Speaker 1: The end of the Eras tour two years, two billion dollars.
Speaker 1: But most importantly, the news that came out today, which
Speaker 1: is why she is one of one, is giving out
Speaker 1: over one hundred and seventy five million or whatever the
Speaker 1: final number was of additional bonuses to her crew. Of course,
Speaker 1: she made headlines when she donates food at the local
Speaker 1: food banks. It's just she continues to impress me, just
Speaker 1: when you think she can't get more impressive in who
Speaker 1: she is as a performer but also as a person.
Speaker 1: Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Calm Down Podcast.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, are you okay?
Speaker 1: I'm making notes, She's making notes. We're making notes fifteen.
Speaker 1: I just wrote down it is three week of week
Speaker 1: fifteen when I do my Thursday night Wow. San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers versus Los Angeles Rams a battle in
Speaker 1: the NFC West.
Speaker 2: But let's go back for a second.
Speaker 1: We both had incredible Week fourteen matchups. I was in
Speaker 1: Detroit for the Packers' Lions. You were working RAMS bills yesterday,
Speaker 1: go gas like it was two years ago. Exactly. That's why,
Speaker 1: like I want to I want to touch on your
Speaker 1: game just because it happened yesterday. Incredible thinking about what
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did in a losing effort. I know, but
Speaker 1: I was so happy for you guys getting a game
Speaker 1: like that because I feel like you guys have had blowouts, blowouts,
Speaker 1: blowout City's sister. Yeah, terrible, it was great. I would
Speaker 1: I love working games like that. Sorry, I almost had
Speaker 1: a burp. I love working.
Speaker 2: Games like that. But I also, you know, it's not like.
Speaker 1: You're sitting back at home going holy shit, Like you're
Speaker 1: sitting there on the sidelines, who's hurt, Who's okay?
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Do I need? Am I doing a
Speaker 2: postgame interview? What am I asking? What where are they on?
Speaker 2: Third down?
Speaker 1: So it's like you are a lot of different places
Speaker 1: with all that. It was amazing. But yeah, back and
Speaker 1: forth game and good for the Rams. I mean this
Speaker 1: is uh, obviously the Bills. I've been having a great year,
Speaker 1: but I was excited for Selfishly, It's always this is
Speaker 1: totally selfish actually watching games where both teams win going
Speaker 1: into your matchup, because then the week is easier because you're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, they're in a better mood. They're not like disgruntled.
Speaker 1: So both the Niners and the Rams winning yesterday sure
Speaker 1: sets up a great matchup. And then this division obviously
Speaker 1: being as close as it is, coming down to the wire,
Speaker 1: the fact that it is going to be Week fifteen,
Speaker 1: it'll come down to Seattle and the Rams, depending of
Speaker 1: course on you know, that last game of the year
Speaker 1: for that division. But anyways, yeah, excited about that one.
Speaker 1: What else do we have? I had that that Lions
Speaker 1: Packers game was so awesome. It lived up to all
Speaker 1: of the hype. Of course going into that game. You know,
Speaker 1: you forget just from the outside looking at if you're
Speaker 1: not follow football closely, like that wasn't a battle for
Speaker 1: the division. I mean the Minnesota Vikings or in the
Speaker 1: middle of the Lions Vikings and then the Packers. But
Speaker 1: just the winning I think the overall winning percentage of
Speaker 1: that division it's like eight hundred or something. It's like,
Speaker 1: never in history has a division been so good. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that game was awesome, so much was made. We were
Speaker 1: standing on the sideline at the very end of the game.
Speaker 1: Of course, it was tied thirty one, thirty one with
Speaker 1: a minute and a half left to play, And it
Speaker 1: comes down to this fourth and inches play, Dan Campbell
Speaker 1: decides to go for it. Up until that point, he
Speaker 1: was three for four on calling and going for it
Speaker 1: on fourth down and converting. So Fitz and I are
Speaker 1: standing next to each other and he's like, there's no
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, they kick the field goal again, there's no,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to go for it. And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you see Jared the football and come
Speaker 1: back out and you're like, wait, he's going for it.
Speaker 2: So I love it.
Speaker 1: And then the next day all of these people, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on a ram for a second about
Speaker 1: this because what I think is so wild is you're
Speaker 1: not on that team, You're not in that locker room,
Speaker 1: you're not in those teams. So if Dan Campbell wants
Speaker 1: to go for it, and as Jared Goff told us
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, Dan Campbell was kind
Speaker 1: of bascillating, like should I go for it?
Speaker 2: Should not go for it?
Speaker 1: And then he decides to go for it, and Jared
Speaker 1: Goff is like, let's fucking go kind of a thing
Speaker 1: like this is our team, this is who we are,
Speaker 1: Like we're all in one way or the other, but
Speaker 1: all of these like individuals that I hear the next
Speaker 1: day on all these different shows like this is so risky,
Speaker 1: this is so, this is whatever.
Speaker 2: Who cares, that's his decision, that's his team. And guess what, Like, yeah.
Speaker 1: If he wants, he's made those calls in the past,
Speaker 1: and they've been him in the ass. If that's who
Speaker 1: this guy is, if that's who this team is, then cool.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why everyone everyone has to have
Speaker 1: an opinion on every little thing and it's like, well.
Speaker 2: He should do it this way.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, guess what if Dan Campbell wants to
Speaker 1: paint his house fucking purple, then he can paint his
Speaker 1: house purple and deal with the neighbors later.
Speaker 2: Like that's his decision to go for it, and his
Speaker 2: team is all for him.
Speaker 1: And if I'm in that locker room, I am riding
Speaker 1: with somebody like that, like we die together, we win together,
Speaker 1: whatever did it, we're going to do.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: I just found it so annoying that everyone thinks that
Speaker 1: they get to have opinions on situations that they're not
Speaker 1: a part of. So and same thing with the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: Like the Chiefs are now ten to zero in one
Speaker 1: score games. They win last night they doing a field goal,
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, well, the Chiefs, they can't keep
Speaker 1: winning like this. Guess what they can't they like last year,
Speaker 1: Like they can't go on the road and win all
Speaker 1: these playoff games without home field advantage.
Speaker 2: Guess what they did.
Speaker 1: It's just I am like last time I checked the
Speaker 1: who you know the winner of the Super Bowl from
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five? Did you keep track of how many
Speaker 1: games they won by one score? How many points did
Speaker 1: they go forward on fourth down? No? You keep track
Speaker 1: of wins. In the words of Al Davis, just win baby.
