00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: tops appropriate to wear on television for the hot games.

38
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: In the beginning part of this season, I start being like,

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: where's my raincoat? Has anyone seen my raincoat? Did I

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: bring it? Do you want to know an unbelievable story

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: about my rain gear. I probably have never told you

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: speaking of football. So guys, I'll just let you in

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: on a little secret. I have a bag on each truck.

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: We have a Thursday night football truck, and then we

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: have a Sunday truck. I keep a bag on each

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: truck and it's got my rainpants, my rain jacket, and

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I go. And if you've ever seen me work a

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: rain game like I fell, I love. I play the

49
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: part like I do. I go baseball. Have I put

50
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: my you know, extensions in a braid. I've got the raincoat,

51
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: I've got the rain boots. I am like ready, I

52
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: look like an official half the time. So I keep

53
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: that tucked away, sarah. Um and uh so if I

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: ever need it, obviously we grab it. Well one season

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: wasn't last year, maybe it was the two year before. Um.

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: We always have to have our own food down on

57
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: the sidelines. There's no time to really have a meal,

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: but I always like to do like a peanut butter

59
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: and jelly sandwich or do some sort of bar And

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I love our crew. They're so wonderful before we get

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: to the game, because we're at the game like twelve

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: hours before. That's an exaggeration, but it feels like it. Yeah,

63
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: tell people at home, because I think they actually will

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: find this interesting. So if you have a four o'clock kick,

65

91
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: was pouring sideways. It wasn't cold enough yet for it

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: to turn into snow, but it was so freaking cold

93
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: you couldn't stay warm. My notes were a mess, like

94
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: it was a blowout. But before that, I went to

95
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: go get my gear. I opened it up, and I'm like,

96
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,600

97
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: turkey and cheddar cheese sandwich had been in my back.

98
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: The amount of hold on it and it was all

99
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: in my rain gear was on. It was next level,

100
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: next level rose holy sixteen weeks and it was like

101
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: a hairy, gray and green fungus that was growing on

102
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: my rain pants and growing on my rain jacket. It

103
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: was did you throw it all away? I threw the

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: whole bag away, Okay. Then I'm gonna I'm gonna tell

105
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: you another story then, which you're better than I am.

106
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: I had mice up at the lake and they went

107
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: to the bathroom all over this blanket. But the pictures

108
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: I remember when I sent you that. Since got an

109
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: exterminator because there was I was doing construction and I

110
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: hate the contractor that did it the worst. He left

111
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: the door open and it was mice. I took that

112
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: blanket to the dry cleaner three times. I still use it.

113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: I still use it. I couldn't get rid of it.

114
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: That's okay. That gross. No, you got this stuff out right,

115
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: You got all their little droppings out. I mean, there's

116
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: nothing on it, but it's kind of I mean in

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: when I'm saying it out loud, like there was mouse

118
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: ship all over the blanket. And I still used the blanket.

119
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Like that sounds terrible. But so when you're cuddling up

120
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: yourself in that blanket, you don't think of little rodents

121
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: like legs and tails all over you, Like, no, I don't.

122
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: But now I'm thinking about it, and I was like,

123
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just love the blanket. I didn't

124
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: want to throw it away, but um, good for you.

125
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Good for you for getting rid of that. Can you

126
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: imagine if you got some like staff infection from your

127
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: turkey sandwich on your rain gear. No, but I got

128
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: enough respiratory infection after that game because it was so calm.

129
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. I sat there the offensive line.

130
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: I could not keep my hands warm because it was

131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: freezing out, and then my gloves were getting wet that

132
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, all the guys were like hanging out in

133
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: front of that like heater or thing, and one of

134
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: the old lineman I don't know who they were for

135
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: the cowboys just grabbed my gloves and he just laid

136
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: it on the heater. I was like, thank you. You

137
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: know what I always loved when I was covering hockey,

138
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: and you know this better than anyone being married to,

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: uh former hockey player. The gloves on those heat you

140
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: want to talk about a bad smell, I would have

141
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: to stand outside because during intermissions when you did your

142
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: interviews with the players, um, and those gloves stunk so bad?

