First up, we're going to start with 33 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: fashion icon, businesswoman, podcast host, mother, and so much more, 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: Rachel Zoh and apparently I'll never forget when she told 35 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: us she had the fig candles in her house, which 36 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: every time I go to smell them, I always think 37 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: about me in her house, which I've never been and 38 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for the invite. Um, you know, her 39 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: burning those puppies. We talked to her about work life balance, 40 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: raising a family while dominating the business world, the fashion world. 41 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: She was awesome. She was awesome. I always wanted to 42 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: be her. Remember watching her reality show, and she just 43 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: had these amazing outfits and jewelry. And I think my 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: favorite parties you'll hear in the interview is she truly 45 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: is a girl's girl. And I loved, loved love getting 46 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: to what I thought she was actually being able to 47 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: validate that interview enjoy totally. I think there's a big 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: misconception about marriage. You hear people say very often like 49 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: when they associate marriage with like um part of their life. 50 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: They go, well, marriage is hard. Marriage is is really hard. 51 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: And I think Roger and I did that are always 52 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: like that's where you're actually wrong, Like like Roger and 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: I always say, it's so funny. It's like everything else 54 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: in life is hard. Like we're the easy part, like 55 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: your husband and wife. That should be where you come 56 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: home and you're like, it's like your safe person, it's 57 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: your easy let your guard down, just be you. Like 58 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: that should be the thing that's the most effortless thing 59 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: in your life. It should never be the challenge. The 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: minute it's the challenge, I think that's where you have 61 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: to like take a step back because this is your 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: forever right. So not that it doesn't have like ups 63 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: and downs, because of course it does. Any relationship does, 64 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: but you know, I just don't think it should be. 65 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: It's very Aaron's parents are still together, My parents are 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: still together. So I'm just always in awe and envious 67 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: of of that. So kudos you. It should never be 68 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: overlooked because it is, especially in the world that you 69 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: guys live in. You know, to have that anchor that 70 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 1: keeps you and you know you said it. He lets 71 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: you be you and you let him be him. So 72 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful, beautiful relationship. Just observing with that, Let 73 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: me ask because I am so intrigued and I was 74 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: dying to just talk to you with how much you juggle, 75 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: with how much you have your hands in and my gosh, 76 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: fashion social media, I mean on Bravo back in the day, 77 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: um now wallpaper all of the I mean I was 78 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: sending links of it to my sister today and I 79 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: was like, this is so good for you for your 80 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: apartment and to give you some life.

She changes your life. But before 83 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: we get to that, I have to ask you, Rachel, 84 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: with you involved in so much and I don't know 85 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: how you operate in terms of I have so many 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: ideas and I have so many things. I am trying 87 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: really hard in my marriage almost a five years who 88 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: um to stay present and be where your feet are 89 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: and give him the time he needs, especially when I'm 90 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: not during my season. How do you do that with 91 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: your marriage with your kids? What do you do? Well? Okay, 92 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: so here's the thing. Um. You know, we just launched 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: our second venture fund, and I think, you know, my 94 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: biggest thing that I've become really obsessed with over the 95 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: last year or two is really having my hands in 96 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: a lot of different businesses and really like consulting, advising, investing, UM. 97 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: And I think all the other things like you mentioned 98 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: the wallpaper and fragrance and all these other things. I'm 99 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: it's weird. I'm a creative person. I'm definitely a creative person. 100 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: I've been my whole life before I even knew it. 101 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: And I think when you're a creative person, there's this 102 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: um kind of like this ticking thing in your body 103 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: that like explodes if you're not stimulated right, and you 104 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: have to like project that creativity on everything you do. 105 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: And so for example, okay, I'm just gonna say, like 106 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: my office, right, I must remerch and restyle these shells, 107 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: like twice a week, like I'll just be on the 108 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: phone with someone and stand up and start like re 109 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: styling books and things. So you're dying and so I think, 110 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: I think to that extent, I think my career for me, 111 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: I've never planned any of it, not my books. Everything 112 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: I ever said no to I did. I was like, 113 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: oh god, no, I'd never write a book on any 114 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: marine books? Who was time? You know? And and you 115 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: know and TV shows like I'm never letting anyone in 116 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: my life like all those things. But I think there's 117 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: a time and a place, and I've definitely always been 118 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: governed by my gut instinct for things. And when opportunities come, 119 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: it's not always the right time. It's not always the 120 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: right um people that you want to do business with, 121 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: And I think those things kind of pull you into 122 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: things now becoming a mom and and much later in life. 123 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: By the way, um Ildier and I we Roger and 124 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: I were together. Raise yourself when I tell people this 125 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: out loud, it sounds crazy. We were together for eighteen 126 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: years before we had child. But I remember you got 127 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: and again because your life was out there with your show. 128 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: It was weird, not weird, that's it was. Well, no, 129 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: it was just you were you were this like dynamo 130 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: and continue to be right with like the business side 131 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: and Aaron and I have talked about this for a 132 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: long time. When is the right time to have kids 133 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: or how it's going to disrupt my business? And so 134 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 1: then when you you know, to think now with your children, 135 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: like who knew what your life looked like before those boys? Right? 