1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. All I know is the next morning,

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Rachel's like, what the hell happened to you? Askedn't I

00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: long time coming. I'm so excited that you're on with us.

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was an honor I got. I

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: was like, I'm in, let's go. It's like it's like

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: it's it's better than any invite you could get with

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: you guys.

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's right up there with the White Party.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: Has anyone ever been to that? No, anyway, a co

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: worker has.

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: But that's about any coworkers have been to it. But yeah,

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: not on those yet.

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: You look like you've been on a gat you are.

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: You have their nice sum retan on you. But now

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: all of our lives are about to be over in

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: the best possible way. I'm very excited that the season

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: is upon us, you guys, gosh, I.

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Mean, I'm excited for the season, but you know, getting

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: a little sun and having a cocktailler too isn't the

28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: worst either, Let's be honest, it's not.

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: And we've been lucky enough to have a few of

30
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: those together over the off season. So keV, you're no

31
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: stranger to the nonsense that is the Calm Down Podcast.

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, for six months out of the year.

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: So as you know as a loyal listener of the

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: Calm Down Podcast, this is not a formal production. So

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: any expectations that you had of this being like that,

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: just throw them right down your staircase that's behind.

37
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: We got a great staircase, by the way.

38
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Know. It's funny because when I when

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: I knew I was coming on, I asked for the

40
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: list of questions. I was stunned that there was no

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: formal list. Totally shocked. I was like, whoa kind of

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: am I going on here?

43
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: You needed your publicist to agree to the questions that

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: you were about to be asked?

45
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: But no, this is my publicist right here.

46
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: That angel tell the story about Laura, how she came

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: into your life?

48
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: Is it Laura or Lara how do we say.

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: It's Laura like Lara Kraft Logan. My son named her

50
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: like a Lara Craft tomb raider situation. Yeah, we were

51
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: looking at rescues years ago. We've had it for eight

52
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: years now, and you know, we had like an idea

53
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: of kind of dogs we wanted and we went to

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: one of the rescue spots in La to find her

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: and they couldn't get her out of the cage, like

56
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: they found her on the street. She was shaking like

57
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: a leaf. And then just like one of those things, right,

58
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, we said, let's try see you can get

59
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: her out of the cage, and they brought out of

60
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: the cage and she went right to my son and

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: sat in his lap and stopped shaking. I was like, well,

62
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: I guess we're going to talk today. Yeah, so it was.

63
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool. One of those like really neat

64
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: dog stories. They're they're the best, aren't they they are.

65
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: We were talking about that before we got on here

66
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: because the day that rough day for me, I have

67
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: to put one of ours down and it's like the

68
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: worst and this has not a down and we're not

69
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: trying to be a down here, but it's just to

70
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: further accentuate and highlight that those you know animals, they're

71
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: so loyal and so loving, and so are you, mister Burkhart.

72
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: So let's turn our attention back to the task at hands.

73
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: So I don't start crying, because there's no reason to

74
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: cry when you're on the podcast.

75
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: Now.

76
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: You going into your eleventh year now, right, because you

77
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: started with EA on the twelfth year. Okay, twelfth year,

78
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: because your first year was with John Lynch and with EA.

79
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, that.

80
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: Was twenty thirteen, I think right. Er, I think we

81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: were twenty thirteen. We had the one year together with

82
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: John and then and then obviously we were far for

83
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: all these years, the last and few. So now it's

84
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: we're back for our third our third year together, right,

85
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: I think that's losing track is bad, but.

86
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: It's time flies when you're having fun. So in twelve years,

87
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: when you think about that broadcast team from twelve years ago,

88
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: John Lynch of course now the general manager for the

89
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers, Aaron's had a baby. You

90
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: have so many different hats that you wear at Fox.

91
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: You are the lead host anchor for MLB on Fox.

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: You are the lead play by play announcer now alongside

93
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and with Aaron and Tom on the Fox

94
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 2: NFL broadcast. So in the last twelve years, what would

95
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: you say is the biggest change that's happened for you

96
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: in those Well?

97
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: How much? You geez? You know, It's it's funny, like

98
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: I've worked with obviously a lot of different great people,

99
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: and the cool thing is, like, you know, still having

100
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: great relationships with them. I like, I just talked to

101
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: John Lynch this morning, right, like, you know, except now

102
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: he's running the forty nine ers, so that's a little weird. Yeah,

103
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: what did he say?

104
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: What's going on with are you?

