Speaker 1: with Aaron Andrews. Their first guest Kevin Hart. Not a

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: bad gift for Carissa, and UM, I think you guys

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: are gonna like to talk with Carissa. Her career has

11
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: been pretty incredible and meteoric. She really talented, she knows sports.

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna love that. Before we get to

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: Carrissa Thompson obviously subscribe rate review, let me just quickly,

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm going totally off the reservation on this one. Okay.

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: I was batting around round ideas on Wednesday with Rob

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: what you would talk about you know what about this that?

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: He suggested Sam Donald even though he hates when I

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: talk Sam Donald. Um, he doesn't like when I go

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: to the Jets stuff. And Lebron sat out obviously last night,

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: Luca don Chet sat out resting for the All Star Game.

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't really care for the NBA All Star Game.

22
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: I know it was exciting last year. And then you know,

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: my kids are watching Friday Night Lights. I think I

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: told you we started watching the iconic NBC show. Um,

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: and we're in like fourth the fourth episode with Voodoo

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: Tatum transferring in. Uh. My kids are way into it,

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: and they're watching in a one room and in the

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: next room. I have on the NBA last night, and um,

29
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: you know I'm gambling on college basketball, had a gree

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: couple really good hits, Joel Embiide comes back for win.

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: And then I keep I keep watching this one game,

32
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: just morbid fascination with this guy named LaMelo Ball and

33
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: the Charlotte Hornets and and I for me, this is

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: the biggest story in sports right now. Okay, I don't

35
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: know if everybody's gonna agree, and sometimes that happens. And

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: guess what, you know, I don't care. The cool thing

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: is my podcast. I can kind of fire on whatever

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: I want within reason. Um. I was gonna tell you

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: guys about the story where the morning where my wife

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: and I almost got carjacked in a parking lot when

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: our car broke down, UM, one Sunday morning about I

42
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: don't know seven six or seven years ago. UM, terrifying experience.

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: And UM, I will recount it at one point. UM,

44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: but this LaMelo ball thing just started popping up to me.

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: And I'm watching LaMelo go at Anthony Edwards. Uh. It

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: was Timberwolves Hornets, and ordinarily you know who cares about

47
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: that game. But remember Anthony Edwards was the number one

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: pick in the draft and this was a little personal right.

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, LaMelo, he's he doesn't play any defense,

50
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: he's never been in a system. And folks, I went

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: and listened to the two draft guys we had at

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: Babcock and for Shila. We had them back in late

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: October early November. If you are a die hard podcast listener,

54
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: go back and listen to our LaMelo discussions. There was

55
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: a lot of trepidation around LaMelo Ball, and UM, you know,

56
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: nobody could have predicted this. Nobody. I don't want to

57
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: hear anybody saying LaMelo is gonna be awesome. This guy,

58
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm reluctant to use the word incredible

59
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: because he's nineteen. But LaMelo ball is must see TV

60
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: right now in the NBA, and Folks, I can guarantee

61
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: you this next season, the NBA will get a million

62
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Hornets games on TV because LaMelo is magnetic. I saw

63
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: a guest who we had on this podcast, Cuffs the Legend,

64
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: compared LaMelo to Magic Johnson, and I'm watching LaMelo in transition,

65
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: totally under control. He's got these wicked passes with the spin, fearless,

66
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: can finish with either hand. He's creative as hell. He

67
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: can splash threes. And I felt so bad watching Anthony

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: Edwards force a bad shot after bad shot. Listen, He's

69
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: playing on a bad team. The Timberwolves have the worst

70
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: record in the league and Edwards was one of ten

71
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: from deep minus twenty four. But he's playing with Karl,

72
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns, Ricky Rubio. This team is terrible. Meanwhile, the

73
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: Hornets are a playoff team in the East. And Folks,

74
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: it's because of LaMelo Ball. It's staggering how good this

75
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: guy's been. I can't get over how good. So think

76
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: about this a Lonzo Balls having the greatest season of

77
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: his young career. He's twenty three years old. He's having

78
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: career highs and field goals percentage, three point field goal percentage,

79
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: free throw shooting. And obviously, listen, I have a little

80
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: tied to Alonzo because he lived like four blocks away

81
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: from me. A buddy lived across the street from Alonzo.

