Speaker 1: went by. I do, and I don't. It's like there
Speaker 1: are some things that have been like a lot, but
Speaker 1: then there's something that it's just been like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: how are we in week seventeen? Like I laid down
Speaker 1: this morning when I got finally in bed and I
Speaker 1: said to Jared, that was just week seventeen, and he goes,
Speaker 1: holy crap, right, and then another thing. Ryan didn't add
Speaker 1: to the rundown, but I definitely want to talk about it.
Speaker 1: I was on a flight to Washington for my Baltimore
Speaker 1: game before Christmas, and I got sucked into my seat
Speaker 1: mates movie who I didn't know, and we had a
Speaker 1: whole exchange about it and both started crying, and it
Speaker 1: was a whole situation. So I want to talk about
Speaker 1: that too. All right, let's do it. Let's jump right in.
Speaker 1: So Christmas you were in you had time off finally,
Speaker 1: so you were with the whole family Netflix amazing. I
Speaker 1: was in Chicago with Steve and the crew of Steve.
Speaker 1: We went a couple days earlier, and then of course
Speaker 1: the Thursday Night crew because we had a game on
Speaker 1: the twenty six. Yeah, so Steve and I are like,
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna spend Christmas in Chicago, but let's
Speaker 1: go a couple of days early because Chicago Christmas time great.
Speaker 1: So work has booked my trip and Steve is using
Speaker 1: the miles whatever of my account. So he's I don't know,
Speaker 1: I can't remember if I he must have he must
Speaker 1: have booked it whatever it was. But we both so
Speaker 1: we have a connection through Minneapolis. Okay, everything's going, everything's
Speaker 1: going great, you know, because we started the day off
Speaker 1: in the Delta one. Laud we are we are just
Speaker 1: We've had our mimosas, we've had our eggs. Benedict that
Speaker 1: the smoke salmon, the bagel and locks. I mean, things
Speaker 1: are going great. And I said to him, I don't
Speaker 1: have to work tomorrow. I don't even have to work
Speaker 1: the next day. So mama is going to have herself
Speaker 1: a time. I'm going to enjoy all the cocktails and
Speaker 1: for once, I'm not going to be worried about the travel.
Speaker 1: You've got it right, like you take over. I just
Speaker 1: want just tell me when we need to board, and
Speaker 1: let's do it. He goes, I got you. So the
Speaker 1: first leg of the trip goes great. Now we're in Minnesota, correct, Okay,
Speaker 1: So now Delta, how going to Chicago? Why are you connect?
Speaker 1: Am Adelta loyalists? So I'm going to go on the
Speaker 1: Delta flight that connects her Minneapolis because the only directs
Speaker 1: were United or American Loyalists. Loyalists loyalists. Sure, so I
Speaker 1: said to say, I don't even care if I have
Speaker 1: a connection. It's Delta, Delta Minneapolis. We get picked up
Speaker 1: in the car, we get the whole, the whole royal treatment.
Speaker 1: We are now in the second lounge. I'm going back
Speaker 1: in those too mini lounge, you know the one, and
Speaker 1: there's like a bunch of the chili. Yes, actually, I
Speaker 1: normally I would not know that, but it was so
Speaker 1: close to the gate. It was so funny. The guy
Speaker 1: picked us up and he goes, where's your gate? And
Speaker 1: we look at it. We look down and he goes, actually,
Speaker 1: it's right here, like he picked us up to go
Speaker 1: like not even It was so funny but anyways, so nice,
Speaker 1: great service, Delta, Delta, Delta, love you, Delta Gamma. So
Speaker 1: back in the lounge cocktail cocktail, and I look at
Speaker 1: him and I said, hey, like, I have no idea
Speaker 1: when we're supposed to be boarding, Like are you paying
Speaker 1: attention to what's going on here? He goes, I got it,
Speaker 1: like in the whole, Like, oh I got it, dismissive.
Speaker 1: Way great, I'm gonna sit back enjoy this. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, I get a text on my phone from
Speaker 1: the Delta representative, Miss Thompson. Your flight is boarding. We
Speaker 1: don't see you on board again, great service. So I
Speaker 1: hold it up to Steve if I go, uh, why
Speaker 1: is the flight boarding? And he did and he exactly
Speaker 1: and he said, well, Bargo, according to my app, we
Speaker 1: don't board for another forty five minutes. Point of the
Speaker 1: story is he's going to O'Hare and I'm going to Midway.
Speaker 1: Two flights going to Chicago thirty minutes apart. I'm on
Speaker 1: one that's now going to take off without me, and
Speaker 1: he's on another. So guess where my bag's going one
Speaker 1: way and his is going another. So now now I'm lost.