105
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: What do you have that that? You know, he's got

106
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: some stuff going on, maybe some stuff for after the

107
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: record button has hit on this podcast. You you know,

108
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: you guys know John. He's always in a great mood

109
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: and he's always good. So so I think that's the

110
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: coolest part. Cet. It's like, you know, I mean, obviously

111
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: when Joe and Troy left and was lucky enough to

112
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: get promoted with Greg and bump up, like one of

113
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: the really cool things. I mean, obviously it's a great thing.

114
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: But one of the really cool things is getting back

115
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: with Aaron, because you know, we had that relationship, a

116
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: great relationship in year one and we always continue that

117
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: and then kind of getting back together was really and

118
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: it's been crazy fun. So I just think it's like

119
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: the relationships and the people that you come across and

120
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: deal with, and you know, like, for example baseball, like

121
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter joins us, right and you know, I covered

122
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: him a little bit, I interviewed him. I didn't know

123
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: him from at all, right, like, and honestly, I don't

124
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: think a lot of people did because they didn't let

125
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: people in. And so now getting to know him has

126
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: been one of my favorite things in the last year

127
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: because he's just so freaking normal and cool. So stuff

128
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: like that, I just you know, you I pinched myself

129
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: if I told myself that it's seventeen years old that

130
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: I was doing this stuff wild.

131
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, best Jeter story you can share with us that

132
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: you know you never kind of thought would happen in

133
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: a relationship between the two of you, anything you can.

134
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: Share, I mean, the best Yeah, I'll share this, and

135
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: sorry if you didn't want this out there, but the

136
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: best Judas story is like this just gives you an

137
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: idea of how cool he is and how much respect

138
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: I have for him. But when he got hired, I

139
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: was like, hey, can we spend some time together? You know,

140
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to knowme.

141
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: So we build something you would tell this one.

142
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: Yes, and and so he's like, you know, absolutely whatever,

143
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, so go down and go and go hang.

144
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: And we're like, all right, you know, wherever you want

145
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: to go, Derek, I'll go whatever. So we picked a

146
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: spot we go and you know, it was like middle

147
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: of the day, and you know, I was I happened

148
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: to be mentioning. We were on like a little promo

149
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: shoot earlier in the day, and so we basically carved

150
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: out time at night to hang. So this was like

151
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, three thirty in the afternoon, and I

152
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: was talking, you know, as as you guys well know.

153
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: I had like a good cocktail or a couple don't

154
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: and I said, man, I could crave a margarita. And

155
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: so and that was, you know, at noon, sadly, and.

156
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: We got got when it turns to pm, you're fine,

157
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, don't worry about it.

158
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: That's what I thought too. I mean it might have

159
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: been eleven to fifty ish, but it was like close. So, uh,

160
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, we go and we go to this place

161
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: and we're hanging out and I ordered like a you

162
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: know whatever. I ordered like an iced tea and Derek's

163
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: like iced tea. He's like, I thought we were doing tequila.

164
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, my man, and and we just

165
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: had the best time. I felt like I knew him forever,

166
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: and that was the first time I met him. We

167
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: were just you know, talking, bullshitting, telling stories and listening

168
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to him tell stories. It was the best. So like

169
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: that just kind of tells you all you need to

170
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: know about him, right, A guy that makes somebody just

171
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: met feel that comfortable. So that's a pretty good. That's

172
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: one of my favorites.

173
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: That's amazing, keV. I have so much respect for you

174
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: and for so many different reasons. But I can't imagine

175
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: what your preparation looks like. So, uh, those people that

176
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: don't know Kevin obviously wears the two hats, the two

177
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: largest hats you could wear at this network in that

178
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: you're anchoring this you know group that with Big Poppy

179
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: and Jeter and the incredible baseball guys. And then you

180
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: go over and you sit in a booth and you

181
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: call games and then for the A with the A

182
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: crew for the NFL, and just how do you and

183
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: I look at you from a vantage point as obviously

184
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: a host because I've never done play by play before,

185
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: but sort of what's the biggest difference for you professionally

186
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: moving from that booth position of play by play to

187
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: the host position in baseball and sort of how are

188
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: you able to do both of those things so effortlessly.

189
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, Chris, I I always really prided

190
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: myself on being versatile, and you know, earlier in my

191
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: career people are like, oh, you got to pick one

192
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: thing you can't be. You can't be doing all this stuff.