Speaker 1: So like, if you keep winning, who cares how you
Speaker 1: do it? So for like both of those teams, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm so overwatching shows where everyone wants to critique.
Speaker 2: Like this shit. I'm like, they win and who cares? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Grant it's no.
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to fill time and commercial space
Speaker 1: and all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 3: Why.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: People are paid to debate it, and that's what they
Speaker 1: do and that's what they sign up for. But it's
Speaker 1: pretty amazing to watch. I was at kind of a
Speaker 1: Christmas fireworks event last night, which was fun, and they
Speaker 1: had the game on and people were like I'm so
Speaker 1: sick of this. I'm so I was like, why this
Speaker 1: was awesome of the Chiefs. Why because Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 1: fucking cool.
Speaker 2: And like they win and they win different way, it's fun.
Speaker 2: The NFL is fun.
Speaker 1: The same thing happened with the Patriots when they would win,
Speaker 1: like so you know and like, oh, I'm so sick
Speaker 1: of the Patriots winning, or like the Lakers in their
Speaker 1: prime or the Seltics and their prime.
Speaker 2: Like I'm so sick of it. I'm like, hey, guess what,
Speaker 2: then somebody else be better? How about that?
Speaker 1: Like somebody else you want to win the division nine
Speaker 1: straight years?
Speaker 2: Good for sucking you. Who cares how you win it?
Speaker 1: You want to miss win it with doinked field goals
Speaker 1: and blocked field goals whatever, cope. But yeah, I'm very
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's already fifteen. We said this every
Speaker 1: single week going back. If you were to listen some
Speaker 1: of our podcasts in week three, it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this season so long and now here we are it's
Speaker 1: going to be over in two seconds.
Speaker 2: So season.
Speaker 1: I literally marched across my face like it really has Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm so tired.
Speaker 2: I just look so tired. I looked at myself today in.
Speaker 1: The mirror plates and I went, whoa hell, I need
Speaker 1: a good night sleep. We talked about this on a
Speaker 1: pregame show. I just tis this season. It's December ninth
Speaker 1: as we're taping this right now. I have so much
Speaker 1: to do as we get except for Christmas. I was
Speaker 1: so excited to sleep in my own bad last night,
Speaker 1: not have to get on a plane. I might as
Speaker 1: well have gotten on a six am flight. That's how
Speaker 1: much sleep I got. I just woke up at random
Speaker 1: times like shit, did I get this person something? Did
Speaker 1: I do this? I need to tie this end. I
Speaker 1: need to finish this up. It was like, girl, rest
Speaker 1: your brain.
Speaker 2: Enough, Yeah, you do need to do that.
Speaker 1: But I feel the same way I was saying on
Speaker 1: a pregame that I felt like I had a great
Speaker 1: jump start to Christmas. I was ordering things early, I
Speaker 1: was getting stuff. Now I'm way reading for all of
Speaker 1: these things to get here, and I'm tracking every single
Speaker 1: day because I can't send the packages out. But here's
Speaker 1: my thing. And I would love the viewers, the viewers
Speaker 1: and the listeners input on this where it's like I
Speaker 1: think in my head, I have a good list of
Speaker 1: people that I know I need to get stuff for right,
Speaker 1: just based off of like, you know.
Speaker 2: The friend group, the work group, whatever.
Speaker 1: But there's always those randoms that you don't think are
Speaker 1: going to come in with a gift, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're standing there and they hand over
Speaker 1: the gift. You're like, oh my god, yeah, yours in
Speaker 1: the car. I'll go run and grab that later. Or
Speaker 1: yours is at home, Oh my god, I'll get No,
Speaker 1: it's not at home, and it's not in the car
Speaker 1: because I didn't get you a gift because I didn't think.
Speaker 2: We did gifts. But now you're a new doing gift.
Speaker 1: We're doing gifts, and so Steve it's mad and he's like,
Speaker 1: you're always buying gifts for people that you don't even
Speaker 1: know are going to buy gifts for you. I'm like,
Speaker 1: cause I'm so paranoid that if I don't have the
Speaker 1: gift then I'll feel terrible. So I would rather have
Speaker 1: a bunch of August Sary gifts for sure. I would
Speaker 1: rather have a bunch of auxillary gifts and some last
Speaker 1: second cards where I can quickly write, because there's nothing
Speaker 1: worse than standing there and being like, oh, I didn't
Speaker 1: get you anything terrible.
Speaker 2: So that's where I'm at right now.
Speaker 1: Shopping gifts additional pressure to put on yourself as well,
Speaker 1: like I'll tell you crazy. Oh, I'll tell you I
Speaker 1: don't want not to get into my headspace for tonight.
Speaker 1: Oh God, just grab grab like five or six extra
Speaker 1: little bags of like goodies or something. Hey, what's what's
Speaker 1: the bag of goodies? What's the bag like a lip gloss?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Think of you got to have auxiliary for guys and
Speaker 1: for gals. Okay, you got to have the wine. God,
Speaker 1: you've got crazy extra.
Speaker 2: You got to do it.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, then you know, look I'll buy some what
Speaker 1: are you putting these in like a little gift bag?
Speaker 1: And then just have a backup card already in there,
Speaker 1: because by the way, people are onto you if you
Speaker 1: don't have the card filled out and you just hand
Speaker 1: them over the gift and there's no card, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm an auxiliary gift person. You don't care about me
Speaker 1: enough to have a card. But if you have the
Speaker 1: card in there, you've bought yourself sometime and another friendship.
Speaker 1: I also one always have the backup wine. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: an easy one. What's your price range? And what backup
Speaker 1: wine do you have? You got to go thirty five
Speaker 1: to sixty five on the auxiliary gift.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I have more anxiety. No, I didn't
Speaker 2: mean to add this to you.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have more anxiety if somebody hands over a
Speaker 1: gift and you don't have one for them.
Speaker 2: Plus I gotta have some card waiting. Yeah, you always
Speaker 2: have to have the card in the what's your excuse?
Speaker 2: You're like, hey, one second, let me run upstairs. That's
Speaker 2: exactly what I did.