Speaker 1: Now I'm like, what the fuck? I wanted one flight
Speaker 1: where I didn't have to pay attention because normally, obviously
Speaker 1: I'm flying by myself and I don't know being lucid.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I wanted one time where I could
Speaker 1: just kick my heels up and relax. And now and
Speaker 1: so I'm like, I am motherfucking and I don't normally
Speaker 1: did it. I didn't actually swear. Maybe I did once,
Speaker 1: but I was like, are you kidding me? So I've
Speaker 1: got it. I'm not going to make it on mine.
Speaker 1: So now I got to get rebooked on his. Well,
Speaker 1: now I'm going to land in Chicago and I don't
Speaker 1: have any luggage. I don't have a dress for dinner
Speaker 1: tonight tonight. So, needless to say, the thirty minutes between
Speaker 1: when we were gonna the boarding time, I said, leave
Speaker 1: me alone. I want to be left alone. I went
Speaker 1: to a restaurant hate by myself. I'm girl. No. It
Speaker 1: was like a Minnesota centric restaurant. There was a Kirby
Speaker 1: Pucket jersey hanging shout out Minnesota Twins, and it was
Speaker 1: so bad. I'd been crying because I was now dramatic
Speaker 1: after five cocktails and let yeah, right after five cocktails
Speaker 1: and I the waitress goes, are you okay? And I
Speaker 1: was like, I'll be fine, thanks, Like just so dramatic
Speaker 1: at this point. So now we get on the plane.
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at him, I'm not talking to him.
Speaker 1: I'm just texting Aaron. I'm breaking up with Steve. We
Speaker 1: are breaking up. It's over. I'm like, did he cheat
Speaker 1: on you? What happened? This is what she wrote. She
Speaker 1: literally wrote, did he cheat? I go No, that I
Speaker 1: would understand, because that, by the way, first of all,
Speaker 1: the way I'm acting, I would understand if you cheated. No.
Speaker 1: I swear to God, if he ever cheats, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's the end of us. That really is the end
Speaker 1: of us. But I was so upset and so I
Speaker 1: couldn't voice note. She's like, voice know me what is happening?
Speaker 1: Because he's sitting right next to me, So I don't know. However,
Speaker 1: many hours. It was later by the time I land
Speaker 1: in Chicago by myself because I have now gotten into
Speaker 1: cab by myself, because I'm like, you have to go
Speaker 1: to O'Hare and get our bags. So I check into
Speaker 1: the hotel and the hotel is so nice. Okay, we
Speaker 1: know it's so nice. Great too. They gave me like
Speaker 1: a massive room, and all I could think of is good,
Speaker 1: when he walks in here, he'll see this incredible room
Speaker 1: and he should be so fucking lucky to be with me,
Speaker 1: and there and that and that. So then what do
Speaker 1: I get. I've now taken a shower, I'm in the room,
Speaker 1: I'm in my robe, all cozy because I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: worry about this luggage. This is a hymn problem in
Speaker 1: true Steve fashion, I get and I'll show the picture
Speaker 1: on here. I get a picture of him and baggage
Speaker 1: claim with this sweet old woman going like this thumbs
Speaker 1: up because they got the bag. He's not affected by this,
Speaker 1: he's having a great time, and I'm like, yeah, So anyways,
Speaker 1: the next day I think is what I called you know,
Speaker 1: I was like, we're not break or no. I called
Speaker 1: you that night. Whatever it was, we didn't break up.
Speaker 1: I was being a little dramatic, but also I'm curious,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you guys be pissed off if you let your
Speaker 1: significant other handle the travel plans? And then the travel
Speaker 1: plans got all mixed up, and now we got luggage
Speaker 1: one way and one person's going this way. I probably
Speaker 1: could have handled it better, but in the moment, I
Speaker 1: was really upset. I think you really did yourself in
Speaker 1: in the Kirby Pucket restaurant. I did. I did because
Speaker 1: as I was crying and the waitress was like, are
Speaker 1: you okay? Would you like another? I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do and another. Wow. Everything was fine. The next
Speaker 1: morning we woke up and I was like, can you
Speaker 1: please just be responsible next time? And look, and he
Speaker 1: was like, yes, I got it, no problem. I'm like okay,
Speaker 1: and it was fine. How is your Christmas adorable? Well?