82
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: Um when where he rented a house out here near

83
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: us UM and I'm like six minutes drive from the

84
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Lakers facility. UM. Julius Randall used to live like in

85
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: the vicinity UM. A lot of Lakers kind of live

86
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: in this area because it's close to the Lakers facility.

87
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: And you know Alonzo, I'd see him at the gym

88
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: and he would just with the awkward shooting and even

89
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: his workouts were like, I don't know, man, And I

90
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: feel bad because everybody hyped the hell out Alonso coming

91
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: out of U C. L A, including Magic Johnson, who

92
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: really put the bull's eye on his back. And you know,

93
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Alonzo never really had a chance with the Lakers. He's

94
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: having a good year now. Uh. I just wanted to

95
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: let everybody know LaMelo ball as a nineteen year old rookie,

96
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: he's having a better season Alonzo ever did. And this

97
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: is not about the brothers. It's not really about them,

98
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: but I do believe the stench of Alonzo's struggles in

99
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: the first three years kind of had people reluctant to

100
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: buy in fully to LaMelo. And again, I you know,

101
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: I own. I'm a minority owner of a basketball team

102
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: in Australia. LaMelo played in the league. He only played

103
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: I think eight games, and he was it and miss

104
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, didn't shoot it great, um, didn't play any defense.

105
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: Had wanted the ball in his hands a lot, and

106
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know if it would transition into the NBA.

107
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: And he's been incredible. We had Mudzy Bogues on this

108
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: podcast compared to Anfrety Hardaway and Jason Kidd. I just

109
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: want to let you guys know, last night LaMelo ball

110
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: in a route of Minnesota nineteen points, seven rebounds, five

111
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: assists in just twenty six minutes. He is having an

112
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: incredible season. He's nineteen, he's averaging fifteen, six and six.

113
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: And it's not like he's shooting poorly from the field

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: thirty six percent from three, despite that awkward shooting motion

115
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: from the line. Guys, it's it sounds ridiculous, but we

116
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: got so excited for Luca don j after last year. Understandably,

117
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: he was the m v P front runner in the

118
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: gambling odds and Luca's you know, struggled to the start.

119
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Dallas has been up and down. The big could come

120
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: back in the second half of the season. I just

121
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: wonder if LaMelo Ball is gonna be like a massive

122
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: deal in the league next year. And you know, I

123
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: like to I like to do the stable in the

124
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: stock market future's odds with gambling. I like to buy

125
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: low and early. Now obviously LaMelo Ball is his stock

126
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: is not low. But I'm telling you this right now,

127
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: this guy is going to be in the playoffs. Um

128
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: and his team is pretty good. Uh. They're a young

129
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: team that you know. Gordon Hayward is the old man

130
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: on their team. He's thirty. Um, you know, the old

131
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: man who plays like I don't consider bambo. He's just

132
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: a warm body out there. But PJ. Washington is very

133
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: good kid out of u K. He's twenty two Rogiers

134
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: six h Miles Bridges is twenty two. Malik Monk. Uh.

135
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: They got the Martin twins who played at Nevada, UM

136
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: DeVante Graham who you know kind of quietly had was

137
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: kind of nudged out of the starting lineup. And buy

138
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: LaMelo and I don't know how you bring Graham back

139
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, because LaMelo has been that good. And again,

140
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to go overboard. You know he's played

141
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: thirty five games, but listen, Zion's played something like sixty five. Uh,

142
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: and people are going crazy. LaMelo ball right now, Folks,

143
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be a massive deal. And you know, I

144
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: I know his father has been kind of quiet, which

145
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: is a good thing. We haven't heard much um from

146
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: LaVar Ball. There hasn't been any LaVar Michael Jordan's moments.