143
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: What is the deal? Can we ask Jarrett why I

144
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: love him? I know it's sweat, but how is that

145
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: to be different than any other It soaks into the equipment.

146
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll get grosser than gross on that not

147
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: only does their gloves smell, but like I've literally driven

148
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: home from with him from a game and I'm like,

149
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: fucking smells in here his hands, like they would absorb

150
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: this stink from wearing the gloves, so his hands would smell.

151
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: Let's go one step further. I mean, you know not,

152
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: why wouldn't we jaredt will love this. I mean my husband,

153
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: I love him. He's got a hairy chest. I mean

154
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, at night you cuttle up and you're like,

155
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: oh my god, like do you have your jersey on? Still,

156
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: Like it's just what happens, like the funk gets in

157
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: a man. But he's right about this. He does say

158
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: like there I remember not a lie when I was

159
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: covering um and my dad talked about it in the

160
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: podcast we did the Stanley Cup Finals. God love him.

161
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: I forgot the player I was been may have been

162
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: Kipper so Off. I was doing like an interview with

163
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 1: after morning Skate his pants like the pads were hanging

164
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: right there, Crissa. I started dry heaving in the middle

165
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: of the interview, like no, because it was so bad

166
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: to get that. But Jared has said, like obviously, like

167
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: the clean that they do, like the training staff, um,

168
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: the equipment trainers, like they've done such a good job

169
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: that it's not like that anymore. But it's the worst

170
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: smelling locker room you can imagine, the worst tough Well.

171
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: A woman that knows about bad smelling locker rooms is

172
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: Lori local. She is going to join us in a

173
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: little while. Man. But it's easy. I bet you. Jared's like, Okay,

174
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't care how bad it smells when you're hoisting

175
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup trophy two times or for her the Lombardi.

176
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: The smell of victory is much sweeter, I will tell you, though.

177
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: That's still one. I mean, I was so excited being

178
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: on the ice and it was his second one, and

179
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: it was such a crazy grueling playoff for them. They

180
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: had so many Game sevens in the series. But you

181
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: go to hug them and they're soaking wet and they

182
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: just smell like bo and you're like, yea, do they

183
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: roll the mat? They roll the mats up right, You're

184
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: not like walking out onto the ice. Oh no, we're

185
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: on the ice. How are you afraid the ice? Well?

186
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't gonna wear heels. There were some

187
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: girls obviously those were two times Stanley Cup winners. But

188
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I've worked the playoffs before. We had to

189
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: walk on the ice, but I think I wore a

190
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: low boot that night with my Stella McCartney neutral beige blazer.

191
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: This is so interesting. Wait, this is so interesting because

192
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, if they win, that I'm gonna

193
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: be photographed in this outfit. And you gotta like the

194
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: Outphit is that what we're doing here. You want to

195
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: know what we did after Game three in New York,

196
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: Megan Mitchell, you're getting some love right now. Game three,

197
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: the Kings for and hand it to the Rangers, and

198

205
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: they do. I have some great stories of girls just

206
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: talking about how they were walking out onto the ice.

207
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: One of my girlfriends, she said, not that year, but

208
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: a year before she's pregnant, and she's trying to walk

209
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: her little kid out on the ice as she's pregnant

210
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: to go see her husband and her mother in law

211
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: just motoror over to try to get to her son.

212
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: And she's like, don't mind me holding your grandkid and

213
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: my your future grandkids. You're mowing me over trying to

214
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: get to your son. I was like, I wasn't hurrying

215
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: at all out there. I was. I remember watching Jackie

216
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: quick dancing around. She her baby in her arms, going

217
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: to Quickie And why is you worried about falling? I'm everybody.