Speaker 1: Thank god, Christmas was safe. After I woke up Christmas
Speaker 1: morning and you guys were not broken up, because I
Speaker 1: was very learned about our future. Christmas was good. Christmas
Speaker 1: was as I've learned from everybody that does this with kids,
Speaker 1: and how do people do this with kids? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm coming in hot from a game I've got my
Speaker 1: family there, I've got my kid there. We let which
Speaker 1: we should our nannies have a break, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, where are these people. It was a lot,
Speaker 1: and my son was hysterical and fun and he loved
Speaker 1: every second of all these winter sports. And he was
Speaker 1: so freaking cute, so cute and putting snow gear on
Speaker 1: a child of that age and I guess, really of
Speaker 1: any age is really a lot. But by this car,
Speaker 1: oh my god, he doesn't I mean, he doesn't know
Speaker 1: to put his thumb in the glove and then holding
Speaker 1: him for the boot and the head. Shit. But you
Speaker 1: don't want to be the asshole where the kid is cold.
Speaker 1: But man, he was a trooper. He was awesome. We
Speaker 1: had a great time. I was so tired when I
Speaker 1: showed up in Minnesota this weekend, but it was great.
Speaker 1: And now before the podcast, I was just kind of
Speaker 1: unwrapping everything and going through Christmas again, being like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, we got this and oh my god, we
Speaker 1: got that. But we had a very sesame Street Christmas,
Speaker 1: which was super cute. And now he's got all the
Speaker 1: little friends and I want to so badly make a
Speaker 1: little appearance on Sesame Street. So badly for my kid.
Speaker 1: Make your play right, now, make your plea. Let's go
Speaker 1: to Sesame Street. Listen. It's funny when you talk to
Speaker 1: Macki Stole. You're like, hey, what does cookie monster say?
Speaker 1: And he goes, I miss him. I haven't seen him
Speaker 1: in a while. I feel like he's like a grown
Speaker 1: When you sent that text on our text chain of
Speaker 1: him going down the hill with Jared on Skis, Steve
Speaker 1: and I were then back together and I looked at him, go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, is he allowed to be? I was like,
Speaker 1: I was the mother. I was like, I don't think
Speaker 1: that's allowed. He's so young, but like he crushed and
Speaker 1: I loved it. This little smile at the end, yay
Speaker 1: clapping so cute. Yeah, it was fun. It was a
Speaker 1: good time. Good But it's a lot holy cow, and
Speaker 1: it's you know what was so nice today coming home
Speaker 1: and not having to be like I gotta go get
Speaker 1: this gift and I gotta go get that gift and
Speaker 1: I gotta wrap this shit. So that was really nice today.
Speaker 1: So I wonder. I wonder because I think about this too,
Speaker 1: and every year Steve does have a funny thing. So
Speaker 1: this year he goes We're making a list of every
Speaker 1: person you got a present for, and we're gonna check
Speaker 1: off and see if they even unwrapped all your gifts,
Speaker 1: because you got me seventy five gifts. I want to
Speaker 1: know what I have on right now. Two things. I
Speaker 1: feel like the woman from Home Alone, Catherine O'Hara, like
Speaker 1: or Haa, whatever her name is. She's great. And I
Speaker 1: can give you love the ear rings. You love the earrings.
Speaker 1: These are so great? Still that great? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Jarret loves him so much. He never wanted to take
Speaker 1: them off. Thank you so much. So are they? First
Speaker 1: of all, I think as I've gotten older, I've turned
Speaker 1: into a toddler. I don't want any shoes with ties
Speaker 1: on it, like I want I'm up at the ranch.
Speaker 1: I want rain boots, tuck them right in. No ties,
Speaker 1: I want slippers, I want vans. I just I'm not
Speaker 1: interested to tying. And now it's untied, and now it's
Speaker 1: like the ties too tight, and it's like I love
Speaker 1: a slip in and slip out situation. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you were so generous for Christmas. Aaron gave me this
Speaker 1: amazing book. I wanted this book since the second I
Speaker 1: saw it. At her house. I was so worried you
Speaker 1: had it. No, Oh my god, you don't have to.
Speaker 1: It's a football book and it's who that I don't
Speaker 1: know the company asked a line or I'm going to
Speaker 1: say it, but it's also like any you guys know
Speaker 1: those coffee table books that are so so beautiful and
Speaker 1: Task is another brand, but this one was massive. I
Speaker 1: mean it's probably twelve inches. It's gorgeous deep, and every
Speaker 1: picture it's like almost like three D, like it has
Speaker 1: an overlay. Anyways, it's stunning, and you were wildly generous. Anyways,
Speaker 1: Oh stop, Steve has a whole thing where everyone that
Speaker 1: I that we gave a gift to it. He's not shopping.
