of the craft for him,
Speaker 1: fed him. You know, he was smiling. I was telling
Speaker 1: him all about my game and then he started screaming.
Speaker 1: So it was good for about good fifteen minutes and
Speaker 1: then it was like, but he's cute. I got a
Speaker 1: lot of videos and it was cool, Like a lot
Speaker 1: of guys on the sidelines. Dennis Allen texted me and
Speaker 1: just said, hey, I never got a chance to congratulate you,
Speaker 1: and it was really cool. I was talking to Cam
Speaker 1: Jordan and mark Ingram last night about having sons and
Speaker 1: you know, their advice on that and actually have ten
Speaker 1: between them. How many children are between those twos. So
Speaker 1: we were talking about will Anderson Junior and what a
Speaker 1: great guy, and they were like, he's a dog. He's
Speaker 1: a dog, And I was like, how do I raise
Speaker 1: a dog? Like how do I like, I got question in,
Speaker 1: but like, how do I have like a kid that's
Speaker 1: not going to take any and have it chued but
Speaker 1: not give it back to me?
Speaker 2: And so yeah, it was kind of what they say.
Speaker 1: They were just saying, you know, when he's up to
Speaker 1: no good, get on his ass and get him out
Speaker 1: of it. And I was like, yeah, I get that part,
Speaker 1: but I want him to be competitive. SOB's like, you
Speaker 1: guys like, now, I don't know if this kid's gonna
Speaker 1: love sports. I just brought bottom of a new football
Speaker 1: set of PJS today, But I I don't know how
Speaker 1: you get your kid to be like that. I guess
Speaker 1: it's instilled in them. He'll see Jarrett and I and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But I think it's so fun,
Speaker 1: you know now to like we've interviewed these athletes forever
Speaker 1: about what they do on the field. Now I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: how do I get my kid to like fucking be
Speaker 1: a competitor like you. You know, it's awesome, but also
Speaker 1: the mom angles interesting too, and just being that support system,
Speaker 1: being that consistent for them because the highs and the
Speaker 1: lows and like all the different things he will go on.
Speaker 2: That's really sweet. Yeah, I was like, I was.
Speaker 1: Interested to hear how you were gonna feel coming home
Speaker 1: to the baby.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I was telling the boys this that we do bathtime,
Speaker 1: which you and I discussed on the podcast, and we
Speaker 1: like to Our nanny is really great. Nanny Connie is
Speaker 1: really great about just setting the mood and she music.
Speaker 1: She plays George Williams, which is a composer and beautiful
Speaker 1: and I Kendrick and I have put together an album
Speaker 1: of like favorite movie songs that are classical and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. We've done Beatles classic, we have like Disney songs.

Speaker 1: we were doing bathtime and like he was actually chill,
Speaker 1: not freaking out, and I was like scrubbing his little
Speaker 1: head with the good smelling stuff, Carissa. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the theme music from Steel Magnolia's came on, and I
Speaker 1: am thinking of Jackson Latri Junia and I start balling, Oh,
Speaker 1: Malynn Melynn, have you seen this RASA? Where's like I
Speaker 1: gotta tell But I have not told you this at all.
Speaker 1: I think anyone that doesn't know what the theme song
Speaker 1: or the steel Magnolias is. This whole story about this
Speaker 1: big friend group and Julia Roberts is the main character
Speaker 1: along with Sally feel the mom Jillie McLain, and it
Speaker 1: has this very sad ending but there is this mental
Speaker 1: music that opens up the Yeah, okay, got it. So
Speaker 1: that song is playing as I have goosebumps right now.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I ever told you this.
Speaker 1: It was probably like a couple of weeks before Mac
Speaker 1: was born. Jarrett was out of town. I was like
Speaker 1: chilling in my bed and that was on Chris Ah.
Speaker 1: I started balling, like we've seen that movie a thousand times.
Speaker 1: I don't cry during that movie. I was a wreck
Speaker 1: like you and your Gino Smith interview. I was like,
Speaker 1: what's live excuse? You had a baby and I have
Speaker 1: not had a child. Okay, I'm just crying in my
Speaker 1: interviews now. I don't think you're made a.
Speaker 2: Different place in your life. I really do. I feel
Speaker 2: like you are.
Speaker 1: You are totally this bitter bitch that I was before
Speaker 1: and angry at the world that my heart is finally
Speaker 1: open to think.
Speaker 2: That you're feeling different.
Speaker 1: Feels like me with the Steel Magnolias theme song and
Speaker 1: me with Will Anderson Junior's mom. I'm just like I
Speaker 1: want to be you with the fifty one earrings.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's good.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's time for us to start, you know, being
Speaker 1: a little bit softer, still being by the way, wait
Speaker 1: for it nice? Did you get the song that I
Speaker 1: sent on that video?