147
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: You almost wonder did m J send his people and say, yeh, guys, no,

148
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: lav R Let's there's not gonna be any of that

149
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: junk here, okay. Um. I don't want to say LaMelo

150
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: ball is a foundational piece, but six six distributes, rebounds, shoots,

151
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: finishes like an NBA compass tough. When you got guys

152
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: throwing out Penny Hardaway, Jason Kidd, Magic Johnson, the hype

153
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: is understandable. I'm telling you some of these highlight reels

154
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: that LaMelo puts on every night, You're just like, what,

155
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: how did we not see this coming? LaMelo Ball is

156
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: gonna have the Hornets in the playoffs. And I'm just

157
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: I am curious if people are gonna want to come

158
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: and play with him in Charlotte. I know everybody's gonna

159
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: want to say, all the clock's sticking, He's gonna go

160
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: sign in a big market and go to New York

161
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: or l A and a few it's five years or whatever.

162
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: He just has this magnetic thing to his personality. He's

163
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: always smiling, you know, he seems like he's having fun.

164
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: His teammates seemed to love him. If you look at

165
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: the bench, when LaMelo does something, everybody's geeked. It's a

166
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: there's a good vibe right now around the Hornets. And

167
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: I think Michael Jordan, who has been beat up more

168
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: than any executive in the NBA, need some props. He

169
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: called Gordon Hayward to close the deal. You know, his

170
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: front office selected LaMelo Ball when there are a lot

171
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: of questions. I'm loving LaMelo. I'm loving the Charlotte Hornets.

172
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to our guest, the one and

173
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,040

178
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: to sports. I know what sports stands want, but for

179
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: everything he doesn't, he knows a guy who does. Let's

180
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: just say I know a guy who knows a guy

181
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: who knows another guy. All right, let's welcome into straight fire.

182
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: Someone I've known for a long time. The first thing

183
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: I wrote about her on the Big Lead Way way way,

184
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: way way back. Um she was hosting a show with

185
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: Matthew Barry, and then I you know, ten years later,

186
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I've worked with her on some things at Fox. Carrissa Thompson, Carrissa,

187
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: how are you? Oh, James, Well, I'm great Before I

188
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: knew you, before I met you. Actually, when we were

189
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: on set at Fox, I was terrified of what you

190
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: would potentially write about me, and I would you know,

191
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: I felt about those publications a lah dead Spin and

192
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: they said I was on a suicidal path to Frumpyville

193
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: when I darted into my hair and I was scarred

194
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: for life. But you were always nice to me, so

195
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah. Well, I mean, listen, uh, you know

196
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: you were starting your Star Wars starting to rise at ESPN, right,

197
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: you did numbers never lie Sports Nation. You knew you

198
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: were starting to become like a big star. And you

199
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: know how some of these blogs are. They're just haters.

200
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: They just wanted it was more of it. It was

201
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: more of a twinkle um than it was a bright star.

202
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: But thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah, we had a Yes,

203
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: Yes it was fun. I feel like I won the

204
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: ESPN lottery when I really think about it in hindsight

205
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: that I showed up to Bristol. It was really only

206
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: there for two years and then Beetle left, so I

207
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: went on Sports Nation and then they moved towards Nation

208
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: to l A. So in the ESPN, like you know, graduates,

209
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I really had the I had the

210
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: PhD of how to do it, come into Bristol, two years,

211
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: boom out back to l A. So there was a

212
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: in there. I have some friends who talked about it

213
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: like they did a turn in prison like I did.

214
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: I did a two years in Bristol, and I'm like,

215
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: come on, it's not that bad, and they're like, Jason,

216
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: Bristol is is brutal, it's terrible, it's charming. I lived

217
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: in West Hartford, and I gotta say West Harford's adorable

218
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: and like the surrounding towns of like Avon and Greenwich

219
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. But I was single for

220
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: most of my time there, and I'm like, that's not

221
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: a great place to be single. First of all, you

222
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: don't want to like, well, I ended up. I mean,

223
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: that was obviously I mistake. I did someone I work with,

224
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: but the uh, you don't really want to do that,

225
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: and then you end up seeing the same people in

226
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: the same town. So I'd go to New York a

227
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: lot on the weekend, so that part was good. Smart. Um.