Speaker 1: What about if the inkstill is like what, well, that's
Speaker 1: what you doing that? How about when the you're recycling
Speaker 1: the gift bag and your name it was like to
Speaker 1: Carissa love mom, and it was like shit, I forgot
Speaker 1: to pull that off. And then you pulled like part
Speaker 1: of the bag off and then there's like a whole
Speaker 1: part of the missing. Yeah, that's why you gotta be
Speaker 1: prepared gooby gun or something. But I'll tell you who's
Speaker 1: not prepared. And this is where I said to him.
Speaker 1: I was like, men don't think about this stuff. Men
Speaker 1: don't think about Hey, you know what, the dog walker
Speaker 1: needs a gift because she takes her dogs.
Speaker 2: Out every single day. Why I'm not sleeping.
Speaker 1: We have the luxury of having a house cleaner. The
Speaker 1: house cleaner needs a gift. And then they're like, well,
Speaker 1: we pay them. We don't have to buy them a gift.
Speaker 1: We paid them, And I'm like, I don't care. Guess
Speaker 1: what I get paid from my employer. But sometimes they
Speaker 1: also give us a gift. So you can't apply that
Speaker 1: principle at all. Okay, so men, don't think about it.
Speaker 1: Steve hasn't done one fucking gift shop. You think he's
Speaker 1: stressed out. He's not losing any sleep at night. Oh,
Speaker 1: Jared's not losing any sleep. In fact, he's still snoring
Speaker 1: away and I'm using all the sleep.
Speaker 2: I want to know what I did last night?
Speaker 1: Picked up the phone, turned the baby monitor on louder
Speaker 1: because Mac has a sound machine in his room so
Speaker 1: we hear it.
Speaker 2: He turned it up where it's basically.
Speaker 1: Like like the winds are crashing into the house.
Speaker 2: The fucking phone down.
Speaker 1: And the next morning he's like, Babe, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm always have a scoring issue.
Speaker 2: I feel like he has.
Speaker 1: But it's gotten worse. We did go get looked at.
Speaker 1: They did say do you have a couple of cracks
Speaker 1: in your nose. You have a deviated septum. You definitely
Speaker 1: broke your nose a couple of times. We should get
Speaker 1: this fixed. And this sweet guy last night, we're going
Speaker 1: to bed and I'm so tired, and he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: just a heads up. I did book an appointment for
Speaker 1: surgery on my nose. And I said, whoa, Like, we're
Speaker 1: not doing a pointments dentist appointment and book surgery exactly.
Speaker 1: I was like, am I home? Will I be able
Speaker 1: to pick you up? We need to find out more
Speaker 1: information about this surgery. What's the recovery time? But he
Speaker 1: is so frightened about me killing him in the middle.
Speaker 2: About that too. Yeah, yeah, this has been going a
Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah, it's time. I don't appreciate.
Speaker 1: Have we thought about, like maybe a sleep apnea machine
Speaker 1: or something? Oh we failed test. We have a deviated septum.
Speaker 1: Can I say septim one more time?
Speaker 2: Septic tank?
Speaker 1: Because he's yeah, so apparently. Yeah, it's just getting worse
Speaker 1: and worse and worse, and so is my adague.
Speaker 2: Dude, it's okay, it's okay, you're allowed to have that.
Speaker 2: We'll get through it. So everybody is like, did you
Speaker 2: love a home game? Loved it so great?
Speaker 1: You we can get through it together. Don't worry about
Speaker 1: I just need you to be able to get some sleep.
Speaker 1: That's the thing I told you about. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if anybody else of their significant other snores.
Speaker 2: Steve used to that, We've talked about it before.
Speaker 1: He has this tape that he puts over his mouth.
Speaker 1: It's called hostage tape, which is an inane title. He
Speaker 1: looks insane, but guess what, he does not wake me
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night anymore.
Speaker 2: So come three or four a m.
Speaker 1: The hostage tape is coming off like we're a loud
Speaker 1: breather man, and he's like in the morning, he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it fell off. Oh yeah, well maybe we've
Speaker 1: got to double up on the old the tape. I
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. By the way, go
Speaker 1: grab some duct tape. So we need to get my
Speaker 1: gals some sleep immediately, all right. But other than that,

Speaker 1: Every game matters, you know what else matters? Because I

Speaker 1: for Miss Taylor Swift. Yeah, I need to give a moment,
Speaker 1: take a moment, take a moment of silence for our girl.
Speaker 1: The end of the Eras tour two years, two billion dollars,
Speaker 1: But most importantly, the news that came out today, which
Speaker 1: is why she is one of one, is giving out
Speaker 1: over one hundred and seventy five million or whatever the
Speaker 1: final number was of additional bonuses to her crew. Of course,
Speaker 1: she made headlines when she donates food at the local
Speaker 1: food banks. It's just she continues to impress me. Just
Speaker 1: when you think you can. She can't get more impressive
Speaker 1: in who she is as a you know, performer, but
Speaker 1: also as a person giving out additional bonuses for her crew.
Speaker 1: I just take a lesson everybody out there. I don't
Speaker 1: care if you have five dollars to give people that
Speaker 1: help you or you know, fifty million. It's like, just
Speaker 1: take care of the people around you. And I love
Speaker 1: her for that, and kudos to her because, you know,
Speaker 1: we talk all the time about you know, jobs are demanding,
Speaker 1: and your traveling and your this and that. I remember
Speaker 1: when we went to the one in June and then
Speaker 1: thinking about her performing night after night, like we were
Speaker 1: tired after one night and we weren't performing. So what
Speaker 1: she's done for two years is incredible. And the fact
Speaker 1: that she's got on a plane after performing in Tokyo
Speaker 1: flew all the way to Las Vegas for her boyfriend's
Speaker 1: game in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Like, I just love her.
Speaker 1: She's just great and Bravo's sister on a job well
Speaker 1: done on the Era's Tour tour.
Speaker 2: I loved I have.
Speaker 1: My sister is a dancer. My sister did some professional dancing,
Speaker 1: and we always we know a lot of people in
Speaker 1: the industry and one thing I've kind of always learned
Speaker 1: through my sister is when artists take care of their
Speaker 1: dancers and they have such a great relationship with their dancers,
Speaker 1: that's really cool. My sister always kind of tells me
Speaker 1: stories about who does who's great. Like Ken told me
Speaker 1: when the Celine Dion traveling tour, not not her residency,
Speaker 1: but the tour, her dancers were obsessed with her and
Speaker 1: she always took care of her dancers, And I think
Speaker 1: that's so cool when people are tight with them. You
Speaker 1: could tell from the clips last night, like as they
Speaker 1: were all walking off and hugging her, I mean they Yeah.