Speaker 2: Nice? For what?
Speaker 1: Any who back to us in the studio? No, I
Speaker 1: think it's good. I think it's good that we have
Speaker 1: a softer side of us. Now, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: we can still be a little evil. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just think that I don't know the
Speaker 1: reason why I cried in the interview, but I think
Speaker 1: it's nice that we have. I don't know, we have
Speaker 1: another side to us. Oh, okay, now I'm gonna now
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be nice. Are you ready for this?

Speaker 1: couple factors at hand. There was a lot of humidity.
Speaker 1: It was one hundred and six degrees outside. I didn't

Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I think the weave needs a little washing,
Speaker 1: not this hair.
Speaker 2: This is real. But you know what I mean, the clippins.
Speaker 2: I think it's just tragging. I think it's time.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm the asshole who by the way, that
Speaker 1: humidity in Philadelphia.

Speaker 1: which she was scandalous. She was younger, call she was younger,
Speaker 1: he was married. They ended up going on tour together,
Speaker 1: I think is what happened there. Don't quote me on that,
Speaker 1: but got together. He said, I would have probably ran
Speaker 1: my career into the ground, or would have died or
Speaker 1: ran my career into the ground one way or another. Wow,
Speaker 1: can I read? Do you remember I got sober in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight? Go ahead, Sorry, No, I just
Speaker 1: was saying how he's saying that he credits his wife
Speaker 1: for keeping his life on track.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I've never been with someone that I actually would listen
Speaker 1: to or respect it, So now that I am with
Speaker 1: someone like that. I think it's really cool to have
Speaker 1: someone like as a team, like as you know, a
Speaker 1: couple in your team like you and Jared our teammates,
Speaker 1: Like I know, he puts you in your place on
Speaker 1: some things when you know that you're getting SaaS mixed
Speaker 1: ass and same for me and vice versa. To have
Speaker 1: someone that you walk through life with that has your
Speaker 1: best interest at heart, I think that's really special. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love how I just answered that. Yeah, she said, yeah,
Speaker 1: did you ever do you remember remember VH one behind
Speaker 1: the Music?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched the Faith Hill one when she was
Speaker 1: just coming out, and she said that they were at
Speaker 1: a festival or they were performing together somewhere, and this
Speaker 1: was before they were dating, and there was a little
Speaker 1: girl that wanted to meet him, and she remembered him
Speaker 1: getting down on his knees to greet the little girl.
Speaker 1: And she was like, oh, okay, so I always remember
Speaker 1: that this kiss. That's really interesting because sweet little Steve
Speaker 1: Man is so good with kids. You got to, yeah,
Speaker 1: like because you get down on their level. And I
Speaker 1: saw him do it this past weekend too, where it's
Speaker 1: like you start talking to them and you don't want
Speaker 1: to like stand over them and have this like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's very cute, fun little fact. Wait, what are we
Speaker 1: already up on time?
Speaker 2: No, we're paying. Oh oh fantastic.
Speaker 1: Okay, so wait I was supposed to go from here
Speaker 1: to do another interview, but that got rescheduled. This is
Speaker 1: our last weekend, girlfriend, We're off no, I know, but
Speaker 1: I'm seeing you on Saturday, so I mean we still
Speaker 1: have that to look forward to. Yeah, after I fly
Speaker 1: in from Dallas, I go Colorado tomorrow to see Dion.
Speaker 1: I have to do a sit down with Diana in Colorado.
Speaker 1: And then I went, you'll love this. I this was
Speaker 1: my first game ever not having a manicure done, because
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't care, Like it's just in
Speaker 1: no offense to the Texans and State Saints. It's preseason,
Speaker 1: but normally I'm on top of it. Let's set scrunchies
Speaker 1: your other I.
Speaker 2: Don't have time.
Speaker 1: So I landed and I looked at my toes last
Speaker 1: night as I was, you know, going to bed, and
Speaker 1: I looked at my fingers and I said, look good,
Speaker 1: feel good, play good. I'm going to tell you right now,
Speaker 1: Prime is gonna be pissed if I don't make an
Speaker 1: effort and get my pedicure and manage you're done. So
Speaker 1: got my nails did for Prime? Oh adorable. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: see him on Tuesday Wednesday, Wednesday, and then I fly
Speaker 1: back and then I have to go to Dallas for
Speaker 1: the big noon show to intro and tag my peace
Speaker 1: with him, which will kind of be fun because I
Speaker 1: haven't done the whole college thing since College game Day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm looking forward to that really. Yeah, well
Speaker 2: series were you on that show?