193
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: You know, you can't. You can't be a jack of

194
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: ball trays. It doesn't work right. So coming here and

195
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: having Fox, I have the faith of me to actually

196
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: be versatile and do both, like really take a lot

197
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: of pride in that. And you know, I think the

198
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: preps it's different, but in the same you know, in

199
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: doing the play by play, it's definitely more detail. Like

200
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm not studying the you know, when I'm doing the

201
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: baseball pre game, I'm not studying the twenty fifth guy

202
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: on the bench and what he hits the runners and

203
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: scoring positions. Yeah, it's more, as you know, it's more

204
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: like general themes. What's going on with the team, what

205
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: do the fans think? What's the news, like the important topics.

206
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: And you're doing that too with play by play, but

207
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: it's just detail like play by play. I know I

208
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: have stuff on every single guy that may or may

209
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: not get in the game because my biggest fear is

210
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: and this happened to be years ago before Fox, Like,

211
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, I was doing a game and some guy

212
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: the Jets just signed off the street blocked a punt

213
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: return it for a touchdown. I had no idea what

214
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, I knew his name, but I

215
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, I knew his name, but I'm like, I

216
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: will never do that again. I will never go into

217
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: a game and not know something about every single player.

218
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: And so that kind of that's the difference in the prep.

219
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, really is you're just the way I

220
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: describe it to like younger people or people that are

221
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: trying to get in the du I feel like, and

222
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys feel. I feel like

223
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: you for that week you become an expert or try

224
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: to become an expert on those two teams, and you're

225
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: speaking to the diehards, you're speaking to the casual fan,

226
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: and you're also speaking to the people that have never

227
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: watched a baseball game all year. So that's kind of

228
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: my thought process in a nutshell, and everyone's got a

229
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: different way about it, but that's kind of my I'm

230
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: kind of you know, Aaron and I think are the similar.

231
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: We talk about prep a lot. We're not sending each

232
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: other articles at midnight and stuff like that.

233
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: She sent me seven on you today. I did to prepay.

234
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: She didn't. And by the way, and this is me.

235
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: So they come through the headlines.

236
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 2: It's like these glowing headlines on you and I immediately

237
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: look at them and I hadn't I hadn't opened them yet.

238
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: I immediately responded. I was like, finally the respect that

239
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: KB deserves. These were articles from six years ago that

240
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: she was sending me like just in case. I yeah,

241
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, I was like, yeah, eron,

242
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: I know that. But I was like, I just love

243
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: her that she like also wants to make sure that

244
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: I have the information and prep for you. Who we've

245
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: been I've been lucky enough to call you know, a

246
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: friend for I don't know the last five six years,

247
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: but I think that just says a lot about who

248
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: Erin is as well. But she wants everyone on her

249
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: team to be prepared. So I'm going to put Erin

250
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: on the spot now. Greg gave us a rate Aaron

251
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: impersonation and sort of like pull back that curtain of

252
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: life on the road. I need a funny EA story.

253
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: There's a pavilion, but I need an Aaron story that

254
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: only you and or Greg from the last few seasons

255
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: would know, having spent so much time with her. And

256
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: I don't mean calling me from the airport bars when

257
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: all of our flights are delayed.

258
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorites. That's one of my favorites. No,

259
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many of them. I will say, so,

260
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: first of all, there's there's multiple things I love, but

261
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: I love like whatever it is, whether we're in a

262
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: production meeting or whether we're at an airport, or whether

263
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: whatever it is. When we're on the field for the

264
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: game and we just have this work wife, work husband thing.

265
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: I just turned around and Aaron's like the eyes big

266
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: and I and I cry and die because I know

267
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: I know exactly what she's looking at at what she's thinking.

268
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I mean, there's so many that I would

269
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: say one of our most fun nights and she knows

270
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: where I'm going to go with this probably, but one

271
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: of my most fun nights ever was a couple of

272
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: years ago when we were in Kansas City and we're

273
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: doing and you know, because we did call you from

274
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: the airport actually, and we're we're like, we do the

275
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: chiefs and we're like, you know, we don't feel like

276
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: standing kancallity, let's get home tonight. And I'm like, there's

277
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: no flights and Aaron's like, there's a Southwest flight at

278
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: ten thirty. We're going to get on it. I'm like, oh,

279
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: we're really doing that, huh. And so we're like, all right,

280
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: I'll do it with you. So, you know, this was

281
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: that I don't know it was this dinner Saturday night

282
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: or that we booked this flight.

