Wow, Yeah, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.479 it's wild. It's fucking wild. And today I was like, 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.400 I knew we were going to be delayed. I knew 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.200 like I was gonna when you just laugh to yourself, 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.640 I'm like, okay, but it was fine. I just yeah, 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.599 it was good.

Already kind 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.880 of said my box out in forty five minutes, which 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:42.080 I haven't packed for for Dallas. But there you have it. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.360 It's week fourteen. Let's go. I knows as sometimes these 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:47.880 weeks I don't know. I guess it's like when you 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.120 have children. As I say, days are long, but the 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.640 years are quick kind of a thing. This feels and 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.359 maybe you can't say this right now because you're just 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:01.760 on the heels of a terrible flight home, but it 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:07.000 feels fast. It's week thirteen. It feels fast. It always 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.280 flies right after Thanksgiving, Like this is where it's just like, wait, 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.320 what happened? We're doing Super Bowl stuff now, what's going on? So, yeah, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:17.400 it's flown. I'm gonna do a little bit of non 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.799 bitching right now, which I know is exciting. And Steve 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.000 and Jarrett would appreciate this portion of the show. Lambo's 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.800 fucking cool. Yeah, Lambo's fucking cool at night. It's just 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.800 the people are so nice. Our game, you know, sucks. 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.599 It was such a bummer that Brock and Nick Gosa 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.240 didn't play, and they have a bunch, you know, Trent 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.520 Williams and so forth, and it wasn't the matchup we 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.440 had wanted. But it still it looked like they were 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.600 going to have a little bit of a chance in there. 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.400 But Lambo at night, it is just such a time. 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:50.280 It is so great. I had a chance to sit 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.160 down with Jordan Love this weekend, and Chris and I 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.640 speak all the time about a producer that does our features. 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.159 His name is Joel Santos. He's the most talented person 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.239 I think I've ever worked with. Holy shit, that feature 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.839 and it was Jordan was so lovely in it, and 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.479 I thought the parts where he was looking over at 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.400 Lambeau were really great. But it was shot so beautifully. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.240 It made Lambeau look like a cathedral. I loved it 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.720 so much. Any sports geek out there, if Kevin said 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.839 this yesterday, if you haven't gone to Lamba and you 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.400 love sports, make a trip. It's so fun. If you 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.080 cover sports, you'd never forget your first trip to Lambo. 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.640 I think even Tom said it on Your Guys's broadcast, 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.680 where it's like it's just it is the mecca of 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:32.280 the NFL and all of the storied history and Vince 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.119 Lombardi's name up on you know, the Ring of Honor 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.839 and just sort of everything that comes with Lambeau. But 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.680 I just have to say, and this is again, Yes, 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.400 there's always the x's and o's of football, and we 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.200 study our ass off and all these other stuff, but 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.680 I'm gonna be the girl for a second. Seeing you 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.680 in that interview, like lit perfectly in your hair on 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.040 one side, and you had this skirt on with nylons 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.279 and heels, and like, we don't have to see our 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.360 girls a short like but it was classy. It was 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.679 everything in like the lights, and you brought the best 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.159 out in him, and you're the best to do those. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.040 You are just you have a way of disarming people 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.400 and it's it was fun to watch as a fan 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.679 of football. But also you know, just having done a 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.320 million of my own interviews to watch you get the 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.640 best out of him, I really enjoyed it. And you 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.400 should be very fund yourself for that. It was a 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.520 bitch to get to and do all that, but in 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.480 the end you never regret doing it because it's worth it. 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:30.440 So did you love my ah and n leather skis 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.920 dude from H and EM Aaron? Yes? It was How 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.520 cool is that? And it's fake leather? But how I 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.960 was keeping that from you? I was about to FaceTime 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.600 you as I was walking out the door and being like, look, 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.680 how fuck and awesome this is. But I didn't want 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:49.680 to ruin the surprise. Okay, so that's so exciting. Yesterday 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.880 I was waiting for your I was actually home by myself. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.200 Steven went to the Rams game. I didn't get home 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.560 until later, and so I couldn't go to it, but 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.000 he was gone. It was that moment where like I 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.840 walked in the door and I love Steves. We get it, 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.360 we love Steve. But it's the moment that I know 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.640 I'm walking through that door and no one's home, and 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.760 I'm going to pour myself a glass of wine after 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.680 I take a shower and wash all my makeup off, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.640 and I'm gonna sit on that couch and I'm gonna 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.400 watch the Sunday night game. And it's like I just 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.640 can do anything I want. Do you want the temperature hot? 