136 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: Because now there the whole world, and so when is 137 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: that right time to shift up and what made it 138 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: change for you guys and decide like, hey, we need 139 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: to do this and we want to do this now time, 140 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: really time, because you know, it's a weird thing because 141 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: I was this weird hybrid of a completely career obsessed, 142 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: perfectionist workaholic for my whole adult life. Those types of 143 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: people are not typically people that you say, oh, she's 144 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: going to be a mom, she needs to be a mom, 145 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: you know. But weirdly, since I was sixteen fifteen, I 146 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: was always called like mom's oh or you know, I 147 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: was always the mom. I was always the one taking 148 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: care of everybody. I was always the one, you know, 149 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: just I was the shoulder they cried on. I was 150 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: the ear I was at this. It was all those things. 151 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: And then when all my friends started having children, it 152 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: was funny because I'd be the one adult that was 153 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: invited to kid's birthdays that had no kids, and I 154 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: would be the one out there playing with kids while 155 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: all the parents were like drinking wine in an amazing, 156 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: flowing down designer gown as she's out there, likely as 157 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: I was definitely a nails I was, definitely, but it 158 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: was weird. So this I was very, very conflicted because 159 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: I knew in my soul that I had to be 160 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: a mother because I loved children. I loved them. What 161 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: I couldn't solve for was how in God's name I 162 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: was going to have time to do that?

Are you guys 361 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: classy over there? No? I swear probably too much. I 362 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: think it actually freaks people out because they're so used 363 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: to me not swearing on television. They're like, who is this? Yeah, 364 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: it's just it's actually we're trying to work on. It's 365 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: a tough one to break. I also feel like kind 366 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: of boring when I'm just not swearing as much. I like, 367 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: just by my sentences a bit, had a little flare. 368 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: He's going to go into one of our segments we're 369 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: gonna have with you about Canadian or is it just 370 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: Jared about swearing? Don't worry? How is being married to 371 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: a Canadian? What's like the other side? They won't get 372 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: to that. I mean, that's gonna be part of our 373 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: segment Canadian or just Jared? So I can't wait. Give 374 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: me the one thing. So you started in the industry 375 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: at what age? I mean I started like auditioning and 376 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: stuff like that, like around eighteen nineteen. But then I 377 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: was like broad Like I had my first broadcast, asking 378 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: on national television job at twenty three. So I think 379 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: it's awesome to you know, when like younger girls or 380 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: guys or whatever ask advice. Um on, you know, if 381 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: you could go back and tell your younger self something. 382 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: I also think it's important to continue to solicit advice 383 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: from people that I respect in the industry. Give yourself advice. 384 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: If you go back in time the eighteen year old 385 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: you or the twenty three year old you that you 386 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: now know that you didn't know. Then I would say, 387 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: be selective who you take advice from, because everybody wants 388 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: to dole and not everybody wants to dole advice. But 389 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: a lot of times, a lot of people can get 390 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: in your ears and it doesn't mean that that person 391 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: has the key to the castle. It doesn't mean that 392 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: they know what is right and what's wrong. I remember 393 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: early on in my career actually when I started doing 394 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: the show in Canada about wrestling, and one of the 395 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: guys and one of the executive producers at um ts N, 396 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: which is like the bigger sports station in Canada, was like, 397 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: don't do wrestling. No one's going to take you seriously. 398 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't even have to to be 399 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: taken seriously, Like that's not what I'm trying to do anyway, 400 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: So like, um, yeah, suck on that. But yeah, I 401 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: would just say, like, you know, find your people that 402 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: you trust, that you want to be the source of 403 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: people that you want to get information from, and of 404 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: course listen to people, and like you know, take things 405 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: with a grain of salt. Not everybody always has the answer. 406 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: There's no straight line of how you get somewhere, So 407 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: stick to what you know and what you like. And 408 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's really just getting in that 409 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: experience too, and knowing what your voice is as a 410 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: broadcast or who you want to be, and not letting 411 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: somebody really take the reins away from you on that. 412 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: I love that. I want to know about your marriage 413 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: and what you know before you jumped on, Chris and 414 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: I were talking about just life lessons. What makes it 415 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: work you married somebody that's in your field, in your 416 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: line of work. I you know, I'll be really candid. 