Speaker 1: My sister was like, oh my god, this breaks me
Speaker 1: up because, like you can just tell she loves them
Speaker 1: so much. That's a lot of time with those people.
Speaker 1: They're away from.
Speaker 2: Their family, but they're also living their dream because of her.
Speaker 2: It was really cool.
Speaker 1: I love seeing all that last night off them just
Speaker 1: hugging her and thanking her.
Speaker 2: It was really really special. She's amazing.
Speaker 1: I hope she gets the time off that she deserves
Speaker 1: she enjoys the rest of the football season with her. Man.
Speaker 1: I was kind of waiting to see if there was footage.
Speaker 1: I was trying to do the math. Okay, can he
Speaker 1: get on a plane from Kansas City and go meet.
Speaker 2: Her out like at her celebration?
Speaker 1: But I know that that's a long flight, and obviously
Speaker 1: he just played an amazing game himself. But yeah, go
Speaker 1: enjoy your man, girl, Go enjoy the rest of this
Speaker 1: amazing football season. And if you ever want to get
Speaker 1: a drink or hang out, we know two good hangs.
Speaker 2: I promised to be super normal. She will, She should
Speaker 2: be on her best.
Speaker 1: Actually, you know where you know we're not going to
Speaker 1: be going We're not going to be going to karaoke,
Speaker 1: But you, my dear, have put it out there in
Speaker 1: the universe that you are great at karaoke. And it
Speaker 1: has been brought to my attention by some members on
Speaker 1: your crew that you are not just thinking you're.
Speaker 2: Good because of a few cocktails.
Speaker 1: Kevin Burkhart, Grossy Casey, and Jason Bob Ak Bob have
Speaker 1: taken it to the streets and take an act. In fact,
Speaker 1: I believe that we have one of those members joining

Speaker 1: lot of people I know have thoughts about him. And
Speaker 1: ooh they have the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders starting up. I
Speaker 1: love them. I know a lot of people like you know.
Speaker 1: Mike has even said I've heard a lot of people
Speaker 1: say some things, but I love a guy that speaks
Speaker 1: his mine.
Speaker 2: It's great. I enjoy him. I like authenticity.
Speaker 1: I like people who don't apologize for who they are,
Speaker 1: and that's whether the you like them or not.
Speaker 2: I like consistency.
Speaker 1: I like people that just you know, like what you
Speaker 1: see is what you're gonna get. This is not the
Speaker 1: segue into the story, but today because I'm very decisive
Speaker 1: in my life, Like today when I was shopping, I
Speaker 1: when I'm in I know exactly what you're the person
Speaker 1: the sales associate was like, wow, you know exactly what
Speaker 1: you want? I'm like, sure, do I'm this I'm this,
Speaker 1: I'm this, I'm this. I'm a person who has purchased
Speaker 1: homes and never even went and looked at them. I
Speaker 1: got an inspection, I saw them online. And whatever I
Speaker 1: purchase cars, I don't even go and test drive it.
Speaker 2: I just know what I want.
Speaker 1: We all know what I've done in marriages, so it
Speaker 1: doesn't always work out, but I am very decisive.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: I was sitting there getting something quickly to eat before
Speaker 1: we jumped on here, and I was at a restaurant
Speaker 1: and I was like, I got twenty minutes. We got
Speaker 1: to get the order in, we got to pay, we
Speaker 1: got to eat, We're in, we're out. So the woman
Speaker 1: she drops off the menu. I go, oh, you don't
Speaker 1: even need to go anywhere. I was like, I'm got this, this, this.
Speaker 1: She's like, okay, fine. So I'm waiting for the food,
Speaker 1: and there's these gals that sit down next to me,
Speaker 1: nice enough group.
Speaker 2: There's like three or four of them.
Speaker 1: From the time that I put my order into the
Speaker 1: time that I left, it was probably maybe twenty two minutes.
Speaker 1: If I was to clock this thing, twenty two minutes,
Speaker 1: and this group next to me couldn't even figure out
Speaker 1: their order.
Speaker 2: They were going back and forth and well do I
Speaker 2: want this? Do I want that? Look into the mind,
Speaker 2: Well what are you going to get? What are you
Speaker 2: gonna get?
Speaker 1: By the time I left, I want to be like, look, bitch,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have that. You're gonna have that. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have that, You're gonna have that. It is wild to
Speaker 1: me you are going to waste twenty two minutes of
Speaker 1: your life deciding what you're going to order to eat, Like,
Speaker 1: let's go, don't you have things to do? Or there
Speaker 1: are some times I feel like we've been out and
Speaker 1: we've been talking so much, they're like, do you have
Speaker 1: you had time to look at the menu?
Speaker 3: Not?
Speaker 1: That's different, That is that is different. That's because we're talking.
Speaker 1: We're catching up, so we haven't even looked at the menu.
Speaker 2: Babe.
Speaker 1: This was twenty two minutes of looking at the menu. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're flipping it. We're going back and forth. The waitress,
Speaker 1: this poor waitress brought over three times answering questions, does
Speaker 1: this have chicken in it?
Speaker 3: Does this?
Speaker 2: Is this vegan? Is this?
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, this poor waitress has already
Speaker 1: earned her money and she hasn't even taken their order yet.
Speaker 1: But he just was sitting there and I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine being that indecisive in my life. Imagine
Speaker 1: their husbands. He's like, Jesus, what are what are we
Speaker 1: going to do?
Speaker 2: Let's get on with it.
Speaker 1: And maybe that works for some people, and maybe some
Speaker 1: people think about me and they're like, Okay, just relaxed, lady,
Speaker 1: take a beat. But I can't imagine. We're moving, we're shaking,
Speaker 1: we're doing things.
Speaker 2: We got it ordered.
Speaker 1: This is not a decision on what you're going to
Speaker 1: name your child. This is lunch. Yeah, these are I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of a catchy thing to call these,
Speaker 1: like calm down, like observations or something that's what you
Speaker 1: saw in the streets today. I'm going to tell you
Speaker 1: what I saw in the streets today. Container store lady
Speaker 1: wants to return something. The woman and I'm holding like
Speaker 1: seven things trying to I'm like, I'm balancing.
Speaker 2: I'm like, ask, you.
Speaker 1: Haven't got the car because you thought you were just
Speaker 1: coming into one eye.
