Speaker 1: want to listen to this podcast, well then we are

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: here to support you. Grab a cocktail, coffee or whatever water?

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Is that vodka? It's going to be in a couple hours. Oh,

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Okay. We had two incredible games this week.

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Gal was in Chicago for the rivalry that is the

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers Chicago Bears. I was in Seattle for

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: the Seahawks Rams game. Holy shit, holy hell go no

39
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: you you start all right. Already knew that this was

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: going to be a fantastic game. It's great, you know,

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: first place in the Division on the line, first place

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: in the NFC on the line. Given the outcome, and

43
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: as we are in week sixteen, there's only so many

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: weeks left where these teams can jockey for position. So

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: in the ever changing landscape that is the NFC, AFC

46
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: is also changing. But like NFC is like every week,

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: it's like Chicago was in first and then they dropped

48
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: all the way to seventh with one loss, and so

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: it's like it was just gonna be a massive game.

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: Little did we know exceeded expectations and that the expectations

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: were already high. Seahawks end up winning in overtime in

52
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: this dramatic fashion. There was two point conversions, There was

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: controversial calls. There was Sam Darnold being the hero. There

54
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: was Matthew Stafford for throwing for four hunds fifty seven yards,

55
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and still losing over five hundred total yards

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: of offense for the Rams. Puka Nakua had himself a

57
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: book in day two hundred and twenty five yards over

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: two hundre dards. I don't exact stat line wild no

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, what was gonna happen? Dun duh da du

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: dah so, I mean, there was a point where the

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Rams were up by sixteen and everyone's turning off their

62
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: streaming service. Boo not me, on you, boo on you,

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: not me. There was fans leaving Loomenfield. Hey see, hey,

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: twelve's you got to revoke the twelve card. If you

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: left during that game, that's on you. Okay, massive game

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: to follow, sixteen point deficit, no problem. Seahawks rally, rally,

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: largest fourth quarter comeback in franchise history. Oh my god,

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: standing on the sideline with chirm in the whole get

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: along gang. What's gonna happen? What's gonna happen? What's going

70
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: to happen. Sam Darnold, for those of you that don't

71
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: follow football, has this narrative that he can't show up

72
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: in big games. The last time he played the Rams

73
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: had fore interceptions. Last time he saw the Rams in

74
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs when he playoffs when he was with Minnesota,

75
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: didn't have a G game. So it was like, oh,

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: here we go again, is it? Sam? Donald can't show

77
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: up when the lights are the brightest, Sammy, Sammy showed up.

78
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: And you know how much I love Matthew and I

79
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: love the Rams too, But this was a great moment

80
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: for Sam Donald and the Seattle Seahawks. Also give it

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: up for Mike McDonald and the coaching job he's done

82
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: in his second year. Quick turnaround. I feel like it

83
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: was incredible and why he's second actually in votes right

84
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: now or Vegas odds for Coach of the Year because

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, longtime coach in Seattle, did an incredible job,

86
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: took his team to two Super Bowls. They won one,

87
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: but Mike McDonald, only in his second year now has

88
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: ten plus wins in both seasons, brings in Sam Donald. Anyways,

89
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: that's the recap. Unbelievable game. And for those fans that

90
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: did stay, and there were a lot of them, that

91
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: post game was so much fun. And Sam has such

92
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: an even temperament, he's not going to get too high

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: or too low. But I was like, you know, and

94
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: you know the feeling we're we're like so jacked up,

95
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: like the way that I am even a week removed,

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: and like narrating this whole situation. I'm like, guys, I'm

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: going to need a little bit more from you. Sam.

98
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: This was like are we in shock? What's happening? So

99
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: him and Jackson were just like so calm, and I

100
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: was like, are you guys like happy? What's going on here?