218
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I will have to tell Jared for

219
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: the Calm Down podcast. I g which, by the way,

220
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: check it out. Don't you like that? How I put

221
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: that in right? You got to check it out. There

222
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: is footage from that night when we're all on the ice.

223
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Someone wiped the hell out. I don't know if it

224
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: was a girlfriend or maybe a news reporter, but they

225
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: wiped the hell out. We've got to find it. You

226
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: got to find it. And as your dad so sweetly

227
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: retold the story last week about me eating ship at

228
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: your wedding off the Ottoman, oh my god, you did.

229
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: I would bet all the money I don't have on

230
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: me eating ship on the ice. In fact, if I

231
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: was going out for a celebratory thing, I never had

232
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: to go out onto the ice for interviews. But there's

233
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: no chance that I would make it out alive, for sure.

234
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: You do kind of like a poopy pants shuffle, like

235
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: you have a diaper full of the more Jackson, is

236
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: that you? But you do you like have to shuffle

237
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: your feet, dude, there's no way he didn't have to

238
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: take a ship. Oh god, I don't know. I said

239
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: that to him. I go pro. You know what it

240
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: looked like, because I had to interview him like like

241
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: two weeks after that. You know what it looked like.

242
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't that I was like bullshit, It

243
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: wasn't that. We all know what it's like when you

244
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: have to get there fast. I paid my pants on

245
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: the field. But that's another story. You know, you've realized

246
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: what we've covered in just one segment. Mouse shit, yeah

247
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: bo and crapping your pants and paying your pants, I mean,

248
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: all in all, it's a great day. I've never crapped

249
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: my pants. I do know someone that has well, like home,

250
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's where you should go

251
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: to the bathroom home or stay home if you know. Yeah, well,

252
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: I mean we all could, we all could hope, right, America.

253
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: But more importantly, I've only peed my pants in an

254
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: inebriated situation. I need to know why you peed your

255
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: pants on the field, but we're gonna use that for

256
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: next podcast. I'm gonna tell you right now, you're also

277
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,640

Speaker 1: by the way, after that super Bowl we got on

281
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: the phone. It was CHRISA that called me first. We

282
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: were walking the dog and we were just I think

283
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: we talked for about three hours after the super Bowl

284
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: and Chris I was like, I just this was unbelievable.

285
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: The next morning, forget about you, Lorie, it's more about us.

286
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: We were in our Chammy's watching the highlights and watching

287
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: and I couldn't wait for the mic dup. And the

288
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: mic dup was one of the best things. And that

289
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: is where we saw goose bumps. The exchange with you

290
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: and JPP, and every time I talk about it to people,

291
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: I just choke up, and because so many things, and

292
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: obviously the one that we can all relate to is

293
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: that we are women. And the one thing in my

294
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: career that I just wanted validation from those guys that play,

295
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: those coaches on the sidelines, those gms that are in

296
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: those press boxes, and to see that man embrace you

297
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: the way he did. Oh like, just knock it off.

298
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: Knock it off. I found you on on Instagram. I

306
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: seen you guys, have watched you guys well before you know.

307
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: I've gotten to this level. So please understand, like what

308
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: you do and how you do it speaks more to

309
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: two more women than you know, because that's like you said,

310
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a validation, but it's also leading by

311
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: example where we know what the knockis. Sometimes for women

312
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: in sports, and when you do it the right way

313
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: and you have the right reputation and your work ethics

314
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: speaks for you before you even get into a room. Yeah,

315
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: there's no better so to be affiliated with you guys

316
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: and to sit here and talk to you. It's really

317
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: like I just I was so exciting, so well or

318
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: even more humbled by by that. Hell no, I know

319
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: that you were hired by the Bucks in two thousand nineteen,

320
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: you became the first female position coach in the NFL,

321
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: and and I, you know, just reading a little bit

322
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: about where you came from the fact you played and

323
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: so forth, I'm curious to know with you and Chris,

324
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if you feel the same way for me.