228
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever told you this, but the

229
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: first time we did a show together a Fox. You know,

230
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: obviously I knew everybody knows who Carissa Thompson is, and

231
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's gonna be interesting, and the

232
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: shows it would speak for yourself. One day and the

233
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: show starts and Carissa is just like a machine right

234
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: out of the gate, and I was like, oh, my gosh,

235
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: she's really freaking good at television. And I was like

236
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: a little nervous because you were you had such command

237
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: and like there were no stumbles at all. You were

238
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: just like free flowing right out of the gate. And

239
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: and then CHRISA. You know, obviously you become like this

240
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: colossal global star um everywhere, and I was just like,

241
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: how did that happen? How do you go from like,

242
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, working at ESPN to being a massive sports

243
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: star who can command a topic about Russell Wilson and

244
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: then Pat Mahomes And I mean, like, I feel like

245
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: you you probably work harder than a lot of people

246
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: in the industry. Well, you're very nice and my agent

247
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: um left me Nick Con to go run w w E.

248
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: So given that you gave me such high praise, will

249
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: you also represent me? You are very kinds. Thank you

250
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: for Con is a very nice guy. I know he

251
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: doesn't listen to the podcast, but um yeah, maybe did

252
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: he give you training? Was there CIA training that I

253
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: did not get you? Um no, I know what I missed, Nick,

254
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: But that that said, I appreciate the endorsement. But look,

255
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know me well enough now to

256
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: know that I have always sort of looked at TV

257
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: as kind of like this adult playground, right, like we're

258
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: lucky enough to get paid to talk about sports and

259
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: it's not that serious. And so for me, it's a

260
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: combination of sure, always always going prepared because there's like

261
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: the whole misnomer of like females and sports bah blah blah.

262
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm over that narrative, but um, because I've been around

263
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: long enough. But yeah, going prepared, but also like reacting

264
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: what happens next, you know, and especially in a live setting.

265
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean we've made a lot of mistakes. Remember Fox

266
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: Sports Live. I was actually talking to Jay on right

267
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: the other night on his podcast where we were talking about,

268
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, those early stumbles and mistakes that you make,

269
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: and you just, like anything. You know, your first day

270
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: on the job of a construction site is going to

271
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: be different than your fifteenth year on a on a

272
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: site building a house. So I think I've tried hopefully,

273
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I I just always look at my

274
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: employers are they still employing me? And hope that's a

275
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: report part of the job I'm doing. But yeah, just

276
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: be prepared and have fun. And you know, you're only

277
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: as good as your teammates, right, like the people that

278
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: you're on TV with they can I've have been very

279
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: lucky to have like great guys including yourself around me

280
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: that you know, make my job easy. So it's fun.

281
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: Come on, you know, you glossed over the whole stigma

282
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: of the girls on the set, you know, and and

283
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: they can't chime in. And it's pretty clear you've shattered

284
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: that along with a lot of other girls. But like

285
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm assuming, ten years ago, it was a lot different

286
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: when you would handle that pushback about hey, she's on TV,

287
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: when in reality they didn't realize like, oh, this girl

288
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: knows like a lot about sports and it's not just like, hey,

289
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm here to be on TV. Well, I mean, I

290
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: think for me, I always knew that I wanted to

291
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: be a sports broadcaster from the time I was like

292
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: eleven years old. Day had my brother pretend that he

293
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: was J. Buner and like, hell the paper style roll

294
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: with Yeah, I was like Tyson, he was two years older,

295
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: my tystes and please will you be in this? I

296
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: was like making like a little video like a movie,

297
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Tyson, please can I interview you? And

298
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: you pretend you're J Boner? And uh, you know, it's

299
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: something I always wanted to do. I mean, my dad

300
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: like to be able to hang out with my dad

301
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: on the weekends, I had to like sit and be

302
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: quiet and watch you know, football with him, and that

303
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: was uh, you know, and slowly the more I listened

304
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: to him, the more I learned, UM kind of thing.

305
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: So it was something I always wanted to do. That said, like,

306
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, the story whatever, I started in human resources

307
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: and um, became a production assistant and all that kind

308
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: of stuff. The point is about my story is that start.