Speaker 1: He wasn't doing that everyone that Why is it always
Speaker 1: falling the women and they don't think about those other people? Anyways,
Speaker 1: we get it. You're just walking around the house looking
Speaker 1: for regifting. Well, hey, we could give him this. We
Speaker 1: don't use this, by the way, steep it back. I
Speaker 1: will use that step this year with some stuff that
Speaker 1: we got. He goes, Hey, he goes, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: use that. Do you think that we could save it
Speaker 1: for someone else? I said, absolutely not. I said, no,
Speaker 1: we are going to donate. If you don't think that
Speaker 1: that's something that you could use, we're going to donate.
Speaker 1: We're not regifting because you know what's going to end
Speaker 1: up happening. Karma's going to bite us square on the
Speaker 1: ass and somewhere, somehow it's going to get back that
Speaker 1: we're regifting. Absolutely not have some gratitude because you didn't
Speaker 1: buy one of these presents. No, So he has a
Speaker 1: whole thing of like check off who gave you things?
Speaker 1: And he really did it. And I said, this is insane.
Speaker 1: You don't have time to buy the gifts, but you're
Speaker 1: making sure that the inventory is aligned. Oh yeah, it off.
Speaker 1: So this is my point. It's excessive. I think that
Speaker 1: we should. It's too much and it's too much pressure.
Speaker 1: And then every year, and I'm saying this to you,
Speaker 1: miss Andrews, because you're so generous. You are you bought
Speaker 1: my kids seven thousand different kids. Kids don't count. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about adults. I think that we have to do something.
Speaker 1: I know we're doing the next I know I got
Speaker 1: to get next to day. I'm not gonna have anybody.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have any money. You guys, my neck
Speaker 1: is getting so bad. Okay, stay with me, squirrel. You
Speaker 1: and I are going to buy each other nut surgeries.
Speaker 1: Great because and I get this there too. Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I've got a whole like thing. Hey, if any plastic
Speaker 1: surgeons are listening, and no, and I'm not saying this
Speaker 1: in a way, you can do it for you. Seventy
Speaker 1: five surgeries. Okay, I never even got the boobs I
Speaker 1: was gonna get. Okay, like I still yet to get
Speaker 1: a surgery that I've talked about, but I need to
Speaker 1: know how to get rid of this. Right here, we
Speaker 1: got like a whole pocket, like a little squirrel is
Speaker 1: storing her nuts for the winter, and it's still from today.
Speaker 1: I need it to look like from this to this.
Speaker 1: And I thought the strings we're going to do it.
Speaker 1: I'm past the point of strings. Okay, here's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. After the surgery. We're then not going to
Speaker 1: buy each other gifts like excessively. We're going to do
Speaker 1: the white elephant thing. Yeah, I really think like whether
Speaker 1: it's well, we don't have any of the friends, I
Speaker 1: don't come to the solution I would love. Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: Let me open this up again to the to the community,
Speaker 1: the calm down community. What do you do for girlfriends
Speaker 1: where it's like we don't need anything. We didn't buy
Speaker 1: each other anything, Like enough is enough? What is something
Speaker 1: that can crush you with your your girlfriends or your
Speaker 1: sister or whoever. Where you want it to be meaningful
Speaker 1: and you want to show that you love them, but
Speaker 1: like it's not an excess of all your person So
Speaker 1: that I love any feedback because it's getting crazy. I mean,
Speaker 1: at this point, we're buying boats for each other. We
Speaker 1: don't need that. Actually looking to sell my boat. Okay,
Speaker 1: oh god, really, I haven't used the goddamn thing in
Speaker 1: two years. I'm paying storage fees. Oh geez, yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't need that. That's throwing money away. Hey, sheep to feed.
Speaker 1: I got to tell you the story about going to Baltimore. Yes,
Speaker 1: so I'm on this fight to Washington because that's the
Speaker 1: best route for me to get there, and it's a
Speaker 1: five hour flight and I'm just grinding away because it's
Speaker 1: the holiday. I haven't really covered Baltimore too much. I'm
Speaker 1: all over their website doing a ton of stuff. The
Speaker 1: guy next to me's great, it hasn't said a word
Speaker 1: doing his own thing, and I've looked over a few
Speaker 1: times and I've noticed it's the Christopher Reeves documentary. I
Speaker 1: believe from peeping on it the whole time that his
Speaker 1: kids must be involved in it, because it had his
Speaker 1: three kids. I don't know if they produced it with somebody,
Speaker 1: but I was a big Christopher Reeves fan, and I
Speaker 1: remember man when his wife was on Oprah because they
Speaker 1: showed part of the interview. Anyways, I am in and
Speaker 1: out looking at this thing, and finally at some point
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm in, I'm watching. I don't want him
Speaker 1: to think I'm the person that I bitch about all
Speaker 1: the time, or you're looking at my shit. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: still studying and there are fucking I could never watch
Speaker 1: this documentary. First of all, I don't have sound. There's
Speaker 1: no close caption, but you can tell everything happening. It
Speaker 1: is so beautifully done, and it's not a beautiful subject.