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.680 Do you want the temperature cold? No one's talking to you. 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.360 It's great. So I was like waiting for you to 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.520 call me because for our normal Sunday, But then I figured, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.800 like I just did. It was so late, but I was. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.280 I almost called you, and I was like, she's like, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.920 you know whatever, probably having a cocktail and in a 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.480 meeting room having seventeen cocktails. But when you were we 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.280 were on our text chain with con and you were 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.920 she said she asked you. She's like, that's from H 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.560 and M. And you didn't respond and I was like, oh, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.560 there's no way. And I say that like in the 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.960 best way, because there's nothing better than having to fucking 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.160 rad outfit. And you're like, yes, it was Amazon, or 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.160 it was AH and M or it was whatever. It 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.920 was good cool? Is it really good? Yeah? Someone saying 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.400 on your comments you look like a Russian spy I've 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.920 worn or a fighter pilot. I've worn everything you could 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.439 possibly wear. At Lambeau Green Bay, you know, cooler temperatures, 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.800 and my qutcute stylist, Daniella, was like, let's try this 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.880 like ski suit, and I was like, I don't know, 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:11.480 and I tried it on. I was like, well, I 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.559 fucking not. I wish I had. I wish I had 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.080 that ski suit when I was trying to be a 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.120 snow queen and then it ended up snowing because when 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.360 we were in Cleveland, it was supposed to be cold, 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.000 like like the weather report, and you know, I don't 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.600 love a weather report. Aaron always asked me two things, 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.400 where are you staying and what's the weather, to which 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.440 I always say, I don't know where you're going to dinner, 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.480 So I packed clothes, like, obviously it's going to be cold. 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.160 It's Cleveland in November, okay, And anyone that's been to 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.520 Cleveland in in the winter knows that wind off the 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.240 lake because the stadium is right next to Lake Erie. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.600 It is cold. It is eerie, all right. It is cold, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.400 it is windy, and it was supposed to be rainy. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.800 But I hadn't anticipated that the snow was going to 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.440 come down the way it did, Like when the before 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.840 and after shots of the stadium when the game started, 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.240 even at halftime, it wasn't like that to the end 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.480 of the game. And it was so fun. It was 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.200 probably you were we were texting throughout the game and 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.080 you're like, I'm so jealous that you're working a game 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.360 like this because it was fun and like you feel 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.560 like little kids again in the snow and like our 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.920 snowball fight after and Jamis, I know everyone talks about 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.320 it because they should. He is a national treasure. The 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.760 things that come out of this this guy's mouth are 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.120 so great and his love and joy of the game, 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.439 and Fits played with him in Tampa and Fits just 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.600 talked about how this guy makes everything better, like in 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.120 a locker room, just this infectious energy. And look, this 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.760 was a team that before the win, they were two 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.560 and eight. They don't have a lot to root for. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.280 They're obviously not going to make the postseason, right, and 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.480 to go into a game like that against a Steelers 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.600 team who's rolling, who was eight and two, they had 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.280 one six straight, like this whole thing, and so it 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.120 was just like a really fun game for a lot 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.199 of different reasons. Obviously not if you're a Steelers fan, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.680 but it reminded me that like someone like Jamis can 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.600 come in and attitude is everything that you can like 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.000 change how people feel about things, even if you're having 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.360 not having the year that you want. So kudos to 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:17.800 Jamis and how adorable you are. Can I say that 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:24.959 about the TNF pree halftime and postgame show, you guys, 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.800 if you think of any pregame desk to sit there 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.640 and do that post game with the elements with Jamis, 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.680 it was so fitting and so perfect. You guys ran 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.960 out and did that. I was looking at the pictures 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.680 the next morning like a five year old just I 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.240 couldn't get enough of the photos of it. I couldn't 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.040 get enough of you guys doing you know, sliding, slip 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.200 and slides. I was. I was such a proud friend. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.520 You looked so perfect. I know you said you weren't 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.480 dressed appropriately or whatever. I thought you was a little 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.840 snow going. I saw your little pants getting wet. So cute. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.880 But it was so much fun. I am in love 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.680 with your crew that you have. Like I've said, I 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.880 feel like I'm a part of it. You are just 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:14.160 because there I from you all friends and I The 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.679 pictures were amazing. Okay, this is what I was worried 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.960 about the whole broadcast though. How is everybody getting home? This? 