309
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's something I always wanted to do, but

310
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: knew that you have to put in the time behind

311
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: the scenes too, and becoming a production production assistant and

312
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: like moving to Denver and doing all that stuff and

313
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: learning the process of it. I think I appreciate it

314
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: it more once I was on TV. But look, you're

315
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: only on there as as long as your employer wants

316
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: to keep you there. You know, I always look at

317
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: it like this, like I've got a job for the

318
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: next two years and then who knows what happened. So yeah,

319
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: you work hard, make sure you know your your your stuff,

320
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: and uh and have some fun and beating like I said,

321
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: a good team. Eight. I'm a big believer that there's

322
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: a lot of talent no matter what league you're talking about,

323
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: where you can be kind of a seed athlete, but

324
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: if you want to be you know, ten year longer

325
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: in the league, you'd be an a teammate and then

326
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: do those other things that most people won't. So I

327
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: try to live that way. I feel like you told

328
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: me once you were an athlete, like, was it basketball

329
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: in high school? Well, Jason, I don't want to brag,

330
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: but I will put my letter miss jacket on. Uh.

331
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah I was. Ah, I was well, our high school

332
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: was only softmore was a three year high school sophomore, junior, senior.

333
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: And so I look, I bragg I'm bragging. I did

334
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: make varsity as a sophomore. Me and this other girl,

335
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Brina Cheney. She was six five, so she was obviously

336
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: going to make the team. Um. And yeah, so I

337
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: played basketball, I played volleyball. I threw the javelin. It's

338
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: a random fun fact. So yeah, because yeah, I was

339
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: also just big um but yeah I was. Um, I

340
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: love sports. I played sports growing up. And you know,

341
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: my brother played baseball in college and was drafted, and like,

342
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: I always just grew up with the sports family. And

343
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: were you were your parents athletes when they were younger? Yeah? Um,

344
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: except my dad decided to knock up my mom when

345
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: she was eighteen, so his um, you know, dream of

346
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: playing college football was short lived because she's like, hey,

347
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm pregnant. He's like, cool, so I won't go play football.

348
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: Um but yeah so and they're still happily married to

349
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: so that worked out for them. But yeah, no, they

350
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: my mom played volleyball and my dad paid football. I

351
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: want to ask you about gambling. We did talk the

352
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: line together this season, and um, listen, I'm not going

353
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: to talk about any losses you might have had with

354
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but you did nail the Super Bowl. Everybody

355
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: else and their mom at the Chiefs. I'm talking about

356
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: all this is gonna be a blowout. You know this.

357
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: And You're like Brady, and I think, didn't you pick

358
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: Tampa the entire postseason? Like every single day? Yeah? I

359
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: did well just for that that fact, you know. I

360
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you know, the Packers are so much better,

361
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 1: and I just watched that team. I remember having I

362
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: sat down with Gronk must have been week twelve, maybe

363
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: it was. It was in the latter part of the season,

364
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: and I just listen to him and talk about you know,

365
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: and we saw each week they got better. Uh. That defense,

366
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's Tom Brady's not an idiot. He knew

367
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: why he was going down there, and he knew that

368
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: he had that side of the ball, uh you know,

369
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: short up and they had a ton of weapons there

370
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: and then bringing in I just I just watched what

371
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: they were doing, and I thought to myself, let's go

372
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: with the experience here. This is a guy that knows, uh,

373
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: you know, how to win when it matters most. And

374
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: so yeah, I just had a hard time betting against Brady.

375
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: That said, so I nailed that one, but I was

376
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: terrible all year. Ja'son like, you know, the Seahawks host

377
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: me left right center every time, and I was like

378
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: gambling with my heart on that, which is so stupid.

379
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: But you like, and the the Chiefs were they couldn't

380
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: cover anything at all in the in the regular city

381
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: and they were awful. But you so let me ask

382
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: you this Russell Wilson situation, being a northeaster or sorry northwester,

383
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: Um is that a thing? North wester someone from the Northwest.

