1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast. 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and Lauren Zema coming to you from the 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: home office in Austin, Texas. And it's a great time 4 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: of year. 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 2: Else it's the most wonderful time of the year. 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: It's a phenomenal time of year. It's fall. It's football season. 7 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: Okay, you lost me there, you had me at fall. Yeah, Well, 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: you know, Chris Harrison told me we're going to do 9 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: a playbook about it being football season. And of course 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: what I'm bringing to the table here is how to 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 2: survive football season, how to thrive in football season, how 12 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: to completely operate your life as if it's not affected 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: by this thing called football season. And I got to 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: tell you, I have had to kind of casualize my 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: criticism of the game because we live in Texas. It's 16 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: a very big thing for people here. 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: It's very big. 18 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: Something I didn't I'm going to sound like an idiot. 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: People were in Austin. People who did not go to 20 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: the New University of Texas which is in Austin. Yes, 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: go to the UT football games. 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: Have season tickets and are full on burnt orange fans. 23 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: And so what's that about? It's like you just you 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: live in this town and so you support this team. 25 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, the fandom of I mean, it's kind of like 26 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: I remember when I was a sportscaster in Oklahoma and 27 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: people just growing up in Oklahoma, you were typically an 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: Ou fan. It was Boomer Sooner coming part of your community. Yeah, 29 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: it is, because it is. It is part of the 30 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: fabric of the community. And that's you know, I grew 31 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: up here in Texas truly under the literal Friday Night Lights, 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: the whole Dallas Carter who was the championship team, you know, 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: during that the time that movie was made, that was 34 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: my junior year of high school. Very much. Friday Night 35 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: Lights is. 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: What's based on a true story. 37 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: Yes, it is a true story. You didn't know that. 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: I mean Tim McGraw's not in it. 39 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: But yeah, it was like a movie in a TV show. 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: I thought. I thought it was just about. 41 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: Texas football the movie itself, it. 42 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: Was about the vibe. I didn't know. 43 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: The TV show became more about the vibe of Friday 44 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: Night Lights, which is more a moniker of when you 45 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: drive around on Friday nights, you look at the lights 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: and these small towns and that's where everybody is. That's 47 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: high school football. But the movie Friday Night Lights was 48 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: was technically it was about Odessa Permian, but the team 49 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: that beat them in the championship game. 50 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: I can't tell if you're saying a person's name or 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: a town's name. 52 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: Would you just say Odessa, Texas is out in the Panhandle? 53 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: That was Oh, I thought you said Odessa Permian like 54 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 2: someone that's sorry. 55 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: No, that's a town in a high school and that's 56 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: what the you know, the story was about their team, 57 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: but the true team that won that year, that beat 58 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: them in the championship was Dallas Carter and we actually 59 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: played them in my high school, so that was Friday 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: Night Lights. It's and I remember when I was a 61 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: sportscaster in Oklahoma, I did the Friday night high school 62 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: Football Show. We did a thirty minute wow show every 63 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: Friday night just on high school football. We'd fly our 64 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: helicopter out for the game of the week. It was 65 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: a huge deal. Yeah, no, I mean it was. It is. 66 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: And by the way, I think it's wonderful that it 67 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: brings people together. It's community. It's giving people a shared experience, 68 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: something to cheer for. These are all good and wonderful things. 69 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: I just didn't grow up. My high school was not 70 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: really good at any sports when I was there. 71 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: And now from Chicago just well outside of Chicago. 72 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: Yes, Elgin High School the oldest high school in the state. 73 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: But I like, I went to the football games and stuff. Again, 74 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: it was like something to do, but we weren't really 75 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: but it wasn't the investment level for sure. I mean, 76 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: and that's like a cultural sort of state thing like Illinois, isn't. 77 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: I mean, Texas is a different situation. 78 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, in Oklahoma. You go around and it was funny. 79 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: It struck me when I went to California where the 80 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: kids were going and I had heard about the kids' 81 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: school and they had these stud ass fleets were there 82 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: and I think Joe Montana his kid was there, and 83 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, and I asked the athletic director whoever was 84 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: running the program. I said, I'd love to come to 85 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: a game tonight and check them out. He says great, 86 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: and I said, well, you know, where do I get tickets? 