Speaker 2: Things are falling.
Speaker 1: I got ten seconds to get in and out make
Speaker 1: pilates this woman. The woman at the register goes, okay,
Speaker 1: so you want credit what do you want for this?
Speaker 1: She's like, i'd like credit for this. She goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you bought this in June. I could give you store credit.
Speaker 1: And she's like, yeah, i'll take that. So the lady goes,
Speaker 1: can I get your license please? And she goes why
Speaker 1: and she goes because the store credit. Like at this point,
Speaker 1: just just do what. She says, like, I'll hold in
Speaker 1: seven things. She's like, well, I don't want to give
Speaker 1: it to you. And then the lady's like, then I
Speaker 1: can't give you the store credit. It's to be under
Speaker 1: your name. I don't know, Like, we're only keeping the
Speaker 1: information here. What do you want like a stowaway? You're
Speaker 1: not supposed to be here? Like, why can't you give

Speaker 1: credit anyways, but I'm doing this. So then she's like fine.
Speaker 1: She goes through all this, the lady gets the credit,
Speaker 1: she doesn't even say thank you. So then I'm next,
Speaker 1: and the ladies like, have a nice day. I walk
Speaker 1: up and I go on, behalf of her. I'll say
Speaker 1: thank you, and she goes. This is how I look
Speaker 1: at it. That was five minutes of my time. I
Speaker 1: don't have to go home. Door was like right, I

Speaker 1: know about that, but whatever. I also understand. It's like,
Speaker 1: well this is the policy. Okay, well the policy needs
Speaker 1: to change. But I'm with you. If you don't want
Speaker 1: to if you don't want to give up a license
Speaker 1: and you're not going to get the credit, this is
Speaker 1: very simple. This is the way we do things. Either
Speaker 1: doing this way or you keep it moving. But yeah,

Speaker 1: into a full length mir and you're like god damn,
Speaker 1: like can we run the next So that big mirror

Speaker 1: is here's the problem with AI and all this other stuff.
Speaker 1: I really want this story to be true. I mean
Speaker 1: it shows a picture of the little cute. No, here's
Speaker 1: the deal. A mom is on a plane a ten
Speaker 1: hour flight from Soul, Korea to San Francisco. A mother
Speaker 1: handed out more than two hundred goodie bags with candy
Speaker 1: earplugs in case her four month old child cried during
Speaker 1: the fl and even included a note that said, Hello,
Speaker 1: I'm John Wiu and I'm four months old.
Speaker 2: She's writing it like she's the baby. Today.
Speaker 1: I'm going to the US with my mom and my
Speaker 1: grandma to see my aunt. I'm a little nervous and
Speaker 1: scared because it's my first flight in life, which means
Speaker 1: I may cry or make too much noise. I will
Speaker 1: try to go quietly, though I can't make any promises.
Speaker 1: Please excuse me. So my mom prepared little goodie bags
Speaker 1: for you. It has some candies and ear plugs. Please
Speaker 1: use it when it's too noisy because of me.
Speaker 2: Enjoy your trip. Hi, n I can't even handle that.
Speaker 1: Like that is the sweetest talk about me thinking I'm
Speaker 1: I'm getting cocky with my auxiliary gifts back here, two
Speaker 1: hundred gift bags of can't anxiety when she was getting
Speaker 1: ready for this trip and now I got to make
Speaker 1: candy bags and how many sweetest thing I ever did see?
Speaker 1: And by the way, like a ten hour flight with
Speaker 1: a baby, and to think like how she could when
Speaker 1: a natural thing for a baby is to cry. She's
Speaker 1: thinking about other people's reaction.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: I really hope on that flight no one gave her
Speaker 1: one look, one whatever, And I hope that everyone was
Speaker 1: nice to her, because that is just so sweet. I
Speaker 1: can't take it. It's so sweet, it's so thoughtful. It's
Speaker 1: also we thought Dan Campbell really you know, like went
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 2: She really went for it with that ten hour flight. Wow,
Speaker 2: this is going forward.
Speaker 3: I can.
Speaker 1: With my eighteen month old a ten hour flight with
Speaker 1: a four month old.
Speaker 2: You go, girl, I see how you good for you?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, wow, speaking of children, you you take
Speaker 1: Mac to a little gym. You sent Steve and I
Speaker 1: a video the other day. You would think that Steve's
Speaker 1: the father because he was so concerned about Max's head
Speaker 1: in the video when he's rolling the back flip. Everything
Speaker 1: is safe, everything is monitored, and Steve goes, I don't
Speaker 1: know if he should be doing that. I go, well,
Speaker 1: his parents sent us the video and they're fine with it.
Speaker 2: So one thing I'm so thankful.
Speaker 1: For with are our child care is that they are doers.
Speaker 1: He is not sitting around in a little squared off area.
Speaker 1: They are out. Mac is busy. People want to come
Speaker 1: see him. He doesn't have time. He's out, he's socializing.
Speaker 1: He's doing a lot of adventures, which is what one
Speaker 1: of our nanny says, which is so frickin' night nice.
Speaker 1: So one of the adventures I was home for because
Speaker 1: we had a home game this week and I decided
Speaker 1: I want to go. I want to go with Mackie
Speaker 1: to this gym. Be a part of it. See how
Speaker 1: it goes well. It was so nerve wracking and so stressful.
Speaker 1: There weren't a lot of children in the class. I
Speaker 1: don't know where all the children were, but they weren't there,
Speaker 1: and it was me and another mom and a little
Speaker 1: girl and so yeah, Max, I wouldn't say his it's
Speaker 1: like me right now. His not his patients. His attention,
Speaker 1: well attention ladies and gentlemen. His attention wasn't all there,
Speaker 1: and like it was really highly skilled, like stuff, We're
Speaker 1: gonna go up and over here and then up on
Speaker 1: top of here and then jump here and then leap here.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what happens after we get off the thing?
Speaker 1: And it's like Mac is trying to do it. He's
Speaker 1: off over here.
Speaker 2: So I'm like trying not to be the nagging mom
Speaker 2: where I'm like no, no.
Speaker 1: No, this way, this way, this way, but it's like
Speaker 1: we got to follow, and then you know, the instructor
Speaker 1: is over with this kid.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, am I supposed to go on this trampoline? Anyways?