384
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: I know you have an affinity for the Seahawks. Where

385
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: are you on this? Like Pete Carrol Russell Wilson, beef Look,

386
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson has always been great to me,

387
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: my family and like you know I'm personally, Um, he's

388
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: you know what he's also done for that city. I

389
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: mean my nieces and nephews were blue on Fridays, and

390
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: you know the Hawks are are a big deal. That said,

391
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: I just I go like this and look, there's always

392
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes. Russell Wilson knows exactly what he's doing.

393
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: He's never not in control, he's never not moving the

394
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: chest pieces. And look, I think because he he is

395
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: an intelligent individual that knows what he says and how

396
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: he says it. Um, he's wanted help for a long time. Okay,

397
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: we've all known that he's made up for deficiencies on

398
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: that offensive line. Even when they won the Super Bowl,

399
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: it almost won the second one. That hasn't been a

400
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: great offensive line. He's needed certain weapons and hasn't gotten it.

401
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that it's it's disheartening. The only

402
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: problem I have is this. It's like and I think

403
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: Rissilo actually like tweeted this out, which resonated with me.

404
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: Where Russell like, come on, you can't say like, oh

405
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to be traded, but if I did,

406
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: here's the four places I'd want to go. That's saying

407
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: that's like saying I love my wife, but if I

408
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: left her, here's the four women i'd want to be with.

409
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: It's like, I that's the only part where I'm like,

410
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: come on, if you, if you, if you say it,

411
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: say it with your chest and like say that you

412
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: you're open to being traded, or don't say anything at all. Um.

413
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: So I think that that in a very long winded way.

414
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm a little disappointed that he won't just say what

415
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: he wants. But he's also knows exactly what he's doing,

416
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: so I'm interested to see how it'll plays out. Well.

417
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you said he knows what he's doing, and

418
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: I think I would agree with that. But naming the

419
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: teams is basically like daring the GM. I mean it's

420
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: basically saying to his team like, yeah, I'm not in

421
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: love with what I'm here with anymore. Like how can

422
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: he show the camp and say, hey, what's up everybody?

423
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: How's everybody going? I just trashed the the offensive line,

424
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, I told the team I need help, Like,

425
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, is this irreparable damage you've been in relationships?

426
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: Like if this kind of thing happens, is it over? No?

427
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: Because I've also been in very dysfunctional relationships and made

428
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: um bad choices with some of my previous partners. And

429
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: so I've made mistakes and then I'm like, you know,

430
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: there's always the way to like kiss and make up.

431
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: I think that winning cures all. And I also know

432
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: that people know what kind of talent, including his teammates,

433
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: even if you know it's it's pretty obvious in years

434
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: past what teammates like individuals and don't like individuals, right,

435
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a team divided, that legion of

436
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: Boom and all the sort of breakup of that that situation.

437
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: But anyways, without going backwards and turning the attention forward,

438
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's still your quarterback, and they still know they're

439
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: a better team with him. So you know, even if

440
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: you're maybe not a fan of the way that he's

441
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: gone about or said things or whatever, you still know

442
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: that he gives you the best chance to win. So

443
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: I think that people have a way to overlook that.

444
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean even when we watch remember when like the

445
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: Last Dance, like watching the way Jordan moved around and

446
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: like with how he was with his teammates and like

447
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't a nice teammate but they all knew they

448
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: were better with him. So if I'm on the Seahawks,

449
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: maybe I don't like what's said, but I'm like, dude,

450
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: that gives that guy, gives us a chance to win,

451
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: So I'm all in And you don't have to like

452
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: him off the field. Well, that's the thing. My only

453
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: thing is Russell Wilson. Everything about him is likable. He's

454
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: like a super nice guy. Michael Jordan's always been an asshole.

455
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: He was always a dick to his teammates and like

456
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: a complete jerk and they had to deal with it.

457
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: Like can Russ do that? He'll turn you know, Like

458
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: I know Fox does a lot of wrestling. Now can

459
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: he go from being super nice guy? Aw shucks, I'm

460
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I'm going to the hospital to say hi

461
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: to kids, and here's my wife, Like, can he start

462
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: to be an asshole? I don't. I don't know that

463
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: you can flip that switch at this No, and I don't.