87 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: And he's like, just show up, man, And because my 88 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: thought is if you don't get a ticket, you're it's 89 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: sold out, right, there's thousands of people. You're not getting 90 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: into the game, and I didn't realize there might be 91 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: one hundred or so people and it's not packed and 92 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: it's not that big of a deal. 93 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: What has helped me? Since this is the playbook I'm 94 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: calling it. If I'm calling this the how to survive 95 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 2: and thrive in football season, what are you calling this playball? 96 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: Well? I didn't even mean for this to be about football. 97 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: What it was really about the fact that many women 98 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: become a football widow for the next six months. I 99 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: hate that term because you are you know, you have 100 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: this person in your life who is now a fantasy 101 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: football owner. It's not enough that you're going to watch 102 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: sixteen hours football every every weekend. 103 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: You're now I'm gonna say it, I think if your 104 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: husband's doing that, I think there's a problem. 105 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: I agree, And by the way, I don't, I don't. 106 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: I'm not okay with it. I'm not. I don't like 107 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: the term football widow straight not out your priority, sir, 108 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 2: because by the way, like here's what's truly helped me 109 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: understand sports honestly. And I don't mean the actual games 110 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: because that's probably never gonna happen to know thyself, but 111 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: I have tried to understand, respect and appreciate the love 112 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: of sports, and you have truly Like We've had these 113 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: conversations where I'll say, okay, so, like is this like 114 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: as if this Housewives season was on at the same 115 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: time as this Housewives season and then we'd have to 116 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: choose which one to watch. I've asked you to give 117 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: it to me in terms of Real Housewives, in terms 118 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: of Harry Potter, things that I love and that has 119 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: helped me understand, Like who what was it? I think 120 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: it was last football season. You said, like the Cowboys 121 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: are playing somebody today and I was like, oh, so 122 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 2: is that like if as if Gryffindor was facing Slytherin 123 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: in a quidditch match, And that helped me understand. 124 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: Because that would be the big rivalry. 125 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: Yes, Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff. 126 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah so much. Yeah, it's just got not a big deal. 127 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't really need to watch that whole quidditch mat. 128 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: So that helped me. Okay, But I do draw the 129 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: line on like I don't like football widow or golf widow. 130 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 2: I think that's condescending to women. First of all, anytime 131 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: you go do something with sports I'm like, okay, great, 132 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 2: go have fun. I have stuff I want to do too. 133 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: I'm going to go be in a home goods for 134 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: four hours. Enjoy your eighteen holes of golf. I've got 135 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: stuff to do. I'm gonna meet the girls for lunch whatever. 136 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: I don't like the widow concept because that makes it 137 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: sound like the woman's just at home totally, you know, 138 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: waiting for the man to return. 139 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: Football is the candle aisle of home goods. 140 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: Meaning like you always want to be in it. What 141 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: do you mean? 142 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's where you can just disappear for a 143 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: little bit. 144 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: Okay, But that's what we're talking about, is you actually 145 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 2: are great at this. You watch the games that matter 146 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: to you. Yeah, you you know, you don't always need 147 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: to watch a whole game unless it's a really good game. 148 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: The Cowboys. I love watching my Cowboys. And now we're 149 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: really very much vested in TCU. Now we're like financially 150 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: vested in TCU. All everybody goes there. But yeah no, so, like, 151 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, I will watch all those games, but if 152 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: I miss a little bit, you know, I'm okay, and. 153 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: I'm not down for And I've dated guys like this 154 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: been with guys like this in the past, where they're 155 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: on like sixteen fantasy in different fantasy football leagues, and 156 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: so they have to watch every game and it's so 157 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: much time. It's so much of your time. 158 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: You are managing people that don't know you, don't care 159 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: about you. A comedian, I just saw this bit the 160 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: other day about guys, it's like, first of all, you 161 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: watching sports is a fantasy.

So that's fantasy number one. Now you 165 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: are managing a fantasy team. Fantasy is in the title. 166 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: So a team that doesn't really exist, a. 167 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: Team that doesn't exist that you have actual no ownership of. 168 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: You're now managing a fantasy team about a fantasy of 169 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: playing sports. 170 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: And if you want to be in one league, okay, cool, 171 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: go do it like have fun.