101
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: And Sam's like, I'm just really cold. So then Fitz

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: takes off his jacket and puts it on him. Anyways,

103
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: it was an awesome game, like could not ask for

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: a better ending, obviously for Rams fans. But it was

105
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: the rain. It wasn't even that, it was like, it

106
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: was just the drizzle. It was the drizzle and the

107
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: winds were kicking up. That's why I was like, pre game,

108
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: I didn't have a hat on, and I was like,

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not going to fight this. I'm

110
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: not going to I'm not going to be doing the

111
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: whole like now it's in the lip gloss. Now it's everywhere,

112
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: so just throw on the damn hat and keep it moving.

113
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: But I, like you can tell, I'm still so jacked

114
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: from that game. It was so much fun. And it

115
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: was also so much fun. I'm from Seattle to be home.

116
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: My whole family was at the game, is my sister

117
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: and my nephew because he had a basketball game. But

118
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 1: it was just great and my dad and my brother.

119
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: This is the perks of our jobs. My dad, Yeah,

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: my brother got to come on the field before and

121
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: it was just like, I don't know, it just makes

122
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: me really happy when like there's those moments where you

123
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: can like actually have your family be with you while

124
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: you're doing a job you love and simultaneously they'll you know,

125
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: get to have a front row seat to an awesome game.

126
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: So it's very cool. And now it's just sort of

127
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, the Rams are a wild card team and

128
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: we'll see how this hitch is a shakes down that

129
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: they're a wildcard team, right and now with the Lions

130
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: losing to the Steelers, now you're sitting there looking at

131
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: the Niners of clinch to playoff spot, the Rams and

132
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. So the Seahawks and the Niners play each

133
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: other Week eighteen, and that'll have a lot to do

134
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: with seating and how this whole thing goes down, and

135
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: over the next two weeks, Chicago play each other Week eighteen.

136
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: I think Detroit. It's like there's a whole it's like

137
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: a scenario every single week, Green Bays and the wild card.

138
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: Chicago is now clinched a playoff spot San Francisco. They

139
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: just keep plugging in, guys, they find ways to win.

140
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Ask Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch, they

141
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,840

00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: was wearing this heated vest because yeah, it was like

156
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: we started off and it was in the thirties. But man,

157
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: I was telling Chrissa, there were these wins, these gusts

158
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: of winds up to thirty miles an hour, which you

159
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: know is my weather channel trains. I mean, shit, from

160
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: this stands is flying down the grass from the field

161
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: is swirling around getting in your eyes. So I'm wearing

162
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: my heated vest. It was the wind was wild behavior.

163
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a lockety vest. But as I saw the

164
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: picture of it, what's wrong? It's like your girl's pack

165
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: it she got before the game. I was like, just

166
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: say't real like Instagram versus reality. You know. It was

167
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: like I said to Ryan, when I saw the photo,

168
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: I was like, what's going on here? But it was

169
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: all the like the thermals, the sweater, the vest. It

170
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: was like, I love it. Any boom bob zoom v

171
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: del So it was great. It was so much fun.

172
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: The game lived up to it. I was bombed that

173
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Jordan got Jordan, the quarterback for the Packers, got knocked

174
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: out with a concussion. Not what you want to see

175
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: in such a big game. Malik Willis came in. He

176
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: played awesome, except for that exchange for this center at

177
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: the end when they fumbled the ball the on side kick.

178
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: A lot of mistakes by the Packers that you know, obviously,

179
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur said, But hey man, the Bears hung tough

180
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams with the bomb to DJ Moore and

181
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: I got to give a shout out, because I think

182
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: I was more excited about this aspect versus the result

183
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: of the game. Our guy, Kevin Burkhart, his call that

184
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: touchdown was such text an amazing call of the textbook.