283
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I kept looking. I'm like, it's open, it's

284
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: so good.

285
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh, we're at dinner. And then we got we got

286
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: back to the room and like we're prepping and she's

287
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: textually it's there are two seats now book now. Okay,

288
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: So we booked the.

289
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: Flight Business Select.

290
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: So we we go in do it and we had,

291
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, we had a decent amount of time to

292
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: kill at the airport, which is fine. We're just we

293
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: just wanted to sleep in our own bed. You know

294
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: how that is. You get like you just want to

295
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: you just want to sleep in your own bed, no

296
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: matter how long the day is. So we're in the airport,

297
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: we got time to kill and you know, it starts

298
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: casual and then we're watching the Sunday night game and

299
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: then we're having a couple of cocktails and then the

300
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: flight gets delayed. Well it's already a long day, and

301
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: now the flight's like really delayed. And then a couple

302
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: of cocktails turned into multiple cocktails, and then the best

303
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: part is the flight finally is ready to board. So

304
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: we're like the only ones left in this little bar

305
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: and we say the guy, hey, can we get a

306
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: ROADI A you know, a red wine, you know, roady,

307
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: whatever you got, and as one does, you got it,

308
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: and he came out with a I'm thinking like a

309

00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: because again you deserve all the recognition in the world.

367
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: Kevin Burkhart, one time car salesman, is Fox's new NFL

368
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: play by play guy. He was a used car salesman.

369
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: Now he's calling the super Bowl. So how do you

370
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: go from that? Wall Street Journal, by the way, wrote

371
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: that that's pretty big ship when you have a whole

372
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: article about you.

373
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: I didn't get asked for that one weird.

374
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, what can I do to put you

375
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: in this New Tahoe touchdown? Cowboy? It's all the same,

376
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: it's all on the same breath, you know what. It's

377
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: actually really it's actually really fun story. And if we

378
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: don't do it if we don't do a car commercial together.

379
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: At some point, I seriously missing a huge opportunity here

380
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: with the two of the Hello, you've got a friend

381
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: in the car business.

382
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 3: We'll do our jingle later.

383
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh I could. I don't remember the jingle, but

384
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: I did do a commercial for them, ironically later and

385
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: it was horrendous, but I did it.

386
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: Okay, we got to do you remember any part of it?

387
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: Oh? I remember all of it because we played it

388
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: on the Baseball Post game show. They busted my playing. Yeah,

389
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: it was just like me and this. It was me

390
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: and this, like this giant, Like I had a shirt

391
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: that was like sixteen X and I weighed like one

392
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy pounds. I was like, Hi, welcome to

393
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: Pine Belt Chevrolet. And I was like, I can't believe

394
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: that guy's on the air doing like the fox A game.

395
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: It's wild. But anyway, Yeah, so I went I just

396
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: basically as we've all been right, you get hit these

397
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: parts where you're just like okay, and I just hit

398
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: a wall and I was like, why can't I get

399
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: a break? I don't understand what's going on? And so

400
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: I literally just went through the Sunday Classifies back when

401
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the newspaper was still being delivered, and I found a

402
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: car dealership and I was like, you know what, I'll

403
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: go to that. I had no idea to sell, how

404
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: to sell cars, any of that stuff, and I just

405
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: went in. The guy said okay, sure you're hired. And

406
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 1: then I kind of said, well, you know, I think

407
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: I'm a sportscaster. So he's like a or whatever, and

408
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: then like we just started talking and he like, I

409
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: got like some some opportunities to fill in occasionally on

410
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: like WCBS in New York, and and then he just

411
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: he heard me one night driving home from the dealership

412
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: and he's like, man, he's like, you're really good. He's

413
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: like okay, He's like, so you let me know when

414
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: you get like freelance opportunities, I'll just let you go.

415
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: Just keep it between me and you. So he turned

416
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: into a real friend, and this guy by named Mike Travina,

417
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: who still owns one of the couple of the dealerships,

418
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: and so it became like a relationship. And when I

419
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: got gigs, you just let me go. And then I sold.

420
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: You know, I did pretty well selling cars, so it

421
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: actually was really I enjoy talking back because I enjoyed

422
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: telling young people like, hey, like you know, I was

423
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: in the middle of it trying to figure it out too.