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.439 This looks very dangerous to drive in. Well, this is 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.079 again why Jamis is so great. Witt asked him to 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.599 go to snow Angels and he's like, yeah, let's go 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.480 do it. As he points to the crowd, and he's like, okay, 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.880 everyone drive home safely now, like what quarterback in the 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.240 National football he gets pointing to the audience, making sure 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.520 that they're getting home safely. Adorable, How do we get home? 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.480 I mean, it was okay, like like the fans and stuff, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.280 those conditions were very well, you're a weather you're a 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:49.040 weather woman. I mean you understand. But no, there's uh, 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.720 there's some games that are just better than others. The 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.360 gable because the game was also great. So like great 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.840 at first everyone, because you know how this goes. We're 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.720 in the green room and at this point we're prepping 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.640 to like interview. We're like, okay, ask for Russell on 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.760 the desk. These are what we're going to talk about 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.400 in postgame. The Steelers are going to win. And then 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.000 it's like wait a minute, redirect not the case, but 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.720 all right, can I do a real quick speaking of 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.920 players and interviewing and all that. A little shout out 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.840 to Josh Jacobs three touchdowns yesterday he free agent signing 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.600 by the Green Bay Packers. Came over from the Vegas Raiders. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.560 Don't know if a lot of you know about his story. 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.559 He's had a tough life, lived in a car at 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.200 one point of his life, lived in fifteen different places. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.880 Just a guy that really made a lot out of 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.760 himself from coming from a really tough background. And those 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.080 are the stories that we all love to people. We 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:40.880 love to cheer for in the stories that you read 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.160 and stuff as you're prepping for these guys. A gorgeous smile, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.880 seems like a great dude talking to Matt Lafleur and 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.560 Jordan Love. They fucking love this guy. And listen, he 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.920 came in for a guy, and Aaron Jones at that 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.920 entire community and organization loved. I still loved. The day 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.079 I saw he wasn't going back there hurt my heart. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.959 Jacobs is a fucking baller and he those guys say 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.800 that he when he is going up against defenders, he 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.640 talks more shit than they've ever heard. And I love that. 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.199 And he wouldn't tell you. I want to know what 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:18.600 he's but there were so many miss tackles yesterday by 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.880 San Francisco. They had their own thing to deal with, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.240 and he was finding all these holes. And what a 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.760 cool story for him, like to come to Vegas, and 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:32.600 obviously Vegas is Vegas, but Green Bay is the royalty part, 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.920 you know, the upper echelon of the NFL. And for 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.000 him to come there and you know, fill in for 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.600 Aaron Jones and pick up right where he left off 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.480 and do other things as well, it's amazing and I'm 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.440 so happy for him, and so happy he's wearing my 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.480 dad's favorite team colors. So he's a great deal. And 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.560 as you're saying all that, I couldn't help but think 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.840 of another running back who has moved from one team 0:14:56.200 --> 0:15:00.880 to another. Oh, absolutely lost his damn you mentioned Josh 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.880 hen retouchdowns yesterday. You have Saquon Barkley, who himself rushed 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.600 for two hundred and sixty yards. Go ahead, two hundred 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.000 and sixty yards. Like he's such a sweet These were 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.480 three hundred total scrimmaget like, I'm a this guy. And 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.520 so the last non quarterback to win an MVP was 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:21.040 Adrian Peterson back in twenty twelve. And I'm sorry, but 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.400 Saquon Barkley the year that this guy is having when 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.760 you tie. I know that most MVPs always go to 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.480 a quarterback, and I can understand why. You can easily 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.200 argue it's the hardest position in sports other than I 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.680 don't know. I guess sometimes people say pitcher in baseball, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.440 I say a quarterback. But maybe I'm biased because covering 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:41.480 the league. Anyways, I Saquon Barkley is a frickin' beast 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.560 and a game changer and good for frickin' him, you 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.840 know where it's like just getting in the right situation. 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:49.880 Jalen Hurts. There was like this shot of here on 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.880 the sideline and the smile that he had when Saquon 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.640 went off for his first seventy yard run, and it 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.080 was just like, hey, I got an idea hand off 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.120 the ball and the dude does the rest. Like as 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.400 a quarterback, you're like, well, that makes my job fucking easy. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.000 It was awesome to watch. But anyways, go ahead Saykan 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.000 you deserve it, every bit of it. And I have 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.880 a couple of Giants fans that I work very closely 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.160 with at Fox on our crew, and they're just like, 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.600 good for him, good for freaking him. Yeah, the league 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.360 is awesome a lot of different. I mean, it looked 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.360 like yesterday like Kansas City was going to lose, but 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.080 then of course you give the ball back to Patrick 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.960 Mahomes and you're just always signed away. But you know, 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.280 if you're a Panthers fan, you can appreciate. We were 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.560 talking today on our Amazon call because we've got Kansas 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.240 City and the Raiders for our Black Friday game. And 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.840 when you talk about I mentioned you know when you're 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.160 on a team like the Browns who aren't going to 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.720 make the postseason, and you just kind of like, what 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.760 are you playing for? Like the Raiders for example, and 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.400 what they're going through. It's like this is their super Bowl, 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.240 Like you always like trying to knock off the team 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.800 that's on the top. So watching the Panthers yesterday, you know, 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.520 show up. You got to remember it too, like you 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.000 obviously we go to work, but we're not. There's no 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.240 score being kept for our performance every single week except 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:03.640 for when we're hard on ourselves. But you know what 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.040 I mean, Like, imagine having to show up every single 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.240 week and know that your season's over, but you still 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.080 got to show up and play hard. So I respect 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:15.760 those guys a lot. All right, So you're in Dallas 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:20.560 for your Thanksgiving game. I've never worked a Thanksgiving game. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.760 Obviously Black Friday as a tradition that started with Amazon 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.199 last year, so I get the day after Thanksgiving. But 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.480 what is it like working a game on Thanksgiving? Other 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.560 than obviously with the negatives, it's like, oh, I want 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.119 to be home, but everyone's watching. You know. It's like 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:40.480 those like you know, I don't know, just traditional games. Yeah, 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.840 it'll be interesting this year because obviously these teams are 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:48.000 into you know, they haven't had the best of years. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.440 And yeah, I mean I know it's their job and everything, 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.040 but also I'm thinking about our meetings tomorrow with them. 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.280 Those are tough meetings because it's like, all right, you know, 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.040 we have to speak with Brian Table, we have to 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.359 speak with Mike McCarthy. I love both of those guys 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.960 a lot, and you feel bad, You just feel so bad, 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.520 but they also have a job to do. Coach McCarthy 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.600 would be the first person to say, don't feel bad, 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:15.399 this is our job. Yeah, listen, it's still the Giants 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.280 and the Cowboys. Everybody's going to watch. It's going to 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.879 be super fun. Hate being away from my family, but 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.280 I'm with my work family and we are going to 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.320 have a great night. None of us can get out, 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.440 so we're all going to do a big Thanksgiving back 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.360 at our hotel. We did that a couple of years 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.800 ago in Dallas, where all our families came in. This year, 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:33.919 our families are not going to come in. One of 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.120 our family members is going to come and join us. 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.359 Our old family member, Troy Aikman's going to come to me. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.720 I'm really excited about that. I even tried to maybe 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.000 think of taking a Q from the Thursday Night football crew, 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.800 and I wanted to get a karaoke machine, but things 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.240 got really thankful and crazy. But Dean Blandino is not 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.080 going to be with us and made us promise we 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.000 wouldn't do it without him. Oh, what's your karaoke song? Share? 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.119 I have two, Bonnie Ray, Let's give him something to 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:04.000 talk about and share. If I could turn back time, Wow, Okay, 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.000 I think I would do fast Car because I think, 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:12.040 like the chorus, everybody would be like, hey, a little Tracy. 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:13.520 Just what I feel like it would be like in 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.960 my Yeah. Anyways, so yeah, and then we'll all leave 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.600 Friday a little hungover and dehydrate it and get home 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:31.160 and have the weekend off, which is gonna be really fun. 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:37.120 I'm excited for Black Friday. It's a fun new tradition 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.920 the day after Thanksgiving football gamely and first time to 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.879 Kansas City this year. I don't know if Taylor is 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:46.200 going to be there, but you know, I'm going to 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.720 be looking and see if she's there. I may linger 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:54.200 in a weird way in the halls, hoping to see 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.520 her come in on her golf. Kelsey got a podcast. 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:03.080 I know that's so cool. Shout who is a dream. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.680 We loved We loved her before we got a chance 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:07.640 to meet her when we're in London. But she is 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.240 as advertised. She's what you see is what you get 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:14.119 and she yeah. She And by the way, also congratulations 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:18.320 to Kylie and Jason Kelsey on having the baby. She's 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.240 pregnant with their fourth girl. And I just all I 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.040 could think about was her because she is just so 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:28.560 like normal and down to earth, like getting the whether 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.080 it was the ultrasound you know, results or whatever it 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:32.840 was that revealed that she was having a girl like 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:34.879