185
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: I was so I was waiting for him in the

186
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: car for us to go back to the hotel, and

187
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: he got in and he's exhausted. That's a lot for

188
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: play by play and any analyst and everything like that,

189
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: just everything they have to do be on it. A

190
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: lot going on down in the field. On the field,

191
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: and he got in the car and I said, holy shit,

192
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: that call. I mean, imagine showing the excitement, you know, transcribed,

193
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: not transcribing it, but just kind of illustrating it. I

194
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: don't even know how to say it. And your voice

195
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: cracks like And Kevin didn't like it was and I

196
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: get it, that's his job, but it was so it

197
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: was execut you did perfectly. And I was so happy

198
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: for him. There's a texting going on right now about

199
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: his call and how it's all over Twitter. It was

200
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: an unbelievable game. Kevin Burkhard is so good at his job,

201
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think it really gets talked about enough

202
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: that the fact that this guy too during it wasn't

203
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: that long ago just for Playoff Baseball where this guy

204
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: was doing an NFL game, then going and hosting the

205
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: pregame show for the World Series, Like he just does

206
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: everything seamlessly. In in addition to that, he also is

207
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: one of the nicest people that you'll ever meet. So

208
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: a lot of love always for KB. Love love, love you. Yeah,

209
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: and you know what, Caleb Williams and your six fourth

210
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: quarter comebacks. I know it's a team effort, but I'm

211
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: going to give a shout out for Kayleb Williams where

212
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: there were so many questions about, oh, is this guy

213
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: going to actually live up to the hype of being

214
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, and sure all of the

215
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: things that were coming, and Ben Johnson and the job

216
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: that he's done, and Dennis Allen on the defensive side

217
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: of the ball, it's been really how cool it is

218
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: to be a Chicago Bears fan and now be on

219
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: the other side of that thing. So many times in

220
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: those games you're just expecting, like, oh, it's not going

221
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: to work out for us. It's not going to work

222
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: out for us, because it hasn't for so many years,

223
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: and now you get to sit there and be like

224
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: holy shit, like so I love it. I love it

225
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: for these fan bases of teams like the Jaguar. I mean,

226
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: we don't and if people get mad at me the Jaguars,

227
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Jaguars whatever, Jack that your fan base.

228
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: A They had a nice win over the Broncos over

229
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: the weekend too, so you know, the Jaguars, the Bears,

230
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: like these different organizations that haven't had the success as

231
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: of late. And you know, in the Patriots they had

232
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: a nice victory over the Ravens on Sunday nights. So yeah,

233
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: it is week sixteen, well week sixteens in the books

234
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: as of tonight with the Monday night game. But it's

235
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: awesome who's playing tonight. We got the Indianapolis Colts against

236
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers. The Indians an interesting

237
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: thing too because there's still Houston and was lost to

238
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders. More. Yeah. So yeah, a lot of different

239
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: moving and shaken and shuffling in the old playoff scenarios.

240
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: That's why it's going to be exciting as we around

241
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: out the season. Here you where you headed this week?

242
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: For actually, just google Josh Allen I've got Eagles at Bills,

243
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: and I would cray to see how that foot injury

244
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: is going to be. I think it's going to be

245
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: a good game. You know, we were talking about how

246
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles have already clinched they won the NFC East,

247
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: Like what did they have to play formal? I mean,

248
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: Kevin was saying, they're off seedings, you got you know

249
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: that they want to like just get it, like they're

250
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: off the vision where they need it to be. Because

251
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: think about it for the postseason, don't sleep on the Eagles.

252
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: I mean, all of a sudden, they've been there, done that.

253
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: Well that was too Yeah, Gronk was saying, you know,

254
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: it's rare for a team this late in the season

255
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: to still not have that identity right where it's like

256
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: each week, but they they found their identity, and which

257
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: is that run game. It's like, if you get Saquon going,

258
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: then of course football one oh one, it gets the

259
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, opens up, your pass game opens up because

260
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: now your defense has to stack the box and they

261
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: have to you know, appreciate that Saquon can run all

262
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: over you. So yeah, I mean, here's the thing about

263
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: any team that has experience and has stars like Jalen

264
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: or Saquon or aj or whatever like or good defense