424
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: You don't you don't have to like get it right

425
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: out of college and go to the you know, the

426
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: top thing like you can. Your path can be kind

427
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: of weird. So it was a good It was a

428
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: good learning experience, no doubt. I actually took a lot

429
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: from it. It was cool.

430
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: That's a big thing taught.

431
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: Sorry, ct why don't I teach you kind of holding

432
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: out and having a schlap and sell cars and all that.

433
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, the big it's er. It's a great question. Quite simply.

434
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: It just taught me to ask for stuff I wanted.

435
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: And because I was always like it don't rock the book.

436
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: I still kind of am. I'm like I'm not. I'm

437
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: pretty laid back, you guys know, like I'm unless I

438
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: get to the point where something really pisses me off,

439
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: like which doesn't happen very often at all, And so

440
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm usually just a go with the flow guy and

441
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: like doing that job. Very simply, you either asked for

442
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: what you want or you don't do You don't put

443
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: money and you don't pay rent, you know. So it

444
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: just taught me to negotiate, to ask for things because

445
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: the worst people could say is no. And then from

446
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: there I took that lesson and like I called a

447
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: guy who I'd worked with before, who was a program

448
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: director at the Fan in New York, Eric Spitz, and

449
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: I just called him. I said, Hey, I think I'm

450
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: good enough to work at your station, Like, can I audition?

451
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: And he said, uh, okay, come in Friday. I'm like what.

452
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: So it's just like a it was just a simple lesson,

453
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: but it was just one that I just I guess

454
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: I just never knew how to do. So it taught

455
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: me a very valuable skill.

456
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: But don't you also appreciate that you had to do

457
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: things like that, because now when you sit in a

458
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: booth and you call a super Bowl, or you sit

459
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: on that desk alongside Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter or

460
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 2: Big Poppy and you're at the world here, he's like you,

461
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: I imagine, because it's how I feel when we've all

462
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: had the great fortune of living out our dream job.

463
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: Is that you're like, oh, but it didn't No one

464
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: just handed you a willy want a golden ticket? Is

465
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: like you get to do this, you had to go

466
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: through all these other things where you had to work,

467
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: you know, your way up to get to where you are.

468
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 2: So I imagine the appreciation is there and you wouldn't

469
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 2: change it for the.

470
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: World, your spot on I mean, you know me, well,

471
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: I would never change it, and I would never not

472
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: I will never not appreciate what I'm doing because I

473
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: know the alternative right and just sitting there trying to

474
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: climb the ladder and hope you get any anywhere near

475
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: the top. Forget about to the top, just you know,

476
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: getting traction and moving up in the industry and doing

477
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: things you want to do. So yeah, from there, there's

478
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: never a time that I don't go and walk a

479
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: field at a stadium with Aaron and not look around

480
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: just for a second and be like this is pretty

481
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: cool that I am standing on this field and going

482
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: to talk to all these people later doing this Like

483
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: there's never one game where that doesn't happen. And you're right,

484
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: it's because of that experience and like my journey here

485
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: and you know everyone, you know, there's a lot of

486
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: people that come out and go right in the star

487
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: is right from school or right from high school, Like,

488
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: God bless them. That's great. I don't think I would

489
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: have been. I think the way that I did it

490
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: was good for me, Like I don't. I think it

491
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: helped me get to be who I am today. So

492
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: I embrace it. I really do. I'm happy it happened

493
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: that way.

494
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: I want best cars sales pitch. I like, say, I'm

495
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: just going in as a woman. What things should I

496
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 2: stay away from from guys like you? What things are

497
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: like you?

498
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: You son of don't tell me? Like what? What? What

499
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: is one? What's your always your go to?

500
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: Like I always have my fallback go to question for

501
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: Kyle at halftime or Matt at halftime?

502
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: What was your go to sales pitch?

503
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: What is most important to you? It was always like okay, oh,

504
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: people always had a trigger, so it was always is

505
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: the monthly payment important? Is it a newer used car?

506
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: Is it a certain feature in the car? Like they

507
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: always had a trigger. So it was finding out what

508
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: that trigger was and then kind of working off of that.

509
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: The crazy thing is that I don't know if it's

510
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: still the same. I mean this was one that I

511
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: last sell cars. I mean I don't remember.

512
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: That it's all the same as a daughter of a

513
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: used car salesman a visits. It's all the same that

514
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 2: if you can sell, you can sell. It doesn't matter

515
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: if this is nineteen eighty six or if it's twenty

516
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: twenty four.

517
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 3: Like that's all the same, true, no doubt.