People do it in sport, you know, 173 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: hey at the office. 174 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: Well listen, it's the everything in moderation. I don't think 175 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: it's healthy. First of all, a football game is four hours. 176 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: I call it a black hole of time. It says 177 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 2: ten more minutes on the clock. It's not it's their hour. 178 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: It's a lie, that's true. No, nothing I watch is 179 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 2: ever gonna lie to me. An episode of Real Housewives 180 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: is forty three minutes without commercials always. But there's nothing 181 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that's gonna take that much time. And again, 182 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think how to survive and thrive. 183 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: I do think it's okay for somebody to tell their 184 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: partner like, you're spending too much time doing this. This 185 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: can be addictive, This isn't okay, this isn't real. And 186 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: I would say to anybody who combats it, what if 187 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: I told you I'm watching four hours of Bravo every 188 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: night this week? Like that would sound psychotic, unhinged? Yes, 189 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 2: or you know? So yeah, I don't know. That's I 190 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: think how to survive and thrive. You can put somebody 191 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: in their place during football season and say, hey, just 192 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: because it's football doesn't mean it's like it's. 193 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: Okay, or your relationship will become a fantasy. 194 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: Oh, that's interesting. I think athletes are celebrities for sure, 195 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: you know, but it's just always funny to me, how 196 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: the like, I think I've dated people in the past 197 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: where they'd be like, I can't believe you care about that, 198 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: and I'd be like, you're literally standing up and cheering 199 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 2: for a person you've never met before. You're actually you're 200 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 2: wearing their jersey. You don't even know them. 201 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: We were at a friend's house this weekend. You obviously 202 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: we were together, and we had this discussion about wearing 203 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: a jersey. I can't do it. I won't do it. 204 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna wear another person's name or number on 205 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: my back, you know, like if I've thrown out the 206 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: first pitch a couple of times at like a Dodger 207 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: game or a Ranger game, whatever, I'll put on their 208 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: jersey for that night. But like, I'm not gonna wear 209 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: someone else their celebrities And I'm not wearing a Dak 210 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Prescott or Ceedee Lamb Dallas Cowboy jerseys. But I'll I'll 211 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: wear a hat or a you know, a T shirt 212 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: or something. 213 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: I get that, and I do get into it when 214 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: the athletic news becomes like a little more celebrity leaning 215 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: than I know. 216 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: But by the way, in my defense, I also have 217 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: gryffindor shorts that I wear well. But somebody, sometimes the 218 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: news just gets so wild from sports, these celebrities. You 219 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: have to talk about it. And as you know, I'm 220 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: from Dallas, I've talked about this. I'm a Cowboy fan. 221 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is our quarterback. He is our captain. He 222 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: is the face of our franchise and a good one 223 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: at that. Maybe not the greatest quarterback of all time, 224 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: but as a man, as a captain and as a 225 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: face of our franchise, he's awesome, undisputed. He won this 226 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: amazing award, the Walter Payton Award, which goes to the 227 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: one NFL player who's given the most back to the community. 228 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: And this was the wildest story that came out. He 229 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: got a tattoo. He wanted a sleeve I believe, on 230 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: his leg and he went under He got sedated to 231 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: get this tattoo. Now, right away, I'm like, that seems 232 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: extreme and crazy to me. But he went under anesthesia 233 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: for eleven fing hours. Oh my god, to get these tattoos. 234 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 2: That's like a very long surgery. 235 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: That's scary. That's like open heart surgery. That's nuts to me. 236 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I would hope the anesthesiologist told him about 237 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: the risks if I don't know if there are more 238 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: risks if you're under longer. But I would be and 239 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 2: see you know what how to survive and thrive in 240 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: football season. I'm into the story. This is interesting to me, 241 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 2: and I will say I'm not saying don't care. I 242 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: am saying care when you can, Like I will be 243 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: aware of some football players, you know, more celebrity side 244 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: news of their lives. I will try to know a 245 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: couple names. If I see you cheering, I will cheer. 246 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: It has helped if you've given me wine and snacks 247 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: during the game that we I might be half watching. 