Speaker 1: It goes in and out of him, you know, paralyzed
Speaker 1: him with the feeding tube, him being the hot superman,
Speaker 1: him with his kids when he was injured. From everything
Speaker 1: I could gather from snooping this whole time, his son
Speaker 1: was like very very small, with his youngest son. This
Speaker 1: thing is so emotional. There was no sound, there was
Speaker 1: no close captioning. I'm fucking crying. I'm crying and I
Speaker 1: can't stop now. The guy next to you said anything
Speaker 1: at the sime, No and nothing. He's paused a few times,
Speaker 1: gone up to go to the bathroom. I then am
Speaker 1: googling his wife because I'm like, she died, didn't she die? CHRISA,
Speaker 1: She died like nine months after his dad came of
Speaker 1: lung cancer, and she didn't even smoke. So then they're
Speaker 1: on that part portion of the documentary, Kids are Children.
Speaker 1: She's delivered the eulogy. Then she's said, I finally this guy.
Speaker 1: I finally grab his arm and I said, hey, I
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you. I am the person I
Speaker 1: hate right now. I have been sitting here looking and
Speaker 1: watching this over your shoulder. I'm even texting my girlfriends
Speaker 1: about it. And he goes, I know you have, and
Speaker 1: I said, I've been crying the whole time. He goes,
Speaker 1: I've had to stop crying because I knew who you
Speaker 1: were and I didn't want to be crying in front
Speaker 1: of you. And I'm like, is it awful? He's like,
Speaker 1: it's awful. Robin Williams is in it. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: their friendship, but it looks so well done but so emotional.
Speaker 1: I forgot at the Oscars he rolled out there in
Speaker 1: front of everybody like it's fucking Superman. Yea. So last
Speaker 1: night I'm flying home for Minnie and I've got the
Speaker 1: I've got the Washington Atlanta game on, and I look
Speaker 1: in front of me person's Washington document. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: You're like, wow, I want to. I bet it's so insane,
Speaker 1: but I can't. I mean, I watched it, but yeah, wow.
Speaker 1: I just I think that, you know, again, not knowing
Speaker 1: every of not knowing all the details of it, just
Speaker 1: the headlines of it. I just sometimes whether it's God
Speaker 1: or whoever you believe in, I just sometimes go, why
Speaker 1: why do you like those poor children? Like it's I
Speaker 1: just I guess it's You'll find out whatever you believe
Speaker 1: in later in life that you know some there's a
Speaker 1: reason or I don't know, And I think this is
Speaker 1: why religion is so important, or a belief in something
Speaker 1: bigger is important, because some things on earth just don't
Speaker 1: make sense. That there's no logical explanation for why a
Speaker 1: family would have to endure that much or you know,
Speaker 1: any story that we hear of heartache and pain and anything.
Speaker 1: It's just it's really really sad. But yeah, I just
Speaker 1: it's said. Maybe you know that. I don't know how
Speaker 1: old are his kids now, I don't know. They're all gorgeous.
Speaker 1: They all have The youngest is is superman. He looks
Speaker 1: just like his father, and like I could tell again
Speaker 1: because I'm snooping when he started talking about his mother.
Speaker 1: He has still been warning America. I don't know, Ryan,
Speaker 1: do you want to help us with any of this?
Speaker 1: I don't believe so is he Yeah, he's a correspondent.
Speaker 1: God's gorgeous. Yeah, now that when you're describing it, I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: I think he is. Yeah, we'll figure out that part.
Speaker 1: It was. It was, I mean, it looked like torture
Speaker 1: to watch it. It was so beautifully done. And last
Speaker 1: night when somebody had it on, they were like, I
Speaker 1: was just like, holy shit, this is so well done
Speaker 1: and I cannot have somebody watch it now. Thank god.
Speaker 1: The guy across from me turned it to Ferris Bueller's
Speaker 1: day off because I could I needed a day off.
Speaker 1: It was so much Wow. Yeah, well that's the night
Speaker 1: next to me was so great and he's like, good
Speaker 1: luck with the game this weekend. I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: so will Lee Will his son is a correspondent for
Speaker 1: a Okay, yeah beautiful, he's gorgeous. What they've been through
Speaker 1: My goodness. All right, this is not me trying to
Speaker 1: make a turn or have any kind of segue to that.
Speaker 1: But since our job is to talk about football, yeah,
Speaker 1: I also talk about football because things are getting very exciting.