518
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: But chrisy, you know, like the crazy thing is and

519
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: I tell people this and they still don't blame it

520
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: like you would, just the way it's structure. And maybe

521
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: it's not like this at every place, but you know,

522
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: our place is depended on you know, what kind of

523
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: incentives the dealer had and things like that, and you

524
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: get paid a lot on structure, like if you sold

525
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: eight cars that month, you got a bonus, you know,

526
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: something like that. And there would be times where I

527
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: would sell, you know, a fifty thousand dollars suburban and

528
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: I would make fifty dollars on the sale, and it

529
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: made no sense, like literally no sense. So it was

530
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: like it was just no rhyme or reason to Sometimes

531
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: it depended and then there'd be other times you sell

532
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: a twenty five thousand dollars car, but the dealer owned

533
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: it for a certain price and you'd make a good amount.

534
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: You made a couple grands so it just it was

535
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: a you had to be like, I think it's.

536
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: One of the I I'm only I'm only interjecting because

537
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: I think it's one of the hardest thing. Again, my

538
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: father worked construction, hurt his back, and then he had

539
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: to sell cars, and so I watched him growing up

540
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: like that idea and then eventually, to his credit, like

541
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: you like, he ended up owning the dealership or you know,

542
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 2: he didn't become the lead announcer for Fox, but I'm

543
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: sure he would have loved that opportunity too. But when

544
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: you watch somebody beat your dependent sales is the hardest

545
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: thing to do because there is no guaranteed money and

546
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: you have a family to support, and it was like

547
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 2: the stress that comes with that.

548
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 3: But so I give so much.

549
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: I have so much respect for doing that job, and

550
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 2: not only doing that job because I watched it be

551
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: hard for my father, but also because you were willing

552
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 2: to do anything to support your family, and I think

553
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 2: that that's something that's like so commendable.

554
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: Here's the one thing that my dad taught.

555
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad always told me don't close after the sale,

556
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: Like if I'm on the lot, and I'm like, okay,

557
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 2: I'll take it, and then you keep being like and

558
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 2: there's air conditioning and there's this.

559
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 3: It's like, ooh, they got don't shut.

560
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: Up, just shut off because now you might say more

561
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: and it's like they've already said they're going to buy

562
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: the car. So like so many times, and I think

563
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: about this in my own life, like if like whatever,

564
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 2: I get a job and I'm like.

565
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 3: Okay, but I'm gonna work really hard and I'm gonna

566
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: do this. It's like, you're shut up. We just gave

567
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: you the job, now you're ruining it. Walk away.

568
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: Go sign the goddamn paperwork before they take it back.

569
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: So don't close after the sale was my big and I.

570
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: Promise you will regret it and then I'll keep.

571
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: You ear Yeah exactly. It's like, okay, lady, but yeah,

572
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 2: I just love that. That's so great. Well, Kevin, it's

573
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: not a surprise to me though, that you were successful

574
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 2: at that because, and I say this so unbiasedly, just yes,

575
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: I feel lucky enough to be your teammate, as I

576
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: know Aaron does. But you are one of the nicest

577
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: anyone listening to this you have to know that what

578
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 2: you see is what you get with Kevin. There's no

579
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: like he's one person on TV and another person when

580
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: the TV.

581
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 3: You know, he walks out of the booth and takes

582
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: the mic. Not true?

583
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 2: Okay, Yes, Sassy, Kevin is a fucking time Okay. I

584
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,480

585
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 2: an asshole behind the scene, Sassy, yes, but kind Kevin,

586
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,400

00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,639

595
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: it's like you get somebody that's loading into the plane

596
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,159

Speaker 1: They're a I'll throw out some one liners. I you know,

602
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: Aaron loves the sassy keV. We were talking about John

603
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: Lynch earlier. He used to say, the jersey's coming out,

604
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: like the jersey's coming out. Oh KB, the jersey KBS

Speaker 1: coming out a little bit now, Yeah, yeah, you get that.

606
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: You get it. You know, I get some moments because

607
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: I may save a couple for Aaron on weekends just

608
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: to you know, just to save them up so then

609
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: I could unload them on. You know.

610
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: My favorite is when keV just said, you know, from

611
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: everything that he's gone through in his career to be

612
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: where he is now, that's why he takes an extra

613
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 2: minute to enjoy walking around the field. I was going

614
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: to say, except when you're going and you're you're broadcasting

615
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,800