417 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: I you know that's frowned upon in my world and 418 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: probably I don't know your world too, but I used 419 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: to be so worried about it in my twenties, and 420 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: I did. I dated athletes. I totally did. Because we're 421 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: you going to meet people for five to six days 422 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: a week, and like, sorry, a normal Joe Schmo isn't 423 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: going to understand my life going out here, going to bars. 424 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: And I would keep it really on the d l 425 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: about who I dated and yeah whatever, they were interested 426 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: in the same thing. And then obviously I ended up 427 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: marrying somebody in my line of work, not a sport 428 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: I covered at the time, but you did, and and 429 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: how is that and maybe fun stories from meeting going. 430 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: So when John and I first started dating, we kept 431 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: it under wraps for like a good six months before 432 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: anyone like, and it's like kind of hard. I mean, 433 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: we're always all together, we're on the road or at 434 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: the hotels, we're in the arenas, Like it is not 435 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,239 Speaker 1: easy to like really sweep that under the rug. Um. 436 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: Did you have an O ship moment where somebody caught 437 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: you and you had to like play it off, because 438 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: I definitely did in like a hotel lobby or something 439 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: like that. Yes, I've had. Yeah, there's two to come 440 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: to mind, there's one. So like there's always like the 441 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: TV hotel that like most people stay in, but a 442 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: lot of times wrestlers will stay and like the other 443 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: they don't book their own flights but they will often 444 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: book their own hotels. So I went and stayed at 445 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: the hotel John was at, and one of the other 446 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: wrestlers pulled up. He's like in his rental car and 447 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: he's like, what are you doing here? And I was like, 448 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: and I was so new at the time that I 449 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: wasn't even like sure that. I was like, oh do 450 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: I handle this situation that I was like, I don't know, 451 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: It's just a hotel. I booked me this. He's like, yeah, okay, 452 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: they sniffed me out so fast. But I also remember 453 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: another time John I have been together for a while 454 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: at this point, but um, one of it was JB 455 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: L who's like legendary wrestler.

Um. So I really 494 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: looked out that he's like so patient. Um. And I 495 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: actually think it helps for us that we're in the 496 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: same line of work, like wrestling such a weird world 497 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: that like, if you don't get it, I'm sure for 498 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 1: the people that are married to people that are outside 499 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: the business, so many people in wrestling are married to 500 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: people within the business, I'm sure when you're on the 501 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: outside of it, it is nice to just like take 502 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: a breather.

That's so glamorous 510 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: and you're exacting around and it's so exactly And of 511 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: course we're gonna finish up with one of our absolute favorites. 512 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: He's a three times Super Bowl champion, super Bowl m 513 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: v P.

Yeah yeah, yeah, which I yeah, okay, 519 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: and then raising his daughter Lily. I think that day 520 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 1: we talked to him, he had either just dropped her 521 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: off for first day of school had been a few 522 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: days ago. But I love Jules a sense of humor, 523 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: love is perspective and uh, he's turned into a little 524 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: podcaster out there as well. So we love our little 525 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: Julian Adelman. You and Aaron, of course, Aaron on the 526 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: sidelines for that Super Bowl against Atlanta and your incredible drive. 527 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: What was it, you know? Less than three minutes ago. 528 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: You guys are down by eight. I need the Julian 529 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: Edelman and the Aaron Andrews perspective. We'll start with you jewels. 530 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: As that was all unfolding and sort of what you 531 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: now can remember stepping back from it, you know, five 532 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: years later, five years later, Lady Gaga halftime by the way, right, chel, 533 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: I don't even know the halftime shows of the Super 534 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: Bowls we played. It been in so many you know, 535 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: count right, you know whatever? Um, yeah, three minutes to go? 536 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: When was that after the well did we have the 537 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: sack the High Tower sack bumble? Or was that the 538 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: Trey Flower sack? You know? So like once after we 539 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: came out a halftime. You know, I was a raw 540 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: rock guy. It's gonna be a hell of a story. 541 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: Let's do this guy start to get where? Yeah? Whatever? Um? 542 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: And then like first third down back we we we 543 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: hold them. I have a decent punt return, we go 544 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,479 Speaker 1: third down. I dropped the ball. So I'm sitting there like, damn, 545 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: that's not gonna be really good for going forward. We're 546 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: still down twenty four, and so then things just started clicking, 547 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, everyone kind of settled down, Like we weren't 548 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: really out of the game because they were blowing us out. 549 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: We were out of game because of self inflicted wounds, 550 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: a pick six and turnover in the red area, you know, 551 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: not doing well on third down, which is something we 552 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: completely talked about all week in fucking practice. I'm sorry 553 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: for swearing. Were you know, yeah, we never know, there's 554 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: there's courtesies. Um. So after Trey gets a sack, High 555 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: Tower gets a sack, our offense, we're starting to like 556 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: pick things up, guys are working, you know. It was 557 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: just nuts to see it go the way it did 558 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: and and my perspective during the game, I I never 559 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: think we're gonna lose, But the first time I watched 560 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: it on TV, I was like just as stunned as 561 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: everyone else. I'm like, how do how are we dad 562 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: to we do this? Like, you know, yeah, it's it's 563 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: weird because we've been in that situation and I know 564 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, in the Super Bowl, but we've 565 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: been behind large leads at halftime against Cleveland Brown's two 566 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: thousand thirteen. I believe Denver Broncos. We were down twenty 567 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: four zero at halftime against Peyton Man and came back 568 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: and won both those games. We had these crazy hero 569 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: type comeback wins, so I you knew it was in there. 