Speaker 1: Playoff picture. We record our podcast on Monday, This will
Speaker 1: come out on Thursday. So playoff picture beginning to take
Speaker 1: shape or almost I mean Monday night. That depends on
Speaker 1: what happens or excuse me, in the Sunday night game
Speaker 1: Monday night next week between lose. Could the NFC just
Speaker 1: be flipped upside down? The fact that you go from
Speaker 1: the one seed to the fifth seed because it's so
Speaker 1: bad for them, they lost everyone, but just like you
Speaker 1: could be a sixteen win team and be a fifth
Speaker 1: seed I mean anyways, So not to get entrenched in
Speaker 1: the details, because things will take shape and figure it out.
Speaker 1: But what we do know is Saquon Barkley as when
Speaker 1: our podcast airs is one hundred and one yards or
Speaker 1: just over one hundred yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson's
Speaker 1: single season rushing record that was done back in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty four. And Aaron and I were talking about before
Speaker 1: we came on, like, if you're Nick Sirianni, do you
Speaker 1: start him? And I'm gonna say this, Obviously it's up
Speaker 1: to Saquon. Saquon is ultimately the person that can make
Speaker 1: that decision. But he also needs his offensive line. And
Speaker 1: if you think about it, because Saquon is such a
Speaker 1: thoughtful person, is he gonna say, guys, I need you
Speaker 1: or like I don't want to? Jempard buy question there.
Speaker 1: So here's the storyline. For people that do not call you,
Speaker 1: here's the thing for people that don't follow football. Here's
Speaker 1: the storyline. Saquon Barkley, running back. We answered your question
Speaker 1: in the pregame the difference of running back and wide
Speaker 1: receiver if you're listening. Running back who played for the
Speaker 1: New York Giants his whole career. He then goes to
Speaker 1: Philadelphia this year and has had an unbelievable season. He
Speaker 1: broke the two thousand rushing mark this previous Sunday and
Speaker 1: he's going for the record. But he is going to
Speaker 1: try to break the record against the New York Giants,
Speaker 1: his former team, and here's my name, want to sign him?
Speaker 1: The New York Giants are not making the playoffs. In fact,
Speaker 1: they might have now screed themselves out of the number
Speaker 1: one overall pick. I just it's a record that has
Speaker 1: stood for forty years, and eight other players have been close,
Speaker 1: have been in the two thousand yard mark range, but
Speaker 1: have not broken it. And I just love it. I
Speaker 1: love it for him. I loved a storyline that he
Speaker 1: could be against his old team that didn't re sign him.
Speaker 1: I just I love some offensive line that could be
Speaker 1: a part of it. Jordan Mylata, Landon, Dickerson, Lane Johnson,
Speaker 1: They're such fucking good, Dreible, I just we were talking
Speaker 1: about it a lot last night at Chili's at the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Airport and breaking it down. And my good friend
Speaker 1: rich Gross is a diehard Giants fan, and he is
Speaker 1: just sick. What did he say? But he loves Saquon
Speaker 1: so much. He tells a story about how at training
Speaker 1: camp a couple of years ago, his nephews were in
Speaker 1: the stands and Saquon's I think child was there and
Speaker 1: pr was like, no, no, he's not going to sign
Speaker 1: his kids there. And Saquon, I guess, was the only
Speaker 1: person that stayed and signed for the kids, and so
Speaker 1: he signed Grosy's kids, come on nephew's stuff. So he
Speaker 1: just loves Saquan. He's like, I hope he gets it.
Speaker 1: He deserves to get it. I cannot believe this is
Speaker 1: happening to our organization. But yeah, and we were just
Speaker 1: talking about maybe we could do that game. We didn't
Speaker 1: get the game, but it would be so much fun.
Speaker 1: And like you have to ask your offensive lineman if
Speaker 1: they it has to be like a team to say
Speaker 1: get it right. It has to be something like that.
Speaker 1: But no, and you can't getting hurt. I get it
Speaker 1: right because you're in the playoffs and it's like that
Speaker 1: brings you to a different level in the league. You're
Speaker 1: now a legend. You are you know, royalty. It would
Speaker 1: just be these guys want him to get it too.