325
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: It was never about I'm a woman. I'm different. I

326
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: just want to fit in. I just want the guys

327
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: to respect me. I want them to know I am

328
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: obsessed with the game. I have so many questions. Do

329
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: you get hired of sharing things like the first female

330
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: position coach in the NFL. I know you're proud of it,

331
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: but how much is it just like, Okay, let's move on.

332
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: I just want to fit in. Yeah, I mean, I definitely,

333
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't do a lot of like self

334
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: reflection where like stuff like that like becomes markers. So

335
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: I think that huge honor, right, But I never, like

336
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: you said, I never set out to be that, or

337
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: to have a title or you know, to rip and

338
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: run with this flag of being the first or whatever.

339
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: In my mind, it's not just getting here, it's staying

340
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: here and love it, making an impact, being you know,

341
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: viable to the organization, helping the team win, helping the

342
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: players get better, still continuing to learn as a coach.

343
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not It wasn't ever like my end

344
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: goal to just be the first and be like, Okay,

345
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: that's it now, I'm done, you know what I mean

346
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: and kind of fall back on laurels and try and

347
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: make a career out of it. Yeah. I don't ever

348
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: think in those terms. So sometimes when I get to

349
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: ask that question, I have to think about it and

350
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: it kind of takes me like off kilter because I'm like, oh, yeah, okay, yeah,

351
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: that's what it was. But that's never been my motivation

352
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: as far as like coaching. We're you know, just being

353
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: part of a staff at all. Just want to keep rolling.

354
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: I've been very blessed to get my first extension with

355
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: the Bucks. So hopefully that's you know, a good yeah

356
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: right right to the rest of the people out there

357
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm with them and I'm blessed and

358
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: we're looking to turn it around. I don't want to say,

359
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: run it back. That was Kansas Cities, right, go for two?

360
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: What are the bus saying? What are you guys saying

361
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: it camp? What's going to be yours? I don't know

362
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: what the catchphrases yet, I've heard, you know, go for two,

363
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: you know whatever. I'm sure somebody'll come up with something

364
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: A lot that year then that LORI. I um am

365
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: employed by Fox but I'm also employed by Fox Bet,

366
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: which is a wagering platform. In our wagering world we

367
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: call double down. So I'm going to say, for the box,

368
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: you guys are doubling down on your money because you're

369
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: that confident in what you're doing. I I just have

370
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: to I mean, again, there's so many things I want

371
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: to ask you, but I just gotta, uh know, having

372
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: a front row scene to what you guys did this year.

373
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, of course Tom Brady comes back all of that,

374
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: but man, Tom's not a dumb man. He came to

375
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: Tampa because that dea. So what was it like for you?

376
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: And to just know that this it was so I

377
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: mean like I literally have goose bumps everywhere, talk like

378
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: just I'm not was I'm from Seattle. I mean jeez,

379
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm like trading like you know, turning on my hometown.

380
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: But I like winners, Lorie and watching this um from Afar.

381
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: I can only imagine the emotion um for you. Can

382
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: you describe it at all? What this was like? Yeah? So, um,

383
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: if you think about when we all came in, uh

384
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: initially and the year that we had the first year,

385
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: we knew that we had the talent base, We knew

386
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: that we had the scheme, but there was a culture

387
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: shift that needed to happen. And be As certainly drove

388
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: that culture change, but then Tom seemed to be the

389
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: missing piece for it. Right. So it's not that anybody

390
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: totally changed in the defense. Obviously, you know, we pick

391
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: up other people, but the building had this lift when

392
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: he came in, and you know, they talked about it

393
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: being the Brady effect, and I have to tell you

394
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: that that's true. And it's not that the guys got better,

395
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: because they were very good. It's just we had another

396
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: year in the system. We had a professional come in

397
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: who was a leader, who was a quiet leader, who

398
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: was a champion in his own right, and it just

399
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: was the right missing piece to the puzzle for everybody

400
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: to be like, you know what, we're gonna be contenders,

401
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: Like we can play at the level, we can dominate games.