265
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: watch out because anything there, the calendar gets reset the

266
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: second you know it's it's the standings are you know,

267
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: zero zero once that playoff week starts. But yeah, I

268
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: had to canceas so that'll be a great game. I

269
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: had to Kansas City, not the matchup that we had obviously,

270
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, beginning of the season, had thought it would

271
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: be given it was going to be you know, Chiefs

272
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: Brown are they going to do a quarterback? I know

273
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: because Gardner minshow's out now? So yeah, there's Unfortunately, yes,

274
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: matchup wise, it doesn't you know, look like you know,

275
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: the Patrick Mahomes a division on the line with the

276
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: Broncos whatever. But look it's still the NFL. These guys

277
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: have a ton of pride. They go out there, they

278
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: work their ass off. They want to you know, finish strong.

279
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: I know that they lost yesterday to that the Chiefs

280
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: lost yesterday to the Titans. Not what they wanted there either,

281
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: But these guys still go out there every single week

282
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: and work their ass off. So I'm looking forward to

283
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: spending Christmas in Kansas City with my crew. I have

284
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: yet last year we did a Christmas. We did a

285
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: game on the twenty sixth, so I haven't worked a

286
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: game on Christmas before we were in Chicago. Oh yeah, sure,

287
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: so yeah, Christmas, like it always does, looks a little

288
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: bit different with the holidays, but like excited to actually

289
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: work a game on Christmas and complaining about it. I'm

290
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: not complaining about it. I love it, No, I do.

291
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. And it's also not going to

292
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: be as cold. There's you are the weather goal. It's

293
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: seasonably warm in the Midwest. So Steve's going with me

294
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: and we spend Christmas together and he was like, I

295
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: can't even wear the jacket I want to wear. It's

296
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: going to be hot. But anyways, yeah, looking forward to

297
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: that and Chris Maw's Christmas in I'm looking right now.

299
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: feel like they made a Hallmark movie. They did hew.

300
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: I love home Flow. So when Aaron looks that up

Speaker 1: complaining because i know I've seen it on Instagram all

320
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: the moms talk about all the effort that they put

321
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: in trying to put it on. You know, it's a lot.

322
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot, and it's a lot when you're traveling,

323
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: and it's a lot when you're hosting, and it's a

324
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: lot when you have a two year old and it's

325
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: just a lot. So again I'm not complaining, but I'm

326
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: living it. I'm living I'm living the dream. Now I'm

336
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: Aaron sent me a video this morning of him in

337
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: his little Grinch sweater. So this Christmas versus last Christmas

338
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: for him, he's like fully understands what I mean. I

339
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: know he's still too, but he's very smart what's happening.

340
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: So it's like, give me a little rundown of mac

341
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: Christmas excitement vibe. He I don't think he doesn't understand

342
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: Sanna yet. He knows Sanna and he says ho ho ho,

343
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: but he doesn't understand you have to be nice to

344
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: get presents because I'd be holding that over his head.

345
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: Hopefully next year that comes into play. He has no

346
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: idea what's going on with all that. He knows Christmas decorations.

347
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: He has the Grinch on rupine. He is attempting to

348
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: ski but not interested. He is into the Gondol wants

352
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: He's so cute walking around with this little smoothie. I know,

353
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: I said to your text about it nice. When I

00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: see him with your dad, I'm just like, I know

355
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: I can't handle it. Here's so I know you, and

356
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: it's you know what I can't handle. He's had this

357
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: call for two months, which I guess is what two

358
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: year olds and toddlers do, especially when they're in school,

359
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: and so like, I'm super protective of my family they're older,

360
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: like I don't want my little germ to get them sick.

361
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: And he's laying with my dad and we're here in

362
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: the cold weather and his nose is constantly running. I've

363
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 1: had a cold for two weeks, I whatever. So he uh,

Speaker 1: like what for you chaos? I'm sure I have the

368
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: whole idea of Like on Instagram this year, I saw

369
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: the Christmas cocktails which we executed last How can you wait?