Speaker 1: Jarrett would have hated it. It's so stressful. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get the kid. All the kid wants to do
Speaker 1: is go over on the mat and run. So I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, there's nobody here in this gym.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with my kid onto this mat
Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to come over here, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna start screaming. So we start running around the mat.
Speaker 1: He's screaming and so much fun. I start screaming and
Speaker 1: so much fun. He picks up a scarf and like
Speaker 1: throws it in the air. I pick up a scarf
Speaker 1: and throw it in the air.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is great. We got reprimanded. Oh no,
Speaker 2: you're not allowed to get creative liberties in the class.
Speaker 1: And I ended understand where they're coming from. We got
Speaker 1: told you need to stay with your group. I understand
Speaker 1: they're probably concerned if we fell then it could be
Speaker 1: somebody got to the specifics. What did she say, ma'am, Eric,
Speaker 1: excuse me, ma'am, you have to stay with your group. No,
Speaker 1: my group was right there.
Speaker 2: What did you do when she said that?
Speaker 1: I couldn't apologize enough. In fact, after I apologized twenty times,
Speaker 1: it went back over and said, listen, I'm not a
Speaker 1: war breaker at all, but like I kind of figured
Speaker 1: he needed to blow off some steam here, and he
Speaker 1: wasn't really following the direction, so that's all made fine.
Speaker 2: I felt terrible. I looked at our nanny and I.
Speaker 1: Was like, I'm never going there again. I can't ever
Speaker 1: go back. I can't ever show face there again. My
Speaker 1: armpits were sweating. It was such an ordeal. I made
Speaker 1: it worse than I needed to. But anyways, it was
Speaker 1: so stressful, and my kid didn't want.
Speaker 2: To do all this shit.
Speaker 1: He just wanted to run and I was so excited
Speaker 1: because I was running after him. And you're paying to
Speaker 1: get reprimanded. You're getting into your public class.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: But you know what you did the right thing, okay,
Speaker 1: and look you apologize to the person your kid had fun.
Speaker 2: Everyone wins. Jared would have.
Speaker 1: Been, we have to get out of here. We have
Speaker 1: to get out of here, right, I'm like driving away
Speaker 1: like this, but it was like, how great is that place?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can never go back. Look for you
Speaker 1: think you would have think you would have thought, I like,
Speaker 1: knock something over, it broke, it spilled. No, we just
Speaker 1: were on the floor routine, putting on a floor routine, and.
Speaker 2: We were told to go back with our group. Score
Speaker 2: ten for you. You're a great mom. Look at you.
Speaker 2: You knew what your child did. Because all stressful.
Speaker 1: So is Christmas shopping, so is all of it. But
Speaker 1: you know what, we have each other.
Speaker 2: We got this. I need you to get a good
Speaker 2: night's sleep because I feel better. Go in the other room.
Speaker 2: You're fine and I love you.

Speaker 1: I have multiple work husbands, as you do, Chrissa.
Speaker 2: This is one of them.
Speaker 1: Kevin Burkhardt self proclaim self proclaimed work husband Jason Thornberry
Speaker 1: from the NFL on Fox A Crew statistician.
Speaker 2: How many years have you held that job, my friend.
Speaker 3: With the A crew.
Speaker 4: I think this is a six year, but I've been
Speaker 4: at Fox for twenty now, twenty one something like that.
Speaker 2: Wow, what would you start with?
Speaker 4: Well, my very very first thing was doing just scoring
Speaker 4: baseball games on the studio show, so they'd have guys
Speaker 4: come in keep scoring, so everybody knew what was going on.
Speaker 4: And that's what I did. My friend Brian Biederman said, Hey,
Speaker 4: you want to come in on a Saturday and score
Speaker 4: some games? And I said yeah. And he's now a
Speaker 4: big director at Fox. He doesn't call him. The one
Speaker 4: thing led to another, and here I am today getting
Speaker 4: to work with fabulous.
Speaker 1: I love that Berkhart, Tom Brady, Tom Rinaldi, they the
Speaker 1: name a few.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good.
Speaker 1: So last week on our podcast, have you guys met before?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we were in passing. I don't get
Speaker 1: the privilege of being on the road with you guys.
Speaker 1: Wish I wish in an alternate universe we could like
Speaker 1: all be together. We had the preseason game, which was
Speaker 1: fun but still not enough time. But yeah, Aaron of
Speaker 1: course loves you guys so much, and I'm so glad
Speaker 1: has all of you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so last week I was telling Chris all about
Speaker 1: our experience in the karaoke I was gonna say karaoke room,
Speaker 1: but really it was our meeting room at our hotel.
Speaker 1: We after our Thanksgiving dinner, decided let's bust out the
Speaker 1: karaoke machine.
Speaker 2: I was a little timid to start it.
Speaker 1: Jason, who we all lovingly call Thorn on our crew,
Speaker 1: went right after it, went right after it.
Speaker 2: He was the master of ceremonies.
Speaker 1: Then I started feeling comfortable, started feeling really comfortable with myself,
Speaker 1: felt like I was doing the backup singing, backup dancing,
Speaker 1: sometimes doing it on my own. In our conversation in
Speaker 1: our podcast last week, Chrisa said, I she laughed at
Speaker 1: me and said, I don't know if I believe you that. Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, explain yourself. I was surprised Jason that she
Speaker 1: said that she was a good singer. Aaron and I
Speaker 1: have been friends for fifteen twenty years, and I didn't
Speaker 1: know this about her. So I simply said, who else
Speaker 1: thinks you're a good singer? And she said, I will
Speaker 1: get some guys from the crew to co operate this,
Speaker 1: you know, self proclaimed I'm a great singer situation, So
Speaker 1: here you are. I just wanted to make sure that
Speaker 1: it wasn't, you know, a few glasses of wine that
Speaker 1: made her believe and have false confidence, because look, no
Speaker 1: one is a bigger fan of a karaoke night than
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 2: So what was her strength?
Speaker 4: Well, her strength was the dancing. I said, Oh, if
Speaker 4: you're doing karaoke, you're gonna need a dancer. You gotta
Speaker 4: call Aaron Andrews.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean she never stopped stop. It was like, you know,
Speaker 4: regular dancing. But then she throws some drill team cheerleading
Speaker 4: moves into it, you know, like.
Speaker 2: Stuff like that Dazzler days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then a random leid kick here and there.
Speaker 3: It was great. It was great.
Speaker 2: That's when I pee myself. Actually, yeah, there was.