Speaker 1: It would be the ultimate exclamation exclamation point for him
Speaker 1: and the season that he's had and the whole storyline,
Speaker 1: and I just I am excited. I wonder when they'll say, hey,
Speaker 1: like this is what we're going to do. This is
Speaker 1: how it's gonna go. Yeah. I just I love the
Speaker 1: NFL so much, I really do. It's so great. And
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels watching him last night, and even for Michael
Speaker 1: Pennock Junior to come down and you have that game
Speaker 1: come down to the end, it's just and what Peden
Speaker 1: Damers and this organization has been through and just for
Speaker 1: Dan and for Dan Quinn, like I am so excited
Speaker 1: for the future of football and like even its current landscape,
Speaker 1: and for Sam Donald. There was a thing I posted
Speaker 1: about it today that there was a picture of Baker
Speaker 1: Makefield and Sam Donald playing in Carolina just two years ago,
Speaker 1: and it was two people that a lot of people
Speaker 1: wrote off and was like, you know, their careers never
Speaker 1: really panned out, you know, no, no, no, and here they
Speaker 1: fricking are, Like, I'm so excited for Sam Donald and
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has been showing like you know, just like
Speaker 1: he's just is a guy that never gives up. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I love I love sports
Speaker 1: so much, and I love the idea that it's like
Speaker 1: these guys get other chances and when they're with the
Speaker 1: right coach or with the right team say same thing,
Speaker 1: Like I just it makes me really excited. And Brian Flores,
Speaker 1: who kind of resurrected, Yeah, he was like freaking crushing
Speaker 1: with the bloodze yesterday. Yeah, it's awesome. It's forty percent
Speaker 1: of dropbacks this guy. But and guess what. You know
Speaker 1: what's crazy. It's like they know it's coming. Any opposing
Speaker 1: team knows it's coming, and you can't stop it like
Speaker 1: this cat. This is Taylor Swift. You guys, I'm at
Speaker 1: the ranch and we were talking about it on the
Speaker 1: pre game. Gime me bo i. The last time I
Speaker 1: was here, I showed this is my my little kiddie
Speaker 1: that's not a kid anymore. This is Taylor Swift and
Speaker 1: she's gotten so big, but she's so cute. You guys,
Speaker 1: who ah, I love you. Do you want to do
Speaker 1: some headlines? Yeah? Wait, are we still going? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Brian said, remaining topics headlines. I love this, Okay, headlines, headlines,
Speaker 1: this is for you. Start the first one. I ruined
Speaker 1: my skin following beauty influencer advice and wasted thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1: I didn't waste thousands of dollars, but I had to
Speaker 1: use a good amount of money to fix my skin.
Speaker 1: Emma Miller posted a video showing how Korean skincare products
Speaker 1: commonly promoted on Skin Talk ruined her skin. In the video,
Speaker 1: she shows clips of her before and after using those
Speaker 1: types of products. At first, her face appears clear and glossy,
Speaker 1: A big thing they always advertise is glass skin, glass skin,
Speaker 1: and then she claims she got covered in large red bumps.
Speaker 1: She claims they were caused by an allergic reaction. If
Speaker 1: you're trying to follow every fad to improve your skin,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to exacerbate the underlying problem. People need
Speaker 1: to realize less is more. That is from a dermatologist.
Speaker 1: I agree, I can't listen. I talked about it on
Speaker 1: a little Docs is still and for the shit I
Speaker 1: did to myself, it turns out I was adding more
Speaker 1: oil to an oily face and that didn't work out. Well. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is interesting because I appreciate you also using
Speaker 1: the word exacerbate in this explanation. Oh yeah, well it
Speaker 1: was written there. I'm proud of it. I loved, I loved.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a question of if you could read. I
Speaker 1: just love the word exacerbate. So here's here's my question
Speaker 1: about all this so I, as you know, shop a
Speaker 1: lot on Instagram. Sure close, I find like random fun things.
Speaker 1: So I'd like to admit that the other day I
Speaker 1: bought into the masks. You've seen a lot of the
Speaker 1: peel off masks. Oh, let the mask sit for five
Speaker 1: hours and then keel it off, and it looks amazing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's one I've been using. Is
Speaker 1: that the one you've been using the C two lift? Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's it. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not in your gift basket. Oh well, great, because
Speaker 1: that one I trust. Because this one I it was
Speaker 1: a mask and I had to leave it on. It
Speaker 1: said five hours. There's no way in hell I can
Speaker 1: leave something on the five hours. Who has time for
Speaker 1: all that? Well, an hour in Minnesota to Chicago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could have alone. I could have done that one hour,
Speaker 1: in which I'm shocked I even made it an hour.
Speaker 1: I took it off Aaron. My face was on fire, okay, fire,
Speaker 1: and I said to see if I go, I think
Speaker 1: something's wrong, like my skin's like burning. And he goes, well,
Speaker 1: what is that mask? And I go, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got it off Instagram. He goes no, this is
Speaker 1: the shit. Why are you doing that? You spend all
Speaker 1: your space on your face stuff, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you want to do a swipe up on
Speaker 1: Instagram and he goes only buy reputable products. And I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, and here's the thing. Maybe there is
Speaker 1: some Koreans. We don't want to say all Koreans. Storm
Speaker 1: cares back totally. We're not saying that. We just need
Speaker 1: to consult a dermatologist. I need to not buy masks
Speaker 1: off Instagram, and you need to get off that doxa selling.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I fell into this whole thing where
Speaker 1: this like cream like whatever sort of like rents or
Speaker 1: whatever was bringing cistic act to a head. And they
Speaker 1: were like you can feel it come out. So I'm
Speaker 1: like sitting here scrubbing my face with it. Meanwhile I'm
Speaker 1: just putting more zits in my skin. It was crazy behavior.