Speaker 1: Eight?
Speaker 2: That's wow, that little old show, that show. I mean,
Speaker 2: I always my.
Speaker 1: College football was restricted only to the Big Ten and
Speaker 1: we didn't have what we now have with the coverage
Speaker 1: that way, but.
Speaker 2: Like college atmosphere is special.
Speaker 1: Like I was telling you, I don't remember what we
Speaker 1: were talking about, but I'm so bummed I never got
Speaker 1: to work an SEC game like the college vibe, I
Speaker 1: mean Big Ten, like of course I had Michigan and
Speaker 1: I had Ohio State, like there was like Penn State,
Speaker 1: like there was like some great vibes, but nothing like
Speaker 1: I've heard the SEC like LSU night game.
Speaker 2: You've got you know, Florida lights out, a maze.
Speaker 1: Balls, a maze balls and then you have George Kittle
Speaker 1: this weekend, correct amando that shortage Kittle? Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: we're often then it's week one and I'm very excited
Speaker 1: that the NFL is back, and yeah, I'm going to
Speaker 1: hold back my tears and keep it moving.
Speaker 2: Go crazy. Who's crying in interviews these days?
Speaker 1: A little piece of perspective for you. John Metchi we
Speaker 1: discussed him earlier. He really this is his rookie season,
Speaker 1: but it's not He missed his rookie year last year
Speaker 1: recovering from a knee injury, but also more importantly leukemia.
Speaker 1: We asked him one of the things in camp that
Speaker 1: he was in isolation in the hospital and I talked
Speaker 1: about on air three am. They'd wake him up for boa,
Speaker 1: marrow biopsy, scans, blood transfusions, chemo, all of it. And
Speaker 1: he just talked about, you know, coming back to camp,
Speaker 1: and he said, guys just bitch about just doing little
Speaker 1: things at camp. And He's like, no, you don't understand, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to be around people, and I'm so
Speaker 1: excited to actually be at camp. So that was a
Speaker 1: nice little bit of perspective to have as I was
Speaker 1: getting on a four thirty flight. This could all go
Speaker 1: away so quickly, So remind me of that week thirteen.
Speaker 1: We always talk about it though, as we're going into
Speaker 1: this is my sixteenth year in the NFL and your
Speaker 1: I don't know how many years, how many years have
Speaker 1: you done sidelines?
Speaker 2: I am so I'm in aw of.
Speaker 1: That every time. I tell people that all the time.
Speaker 1: That is a different beast working that game, Like it's
Speaker 1: different for me, like going and doing a pregame and
Speaker 1: then I sit back and watch the game like you are.
Speaker 1: Have you ever wait for this word log, tabulated or
Speaker 1: calculated your steps like you are going, going, going. It
Speaker 1: was more when I was doing both teams. Now that
Speaker 1: I split the sidelines, it's a little less. That was
Speaker 1: my full workout. I mean, you are because you're running
Speaker 1: and you do get self conscious you're missing something on
Speaker 1: the other side.
Speaker 2: But it was funny.
Speaker 1: I talked to Cam Jordan last night, who's really, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to get out there when he's not playing, and
Speaker 1: I obviously that's going to be his as a career
Speaker 1: after he's so great and so smart and wonderful to
Speaker 1: be around. But he said he tried the sideline job.
Speaker 1: I forgot what he was doing. He's done a bunch
Speaker 1: of things. But he goes, I can't do that shit,
Speaker 1: And I said why and he goes, cause you're always
Speaker 1: bugging people and I feel bad and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I said, that's why I go to guys like you,
Speaker 1: because you don't make me feel like it's a pain
Speaker 1: in the ass.
Speaker 2: But it's also you've earned that.
Speaker 1: You'd like you've earned the right to do that, Like
Speaker 1: your resume supports getting access and things that you wouldn't
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Year two.
Speaker 1: That's just a part of any job where it's like
Speaker 1: you've earned their respect. But I give you so much credit.
Speaker 1: I can't do that job anyway.
Speaker 2: I can't do your job.
Speaker 1: Going back to what we were talking about, just on appreciation,
Speaker 1: we are very lucky to have these jobs. We do
Speaker 1: not take them for granted, and most importantly because we
Speaker 1: get to meet the people that we meet, whether it's
Speaker 1: who were interviewing or their parents or things like that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1: I want to number fifty one Jersey for my office.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with will Anderson.
Speaker 2: I want it. I love it. I told the Texans.
Speaker 1: They go, okay, we'll get a breathing no it's adorable.
Speaker 1: And congratulations on being a working mother.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk about that later.