Speaker 4: One part where I think her family called, her husband called.
Speaker 4: She took it out in the in the hallway, but
Speaker 4: then she heard us song she came running back in dancing.
Speaker 4: So the singing part of it, she was a little
Speaker 4: timid on the singing, and she would like bring me
Speaker 4: up there to do Tracy Chapman with her. And then
Speaker 4: you know, I was like, you're good, you can do this,
Speaker 4: you got it. And then she would belt out the
Speaker 4: tomb and then we did I think we did Madonna together.
Speaker 3: Uh what was that all the night with.
Speaker 2: Like a prayer?
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: I thought that was a great way to send everyone home.
Speaker 4: I kind of started, but then I handed it off
Speaker 4: to her and she she belt it out the tunes.
Speaker 3: She went a few others too. She was good. She
Speaker 3: was good.
Speaker 4: No one's good. Just carry o first of all. Oh,
Speaker 4: and well, I'm just saying like the bar isn't exactly.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying out for Broadway, okay. And I like
Speaker 4: to go out, have a good time and seeing a few,
Speaker 4: uh you know, television hits of the seventies and eighties,
Speaker 4: and throw in a few more stuff and call it
Speaker 4: a night.
Speaker 3: But she was good, she was she was good, Thorn.
Speaker 1: I'm missing the a whole intro to how you began
Speaker 1: karaoke that night. I had told you, after many cocktails
Speaker 1: that I really, really, really badly want to do Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live. You had said, if you do it, would
Speaker 1: you please think about doing this as a skit hit it.
Speaker 4: Well, I've always had the idea that if I was
Speaker 4: ever on Saturday Night Live, I was singing television theme
Speaker 4: songs from the seventies and eighties as like a lounge singer,
Speaker 4: you know, a cigarette dangling out of my mouth.
Speaker 3: And then it dawned on me. I'm sitting there in
Speaker 3: this room there.
Speaker 4: We got a microphone, we got an amplifier, so I
Speaker 4: just went and no one's singing. So I went up,
Speaker 4: I grabbed it, flipped it on, and started belting out
Speaker 4: the you know now the world don't move to the
Speaker 4: beat ad just one drone, So I started belting those
Speaker 4: out nuh. Then I got everybody into it, and then
Speaker 4: all of a sudden we were doing karaoke all night long.
Speaker 1: It was great, amazing. Mine would be the full house
Speaker 1: theme song.
Speaker 2: I think they go everywhere there's a place of some Oh,
Speaker 2: I can only be seventies and eighties. It was a
Speaker 2: very sif.
Speaker 3: My range, Jefferson's and facts love.
Speaker 1: It brings great joy to me to know that Aaron,
Speaker 1: amongst her many skills, can now add in her arsenal
Speaker 1: karaoke singer and not only cooperated by you, but also
Speaker 1: by Grossy, by Casey, and by Kevin Burkhardt. So I
Speaker 1: stand corrected, Aaron, you have a wonderful voice, and I
Speaker 1: cannot wait to get on the mic with you. Our
Speaker 1: next time that we have an opportunity will to be probably.
Speaker 2: The super Bowl, So watch out in New Orleans. That'll
Speaker 2: be dream.
Speaker 4: Heyd's just a little more confidence.
Speaker 1: I need a lot of false content, so I'm happy
Speaker 1: to give her some thorn give all our listeners who
Speaker 1: are massive football fans, A lot of them are just.
Speaker 2: Look into a peek into your wheat.
Speaker 1: How you are prepared preparing for our massive Steelers Eagles
Speaker 1: showdown this weekend, big.
Speaker 3: Show it on? How do I prepare well? On Mondays?
Speaker 4: Usually I usually watch our game that we just did,
Speaker 4: and then I watched the games the two teams we have,
Speaker 4: make some notes, and then on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays,
Speaker 4: I start making my notes. For matt Yale, our broadcast associate.
Speaker 4: He and I kind of do well. He and I
Speaker 4: the whole graphics team make these graphics for the games,
Speaker 4: put pop the on air, and everybody says, wow, that's
Speaker 4: a good note.
Speaker 3: So during the week you gotta prepare and get ready
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 4: So I sent them a bunch of notes during the week,
Speaker 4: and we pre build a bunch of graphics and then
Speaker 4: hopefully during the game we get some of those on.
Speaker 4: Then we react to the game during the game and
Speaker 4: make graphics on the fly. But that's generally it. So
Speaker 4: by Thursday, I've sent them my notes. Friday fly out
Speaker 4: to our game Saturday night, hopefully I'm doing karaoke.
Speaker 2: We'll be in Philly.
Speaker 1: We'll be at that great restaurant, probably with our our
Speaker 1: top by and in our pants un done. But that's
Speaker 1: because of the food so great, not because of any
Speaker 1: other reason, So don't get crazy. Wait, Thorn, what was
Speaker 1: your favorite scat or graphic that was on television yesterday
Speaker 1: from our Amazing Bills Rams game? Did you have one
Speaker 1: that you were like? Because you're in the truck and
Speaker 1: you are feeding things too, either our producer director, are
Speaker 1: you feeding things.
Speaker 2: To Kevin and tell them sometimes I'm texting you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I usually come up with something or one
Speaker 4: of the guys in the truck, Elvis the Fox Box operator,
Speaker 4: he's part of it too. Mike Eldrid shout out the
Speaker 4: knuckleheads of Michigan City, Indiana his bar, and then Jacksicato
Speaker 4: he's there too, doing stats on the staff. So we're
Speaker 4: all kind of, you know, thinking of the same same things.
Speaker 4: And uh, I guess the I don't know if it's
Speaker 4: the best one, but the one that sticks out was
Speaker 4: Josh Allen. He had three rushing touchdowns with three passing
Speaker 4: touchdowns and he was the first guy in the NFL
Speaker 4: history to do that in the regular season. But I
Speaker 4: wish we didn't have time. It's very you have to
Speaker 4: be very quick, right, So I would like to have
Speaker 4: put that Otto Graham did it in the playoffs. Who
Speaker 4: But if you look at the note on the screen,
Speaker 4: it said regular season on the top. That's because it
Speaker 4: was actually done once in the postseason by Ito Graham
Speaker 4: way back when in like nineteen fifty four or something.
Speaker 4: That would have been cool to have on there, but
Speaker 4: you have to be very quick, and so we didn't have.