248 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: But I'm saying it's not like I care little. I 249 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: care when I can, and on this I can care. 250 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: And on this, I say, here's another thing about the 251 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 2: risks of going under for eleven hours and waking up 252 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: with an entire leg tattooed. I would want to be 253 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: watching during right and be like, is this going the 254 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: way you want? Is this looking how you want? It 255 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: would scare me to wake up and my whole leg 256 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: has been permanently altered and I wasn't part of the process. 257 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: Well, and someone asked the owner, Jerry Jones of the Cowboys, Hey, 258 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: did you know about this? And he is paying this 259 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: man hundreds of millions of dollars, had no idea that 260 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: his star quarterback right before the season went under for 261 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: half a day, was sedated for half a day. 262 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: I was I thought you meant like he'd have to 263 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: tell him about a tattoo. No, you mean it's like 264 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 2: they need to know if you're like, there's a surgical 265 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: experience you're having. 266 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: Anytime you go under, there's a risk. There's a risk involved. 267 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: We've all heard the terrible stories. You know, Joan Rivers 268 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: comes to mind. Should be an easy day surgery. You're 269 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: going under some anything can happen. And so that that 270 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: is the crazy part to me, to take that risk 271 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,239 Speaker 1: of going under for eleven hours to get a tattoo. 272 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: And these are very meaningful tattoos. I'm not taken away 273 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: from that. If you're into that, I'm not a tattoo guy. 274 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: He is great, God bless you is now. But the 275 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: other thing is you and I are not people to 276 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 1: ask this question too. So I'm just going to throw 277 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: it out to the playbook audience. Here isn't getting a 278 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: tattoo part of it, like the pain, the feeling, the 279 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: being aware and present during it. Isn't that kind of the. 280 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 2: Thing they say people can't even get kind of addicted 281 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: to the experience, like there's a rush and. 282 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: I know it hurts like hell, and that's probably why 283 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: he didn't want to do it. But to me, I'm like, 284 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: isn't that part of it? 285 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: Like maybe he has a really bad fear of needles. 286 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: Apparently, But I agree, it's like, Okay, you're getting a 287 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: tattoo of things that are very personal to you. His 288 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: brother who passed away, is his mom who passed away, 289 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: and Michael Jordan, and I think Kobe Bryant and Muhammad Ali, 290 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: the Dallas Skyline, all these things he got tattooed on 291 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: his leg. I would want to see the work in progress. 292 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: This is very someone asked him about this. I need 293 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: Hopefully he'll address it. 294 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: And well, and I think he wasn't prepared for like 295 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: people going holy calm. 296 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: Well, so, I'll be honest, I didn't know you could, 297 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 2: like can you get anesthesia or something if you don't 298 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: have a. 299 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: Medical See that's what I was waning. 300 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 2: Reason, how do you just get anesthesia? 301 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: Or was he at a clinic where there was a 302 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: crash cart? Was he with? You know? Was there a 303 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: doctor there? Was it? Just? You know? Are you at 304 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: a tattoo parlor? Right? 305 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: Well, because for example, a lot of my friends now 306 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: I'm going very away from sports, but women who have 307 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: IUDs or get them out. It's very painful apparently, And 308 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 2: so I've always wondered, you know, why can't you go 309 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: under to get an IUD? But it's not like I 310 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: don't think it's classified that way, and I don't think 311 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: you could. I don't think even if you wanted to, 312 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: you could go under, for that is my understanding. So 313 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: how did he do that? 314 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's the thing I don't know. 315 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 2: All right, Well, here's what we've play booked out. Yes, 316 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: you're allowed to call your partner out during football season, 317 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 2: but as a partner you should listen and moderate everything 318 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: in moderation number two. You do also, especially if you're 319 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: going to call them out, you got to care little. 320 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: Support your partner and what they like to do, support 321 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: the thing that they're interested in. Give a crap, what 322 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: have I missed? What would you? What do you need 323 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: from me this football season? Chris Harrison you do it. 324 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: You're so good at it. Like we have our time. 325 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: You'll come hang out a little bit, but then you'll 326 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: go and you know what, Cowboy game or I'll watch 327 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: TCU football. But then I also know that I'm gonna 328 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: go with you and dive in. By the way, why 329 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: is this actually the greatest time of year?