370
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Tell me I don't know about these. We did the

371
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: big ice cube with orange juice, and then we put

372
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,239
Speaker 1: some cranberries in there. You froze it, and then we

373
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: did the little glasses, the cocktail glasses with the champagne,

374
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: and then we put the big cube in it. Then

375
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: we put like a little thing of rosemary in there,

376
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: and that was our Christmas cocktail. Really cute. That was

377
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: an Instagram thing we got. And then this year I

378
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: saw a French toast cast role. So I'm going to

379
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: do that with the brioche bread and like, okay, I

380
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: have it the night before and then feed the crew

381
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, not the Brian, I don't know, the brae

382
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: and whatever. A thicker toast I guess. So I'm going

383
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: to try to execute that. Just wait now, that'll be

384
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: in everybody that listens to this algorithm of their Instagram

385
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: brunch French toast Castro. There's like forty pounds of sugar

386
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: douche powderdge, sugar douche maple syrup. So it'll be an

387
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: all day affair, and then the twenty six will be like,

388
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: it's not for cleanup. It's not for cleanup, because then

389

Speaker 1: everybody's shipping out Buffalo the whole shit and kaboodle. Yeah,

Speaker 1: they can also be friends and like they're not just

400
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: little anymore. And one of my nephews, style is still little.

00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 1: on it. I was like that's adorable, but it is.

417
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: And I get that holidays can also be like a

418
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: lonely time. I've spent many holidays sad and lonely. I

419
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: don't like that. Yeah, I mean that that's the truth

420
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: of you know, different phases of our lives or when

421
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, even when I was in a situation and

422
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: I like hated the person, I was like get me

423
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: out of this, or when I didn't have a guy

424
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: and it wasn't just about a guy. It's just being

425
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: away from your family or whatever the situation is. So

426
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: I hope that, you know, if anybody out there is

427
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: like not feeling the best this holiday season, I hope

428
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,159

429
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,680

431
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,119

432
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: comfort also, like movies are so comforting when you're by yourself.

433
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: I mean I am more. Sometimes it's pressing because I

434
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: feel like what you know, like what giving because like,

435
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: well it's like back in the day I remember before

436
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: I was married and marital bliss. I'm kidding, I'm happy.

437
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm just in weeks six season. I love blank twice.

438
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: If you need help, no, like sometimes I find it.

439
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: Sometimes Christmas songs can be depressing and holiday movies can

440
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: be depressing. It's like they always find the guy they

441
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: didn't at first. It's like if you're lonely, that's kind

442
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: of hard. Well, this is so I love love. We've

443
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: already established this, right, Like I was not going to

444
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: give up until I found love, and I love Hallmark

445
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: movies for that reason, and my dad and I always

446
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: share this. My dad loves Hallmark movies too. And my mom,

447
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: Kathy being the cynic, although she's great, she goes, oh

448
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: my god, you guys, you already know what's going to happen.

449
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: They're going to find the person, they're going to fall

450
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: in love. Like, why do you watch this crap if

451
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: you already know what's going to happen. And I'm like,

452
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: because it like makes you believe in the fairy tale,

453
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: and it makes you believe in love, and it makes

454
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: you want and be like, oh, it all will work

455
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: out in the end. It's like I know what happens

456
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: in the Titanic and it's not great, and I still

457
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: watch it and that doesn't make me feel as good

458
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: as the Hallmark movies. So I got soundtrack Love. Yeah,

459
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: my heart will go on so forever, ever and ever

460
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: and ever. But yeah, I'm excited and you and I

461
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: I'll have this to look forward to since we're not

462
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna be together for Christmas. We're going to celebrate Christmas

463
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 1: as a four top end group. A Steward, You'll love this.