Speaker 4: Really I was like, just just put it up there
Speaker 4: like that. It was fine, it was accurate, It was
Speaker 4: a great note, and our producer richie's ion Z liked it.
Speaker 3: Put it in and away we go.
Speaker 1: As you know, Aaron and I get very excited for stats,
Speaker 1: like we're such like in the best way, like we
Speaker 1: just like love a good stat. The fact that Josh,
Speaker 1: the Rams haven't beat the Bills at home since nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty three, that was a stat that stood out to me.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm I was born in eighty two,
Speaker 1: I'm old as shit, Like this has been a long
Speaker 1: time since the Rams have been the Bills at home.
Speaker 4: They don't play that often, but it's only been five
Speaker 4: five games. But still nineteen eighty three. So that was
Speaker 4: one of the walkoff notes we had if if the
Speaker 4: Rams won. But you know, we had another one too,
Speaker 4: and there's not a lot of time and it didn't
Speaker 4: get on.
Speaker 2: But what was the other one?
Speaker 3: I was the one that got on that I forget
Speaker 3: there whatever. There.
Speaker 4: It was the first time all year they've had a
Speaker 4: winning record, the Rams. They started off slow, they've chipped away,
Speaker 4: chipped away. Now they have a winning record, so they're happy.
Speaker 1: The last one because Josh Allen is the fact that
Speaker 1: he did all that in a losing effort is just
Speaker 1: tells you how crazy that game was.
Speaker 2: But didn't the week before.
Speaker 1: That he had, for the first time ever receiving a
Speaker 1: rushing and a passing touchdown like this, So back.
Speaker 3: To back weeks he's done things that are unheard of, basically.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the other amazing thing about that game was that
Speaker 4: you had all these points scored, there wasn't one turnover
Speaker 4: or one sack. Right, it's amazing that a touchdown, but
Speaker 4: it wasn't one turnover, one sack.
Speaker 3: So crazy, crazy game.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you. Since
Speaker 1: I have you on here, I know you're a massive
Speaker 1: Seahawks fan, right ish, Oh, there we go.
Speaker 2: Okay, the lookers to grab the mug. There we go.
Speaker 1: So I've got the Niners and the Rams for my
Speaker 1: Thursday night matchup this week. And we were on a
Speaker 1: call this morning talking about the NFC West race and
Speaker 1: Suan was saying that he thinks.
Speaker 2: That Seattle will pull it out. Whatever.
Speaker 1: Give all of the Seahawks fans a reason to believe
Speaker 1: that they will win the West given how tight it is.
Speaker 4: The reason to believe is their defense has gotten massively
Speaker 4: better since they cashed out to I don't want to
Speaker 4: rip anybody in your podcast, but they started the year
Speaker 4: with two linebackers who are no longer with the team,
Speaker 4: and they brought in Ernest Jones. They're starting this rookie
Speaker 4: in the middle, and they've been awesome since then. And
Speaker 4: I don't have to stay out the top of my fingers,
Speaker 4: but they haven't done They haven't allowed too many points
Speaker 4: since then. They had the big game against the Bills
Speaker 4: that we did and they got killed, but that was
Speaker 4: still with like one of the bad linebackers who's no
Speaker 4: longer a team. But that move, and it's a massive
Speaker 4: move in the middle of the season to cash out
Speaker 4: your middle linebackerers and say we're gonna throw caution to
Speaker 4: the win. But the defense was not good. Mike McDonald
Speaker 4: he's known for defense, and he's the guy and hit
Speaker 4: his schemes he's come up with and actually been pretty
Speaker 4: amazing in sometimes a couple of games ago, when Leonard
Speaker 4: Williams had the pick six, that was all scheme. I
Speaker 4: won't go into it because you know it's the Calm
Speaker 4: Down podcast. We don't want to get calmed up. But
Speaker 4: it was all scheme. And then the guy took it
Speaker 4: to the house. And to watch a three hundred pound
Speaker 4: man run that fast as that's remarkable to anyway. The
Speaker 4: point is Seahawks fans should be encouraged because the offense
Speaker 4: still hasn't hit its stride, I don't think. And Kenneth
Speaker 4: Walker has been a little banged up yesterday and the
Speaker 4: offense hits its stride. The defense is good now and
Speaker 4: they're they're as good as anybody in the in the division.
Speaker 4: Forty nine ers have fallen off rams are coming along.
Speaker 4: They're kind of that's going to be a massive game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the year, I think the seas can not
Speaker 1: just make the playoffs, but you know, do something in
Speaker 1: the playoffs.
Speaker 3: We'll see.
Speaker 2: All right, there we go.
Speaker 1: Do you have a little nugget for us for our
Speaker 1: game on Sunday in Philadelphia? Anything should just really get
Speaker 1: us going, get us Okay, yeah, I'll Herery come downy.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've just started delving into this, so this
Speaker 3: isn't her shattwing.
Speaker 4: But the Eagles got a nine game winning streak going
Speaker 4: and during that time, Jalen Hurts has twenty three touchdowns
Speaker 4: passing and rushing and only two turnovers.
Speaker 3: So the guy.
Speaker 4: Maybe their pass offense isn't light in the world on fire,
Speaker 4: but they're still getting it done. Twenty three to two,
Speaker 4: it's pretty darn good. But the interesting matchup in the
Speaker 4: game is that in that span since I think Week six,
Speaker 4: the Steelers have twenty takeaways their defense, which is the
Speaker 4: second most in the league, and the Eagles have three turnovers.
Speaker 2: So something. Yeah, I'm all horned up over here. That's amazing.
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Well, I know, what.
Speaker 2: About Christians game on Thursday? What do you have for us?
Speaker 3: Uh? Forty nine Ers rams.
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford since he's gotten his his receivers back, Coopa
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup and Pooka Nkua. He has sixteen touchdowns and
Speaker 4: three interceptions in that time. They're five and two and
Speaker 4: they're rolling.
Speaker 1: Like we saw yesterday, that catch that Pooka had on
Speaker 1: the sideline was being insane to have the Now it
Speaker 1: was number eighty in your program, number one in your hearts,
Speaker 1: you know, and a congressman.
Speaker 2: He's there for the people.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, that was a ridiculous catch. So good
Speaker 1: and is there like a happier person in life than
Speaker 1: Pooka and Akua?
Speaker 4: This guy the soccer show Football's life so good, he's awesome.