464
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't think no, and I don't think he I

465
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: think the biggest knock on him has always just sort

466
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: of been like, yeah, he's a nice guy, but like,

467
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: how much is the authentic? And I do know him

468
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: really well, and he is authentic and he is a

469
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: good person and that that part is not an act

470
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: at all. But he's a competitor and I don't I

471
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: don't fault him for sort of even in his own way,

472
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: if it's not congruent with the way that I would

473
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: do things. I mean, help you know me, and I'd

474
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I'm having a real issue here. I

475
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: don't like this. I don't like this. I don't like this.

476
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: Like he's more methodical about it because he is, you know,

477
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: very conscious of his brand and all that kind of stuff.

478
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, to overuse that statement,

479
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: but you just want to win, and you want to

480
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: be put in a position where your team and your

481
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: front office it's going to give you the individuals you

482
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: need to win. So um, you know, I hope, I

483
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: hope Russell stays in Seattle for his whole career. I

484
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: know that it's a place and it was something that

485
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: was also important to him at one point to stay

486
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: with one team. But I also know this that dude

487
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: wants to win, and he saw what Brady did and

488
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: he you know, he's like, hey, wait a minute, Like

489
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: as as cute as it is, to be loyal to

490
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: this town and to try to, you know, bring another

491
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: super Bowl home. You also know that you could go

492
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: somewhere else, and he kind of I mean, he holds

493
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: all the cards, he's got all the leverage, So yeah,

494
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: I hope he stays um. But you know, it's a business,

495
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: and that's where you know, you can't get emotional about that.

496
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: You made an interesting point. I just started thinking about this.

497
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, Russell Wilson personally, you guys are friendly, maybe

498
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: you text whatever, but you start to get to know

499
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: these athletes when you interview them. You mentioned Gronk. I'm

500
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 1: just curious, course, how difficult is it now that you

501
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: know these people and have a kind of a relationship

502
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: with them. I think you've got to go on air

503
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: and maybe say something critical of them. Is that tough

504
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: for you? No? No, because you're also not I mean

505
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason why I left entertainment

506
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,239
Speaker 1: um is that I I felt that if I was like,

507
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: oh I don't like that dress that that girl is wearing,

508
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: or I can't believe that those two are dating, Like

509
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: that's personal, right, Like you start to get like who

510
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: you're dating and what you're wearing and oh she got

511
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: mad or this, It's like that's just mean, Like I

512
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: didn't enjoy that part. So that's kind of why I

513
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: took took a step out of entertainment because it was personal.

514
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: Sports isn't personal in that same way, right, Like you

515
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: can quantify what's somebody's done on the field. The Russell

516
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: Wilson throws four interceptions, you go that he had a

517
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: bad game, Like, that's not personal. Those are facts. So

518
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: for me, I I you know, and I'm not an

519
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: opinion is right? I mean, I I distribute the ball

520
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: and even on our conversation, you know, on the desk

521
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday, I definitely have my opinions, but I'm gonna say,

522
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: like you picked your spots. And I also know that

523
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: I want to hear the opinions of the Hall of

524
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: famers I'm sitting next to more than I want to

525
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: hear my own. So although I I definitely find moments, um,

526
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: my opinion of of athletes is is personal. It's what

527
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm what I'm seeing, you know, But what about

528
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: a situation like a Dak Prescott. I mean, you've got

529
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: the podcast obviously calmed down with Aaron and Carissa, I

530
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: hearts fifteen minutes in so um. You know, like Dak Prescott,

531
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: okay is asking for uce allegedly thirty seven million dollars

532
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: a year. Pat mahomes money like you may. I don't

533
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: know if you've interviewed Dak or you know him personally.