570 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: It was just really about settling down and really worrying 571 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: about what you had to do on each and every play. 572 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: And it's kind of boring to hear on my perspective, 573 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: but that's really what it was like, guys. Just like 574 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: no one really wanted to jinx anything because we said 575 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: we saw things going right. So like like you would 576 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 1: look over it, like I would look. I always always 577 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: really close to Matthew Slater and he would sit over 578 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: like across from like the special teams area, and I'd 579 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: always get it. He'd always like look over at me. 580 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: I'd look over at him, and I'd be like, no, 581 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: we can't look candla, you know, like like so, I 582 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 1: don't know. Once we started getting those sacks and then 583 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: once we scored got both those two point conversions, which 584 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: people don't like, that's crazy to even realize how hard 585 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: that is and that we were able to do that. 586 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: Getting the two point conversion is very hard let alone too. 587 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: But after we did that and once we won that 588 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: toss w we were winning the game. So you know, 589 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,239 Speaker 1: it's It's just that's why he played the game right 590 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: there for those types of games, and we actually we 591 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: got a Mondola for that game, so we're gonna get 592 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: his perspective. I'm more interested in, like, what what is 593 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: your perspective, Aaron when you were on the sideline? Well, first, 594 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: I hold on, I'm asking the questions here. No, I 595 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: love that. Wait first, did you did you blake out 596 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: during that catch? Did you at any point like think 597 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: ship ship? Where? Like where is it? Where do you 598 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: remember about that catch? Well? I remember like that whole 599 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: week in practice. So that's called a shoot route, which 600 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: you either run a cross over versus one safety high 601 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 1: look or you run a middle read versus too safety 602 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: high look, which is you bend it and said, you know, 603 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: if it's too safeties, you're gonna bend it. Sell to 604 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: go and keep it to the near up right and 605 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: like the number one coaching point on that specific routes, 606 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: do not rush it. Be patient with the route because 607 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: we were getting that cover five looks, so you have 608 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: to make them feel like you're running the out route 609 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: to create operation and then you're gonna hit it to 610 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: the post. And I ran a shitty route and any 611 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: time the dB on a shoot route looks back at 612 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback before you do, you're like praying, like, oh funk, 613 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: we're about to throw an interception here. And so when 614 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: he looked back for the ball and tipped it, I 615 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: didn't see the other two defenders. I just saw that 616 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: he was in between us, me and the ball, which 617 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: is never a good look. So I just went to 618 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: go really try to like hopefully not let this thing 619 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: get picked. And all of a sudden, one thing happens. 620 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't really remember the rest, but I knew I 621 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: caught it. You know, it was all reactional type stuff. 622 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: So and then, you know, I remember trying to get 623 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: a Peter call. It's like Peter, Peter, Peter, which means 624 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: you're trying to get the whole team so you can 625 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: snap it quick. I knew I called it, but I 626 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: was like, hey, Tommy faked the Peter. So they call 627 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: it time out to challenge it, because then if they 628 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: do that, then you're gonna waste their time out. So 629 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: you know, I was like Peter, Peter, and we did that, 630 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: and you know, they challenged it and we thankfully got it. 631 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: It was a second intent. It wasn't that big of 632 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: a play. But Danny next play hits a crosser and 633 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: got contributions from everyone on the offense, and it was 634 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that was It's still crazy out there, you know, 635 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: Gronk out there to go out and do it. It's 636 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: a good one. Chris and I are so turned on 637 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: right now, like just you know, Across routed all of this. 638 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: But my perspective was was the Julio catch. Was Julio's 639 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: catch before that? The third down catch? Right that was 640 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: before this? Yeah? Because once so I just remember standing 641 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: there and you know, it's halftime and I'm talking to um, 642 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: who the heck did I talk to whatever? I don't 643 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: even remember, but it was just like this can't be. 644 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: It like and then of course selfishly, don't get mad. 645 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: We're thinking at Fox the super Bowl, damn it, everyone's 646 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: gonna be turning off their TVs now because they're down. 647 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: But then I was talking to somebody and they're like, 648 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: absolutely not because they want to see if these guys 649 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: can do it.