464
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: So I was like panicking the day before Aaron was

465
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: going to leave where she is right now, and I

466
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: was like, I gotta get I said to Steve. I

467
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: was like, I got to get these presents wrapp and

468
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: I got to get them down to Aaron so she

469
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: can pack them and take them with her. And so

470
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: then finally I just text her. I was like, Hey,

471
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: I'm not going to rush this, and I'm just gonna

472
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: wait until you're back and we're gonna have Christmas together

473
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: where we can be in our jammy's and we can

474
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: have mimosas and open presence and it'll be great. So

475
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. That's gonna be my Christmas morning.

476
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: Don't take your tree down because I need to sit

477
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: on notuch in front of it. Fine, there's a headline

478
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: that our producer Ryan put together, just some stuff I

479
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: guess that's floating around, and it said put friendship on

480
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: the to do list, near the top. We're never taught

481
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: to prioritize friendship. We can't assume friendships just happen. We

482
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: have to take initiative. We have a tendency to prioritize

483
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: work and family while often neglecting friends or trying to

484
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: make new ones. I am now getting to the point

485
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: in my life where it is week seventeen, it's going

486
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: to be over. And then I reintroduced myself to my friends.

487
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: I've got my girls Jackie, Meghan, Heather, which I've been

488
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: a shitty friend to but they kind of give me

489
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: a passway football. Then you and I like, yeah, we

490
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: see each other. But like I need a weekly I

491
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: need a week at cocktail dinner, sitch, like I need

492
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: to get together. We also need a trip. I'm excited

493
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: for that. And right on that couch that's right behind you,

494
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: we have our little annual trips that we do together

495
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: that I'm looking forward to. But it's true and that

496
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: that is such a good point about prioritizing anything, whether

497
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: it's you know, friendship or a relationship or working out

498
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: or family like whatever it is. It's that that so

499
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: many times people say they want to do things, but

500
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: actually doing them is much different. So, yeah, you got

501
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: to put in work to anything that you want, because

502
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: we have it all figured out over here that obviously

503
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: you know what else I love to and we'll talk

504
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: about it more. Because I'm a big New Year's person.

505
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: I love I love it, yeah, and I just like

506
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: I actually do it more on my birthday. I do

507
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: like things that I want for myself for like the

508
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: upcoming year, instead of like these big, grand New Year's resolutions.

509
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: But I just like the feeling of bringing What a

510
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: privilege it is, and I'm not trying to be cheesy,

511
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: but what a privilege it is to welcome in another

512
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: year right where it's like a fresh start and you know,

513
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: you can kind of manifest what you want to have happened.

514
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: So I love New Year's. I love the old Lang Xine,

515
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: the song. I love the whole thing about all of that.

516
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: So I'm going to be at the ranch for New Years,

517
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: which I can't wait. I haven't been to the ranch

518
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: since our Chargers game because that was the last time

519
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: I could go up there, So I'm really looking forward

520
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: to getting up there and seeing all my animals. Oh,

521
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: one of my peacocks died. What No one of my dogs,

522
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: I found out got to the peacock because the peacocks

523
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: usually just stay in the area with the ducks and

524
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: the chickens, but peacocks can fly, and so I guess

525
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: the peacock flew out and one of the dogs thought

526
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: it was something to play with, which is I was

527
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: really upset about This is the part down. This is

528
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: the part about ranch life that I'm never going to

529
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: get used to. Every Where. It's like, I get it.

530
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: Their animals bless you and they're going to die and

531
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: not always you know from old age that like things

532
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: happen and it is the wild West out there. But

533
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: like I'm so sad. I'm like, that's hard, I know.

534
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: And then I think about this, like the other peacock,

535
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: Like they were babies together and they grew up together,

536
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: and it's like now it needs a friend. And you know,

537
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: Noah's arc. They had two of everything, and it's like,

538
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: now we need to get the peacock. And I don't know,

539
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: so like I don't know. I just I've got to

540
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: wrap my head around the fact that, like there's sadness

541
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: of the ranch too. Know. How's Lollie? Do you have