534
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you've spent time in Dallas whatever. Like to me,

535
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: that's insane, that is ludicrous. The Dak Prescott could think

536
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: he's worth thirty seven million. I could back it up

537
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: with an avalanche of stats. But if it isn't a

538
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: little more difficult for you to either say it on

539
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: your podcast, I don't know. You go on the gambling

540
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: show with us, you do something with Cowherd whatever, like

541
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: do you have do you feel sometimes you've got to

542
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: couch it? No? No, because I would say it's like

543
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: I never fault a guy for asking for money. Somebody

544
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: is going if he doesn't ask for it, somebody else

545
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: will get it. And it's I never get mad at

546
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: somebody because they make a lot of money. Somebody paid

547
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: them that money. And you're in Dak Prescott has shown

548
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: class everything that he's gone through on the stage that

549
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: he's gone through for America's team, and look Dallas Cowboys.

550
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: All we gotta do is look at box that that

551
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: you know teams on our air more than any other team.

552
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: But there's a reason for that, right, So I think

553
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: when you look at and look, yeah, the guy shouldn't

554
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: just be paid because he's a nice guy and he's

555
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: went through a lot of stuff. No, of course not.

556
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones isn't an idiot. But I always look at

557
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: this and and same thing when people ask like, oh,

558
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 1: fire a head coach, It's like, all right, well then

559
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: who are you gonna go get. It's like when you're

560
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: in a relationship like I want I'm over this and okay,

561
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: well then who are you going to go date next?

562
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Like if you don't like the current situation, you gotta

563
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: look around and say, okay, well who's the better option?

564
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: So if you're not willing to pay Dak Prescott that money,

565
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: well then who who are you getting as a quarterback?

566
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: Like I always just think, like you gotta you gotta

567
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: take a couple of things into consideration. And number one,

568
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: I never get I never fault the guy. Oh I

569
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: believe he made that much money a hell someone who's

570
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: willing to pay and that I take it speaking of money.

571
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: I will say one piece of advice Chrissa Thompson gave me.

572
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: I think I saw you in the makeup room at

573
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: Fox and I said like, oh, Chrissa, you're killing the

574
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: Instagram fitness workout videos. Those are those are awesome? And

575
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: do you remember what your response was? No? Who knows

576
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: what they're like. I know my agent said that I

577
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: should do these and I can make money, and like,

578
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, people are like, oh, there there's another brand

579
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: level for Chris and I was like, oh, dude, I'll

580
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: do anything for money when it comes. I mean, that

581
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: sounds terrible. Don't take that out of contact. But I

582
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: have no shame. People like, oh, you do a lot

583
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: of ads on your Instagram. I'm like, yeah, I have

584
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: Wantage too. I have two mortgages, so last time I checked.

585
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: As much as I love my parents, they're not sitting

586
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: on the amount of cash. And I don't have a

587
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,719
Speaker 1: silver spoon, so I have to have ten jobs in

588
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: order to pay. So who gives a ship? And by

589
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: the way, if you don't like my Instagram because there's ads,

590
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: then don't ball. It's not just two mortgages. You have

591
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: New York in l A two of the most expensive

592
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: cities in America. Um, I'm just out here in the streets, man,

593
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking for that Dak Prescott money that's never happened.

594
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: So I took your advice and I started posting some

595
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: workout videos and as expected, a bunch of dudes are like,

596
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: what the hell is this? J? What do you do like?

597
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: And I filed myself making all these baskets. And Daniel

598
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: Jeremiah NFL Network, he's a friend. He's like, man, J,

599
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe you did that. I mean, come on,

600
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: what is this? And Carissa, believe it or not, people

601
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: started to come to me with some free stuff. Hey can,

602
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: I said you some headphod. I was like, man, you

603
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: try it. You're onto something as as a veteran obviously.

604
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: Now let me ask you about the podcast. You and

605
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: um Aaron Andrews first guest, you know, not not a

Speaker 1: did the podcast come about? So? Thank you? Yeah? Eron

610
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: and I started this podcast. Um sort of hesitat Lee

611
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: because we joked that everyone had a podcast and we're like,

612
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,880

621
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: where you know, we can use this platform because and

622
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: it's not sports centric. I mean, sports, of course is

623
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: a part of it, as it's our background and something

624
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: that we are passionate about and enjoy talking about. But

625
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: we want to you know, we're both starting our own business.

Speaker 1: Blakely like from Spanks, like different people like that. Just

630
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,520