Speaker 1: And how are we feeling now? Is the journey almost over?
Speaker 1: You're back to normal? I feel like I'm pretty much
Speaker 1: back to normal. I still am like traveling with the
Speaker 1: antibiotic and two creams that I'm on, but like this weekend,
Speaker 1: I had a dooozy. This one was like coming like
Speaker 1: it was. It was really circulating, it was pulsating, it
Speaker 1: was starting to come up, and I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: hat feel it. Oh and then you're like, I really
Speaker 1: go bad. I had a couple of cocktails the night
Speaker 1: before a game and I was like, I feel kind
Speaker 1: of cocky. I brought something to Pocust. I got it all.
Speaker 1: You did a good job and it was minimal damage. God,
Speaker 1: that is a huge victory forgets the victory the next
Speaker 1: day for whatever team you're covering. It's like the night
Speaker 1: before when you can go to bed knowing that you
Speaker 1: got it out and it's not going to be a
Speaker 1: catastrophe for Gillian or Dominique. That day can also something psycho.
Speaker 1: Not only do I always like manifest or try to
Speaker 1: feel what the needle feels like in the hole that
Speaker 1: could get this stuff out. I am constantly seeing it
Speaker 1: come out like in my I know I might have
Speaker 1: like a although I had to like block some of
Speaker 1: the videos like I don't need all of the like
Speaker 1: Puss videos like the Shore too much, the Big Head
Speaker 1: cistic like the back of the whole thing, but the
Speaker 1: satisfaction of a blackhead where like you didn't even know
Speaker 1: how about Donna, my sweet facialists who I absolutely love.
Speaker 1: No like I have like a custom facialist. She's just
Speaker 1: who I consistently go to Donna, who's on staff as
Speaker 1: my facialist. She knows I need her to narrate it
Speaker 1: what I need her to narrate it. While she's doing extractions,
Speaker 1: she will go go, oh wow, this one's been here
Speaker 1: for a while, and I was like, oh good good.
Speaker 1: Sometimes she'll show me like if I want to see
Speaker 1: I'm like a video. Yeah, there's such satisfaction. My favorite, though,
Speaker 1: is right when you lay down on the table and
Speaker 1: they bring over that light, that magnifying light, and she
Speaker 1: like pokes around and she's like, ooh, we got a
Speaker 1: lot of good ones in here, and I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: it's gonna It's like what would I have done if
Speaker 1: I didn't come here, you know, like how long would
Speaker 1: this blackhead just be accumulating? Look, I need a little
Speaker 1: bit of a clean out right now. Pre playoffs suckage.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, well we have another headline, but we'll
Speaker 1: wait for next week. I love that. Okay, Well, I
Speaker 1: love you so much and I'm glad you're not mad
Speaker 1: at me. I am so concerned Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: should have called you. It was just such a quick
Speaker 1: trip to Minnesota. We're there, we're at dinner, we gotta go.
Speaker 1: It was like I also felt like I wasn't I
Speaker 1: was prepared. I love this, by the way. I love
Speaker 1: what I put myself through to prepare. And then it's
Speaker 1: like I'm good. No, you know what though, this is psycho, No,
Speaker 1: this is stop. I'm gonna stop you right here, because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people sometimes not a lot of people,
Speaker 1: but there's some young women or men that might be
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast and always wonder how you prepare,
Speaker 1: and yeah, how we got here. Over Preparing is never
Speaker 1: a negative thing because then it's the one time you
Speaker 1: don't that you're exposed for something and then you know
Speaker 1: that's the end of your career. So totally don't ever
Speaker 1: worry about over preparing. Just be like, well, I'm so
Speaker 1: glad that I did that, even if it was you know, Okay, Steve,
Speaker 1: this is what Steve's doing. He just came in and
Speaker 1: he's videotaping us dough the pod. No, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't need it because he can't hear what we're saying.
Speaker 1: So he's all he's hearing is blackheads. Hey, I told
Speaker 1: the story of us breaking up, but not really. Yeah,
Speaker 1: okay whatever. He seems really concerned. I have a question
Speaker 1: for you. Have you ever done a Thursday night Minnesota