402
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: And the thing looking back is on a daily basis,

403
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis, on a game by game basis,

404
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: you're so locked in two, I have my opponent in

405
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: front of me, and you can celebrate for about five

406
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: minutes after that game, But like on that plane ride

407
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: home on breaking film down because we have to get

408
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: ready for the next opponent, probably by midday on Monday,

409
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: So there's this constant churn of one gets put to bed,

410
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: and meanwhile, as that one's coming up, you're already preparing

411
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: for the next opponents. So there's never really time where

412
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: you sit back and you're like wow, like you know

413
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: we're doing great, and you know we really dominated that game.

414
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Because you can always find things to work on and

415
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: you can always find things to find tune. So it

416
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: wasn't until the like the minutes after the super Bowl

417
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: and I know that I know Aaron's follow a picture.

418
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the picture and my

419
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: son and I collide laying on the turf m but

420
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of like when it hit. You know, we're exhausted,

421
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: were the COVID restrictions just everything like hit. That's when

422
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: the emotions hit, more so than during the year, because

423
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: you're just you're you're so wrote, you're so repetitive in

424
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: your preparation. There's really no time to allow that kind

425
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: of stuff to filter in because it can break focus,

426
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: and and that's something that we just try so hard

427
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: not to have happened. My last question on Tom um

428
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: I remember talking to Sue this past year JPP interviewing

429
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: Shack Barrett, and one thing Troy Aikman and I had

430
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: said after we saw you guys win in the NFC

431
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: Championship game was the defense. The first thing they said

432
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: was we we found that missing piece to the puzzle.

433
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: And they always were so great and complimenting him, and

434
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: and Troy had mentioned to me, you know a lot

435
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: of times guys could be like, all right, come on,

436
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: I am so freaking sick of talking about Tom Brady,

437
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: but that just shows the respect. I'm curious how somebody

438
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: like him was able to come over and relate to

439
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: the defense because he's got to figure out his toys

440
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: over here on the offense, Like how is he getting?

441
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: And those are some strong personalities on the defense that

442
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: Chris and I adore. But how did he? I mean, yes,

443
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: I get it, he's number twelve, he's walking in the building.

444
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: But it was never like it's like, oh my god,

445
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: it's Tom Brady in our locker room. It's like that's

446
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: our boy Tom. You know we're going for he's going

447
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: for seven. How was that? How did that you see

448
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: that unfold? I think it was really organic. I don't

449
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: think that there was really anything marked like he sat

450
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: down and had a power out with him, you know

451
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. But I think that when you talk

452
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: about like somebody like Sue, who's the ultimate professional and

453
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: everything that he does, when he saw now the leader

454
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: of our offense be in that same mindset being that

455
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: type of championship sort of mentality like all the time,

456
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: I think it's really let those guys say, you know it,

457
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: he's okay, and we're going to stand behind him and

458
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna take care of our side of the ball

459
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: because we want to give the ball back to him.

460
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Like every time we were on the field, that was

461
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: the main intent. We want to get the ball back

462
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: to the offense. So I think just by again a

463
00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: mutual respect the careers, obviously some of them had crossed over. Um,

464
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: it just was a natural fit bit. I don't think

465
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: anybody could have realized until it actually happened. And he

466
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: was in the locker room. So cool, you know, Lauria.

467
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: We were doing a Fox Watch party and Terry Bradshaw

468
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: was on, coach Jimmy Johnson, Marshawn Lynch and then at

469
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: the end Ray Lewis came on and so at this

470
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: point it was a foregone conclusion that you guys were

471
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl. And I asked Ray, I said,

472
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: you know what makes Tom Brady so great? And this

473
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: will always stick out to me. He said, Tom Brady

474
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: is great, but greatness is making everyone else around you better.

475
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: And he said, that's what Tom does. And I found

476
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: it to be such an interesting to Aaron's point. When

477
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: that defense knows that we can get the ball back

478
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: into the hands of the man that's going to get

479
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: the job done, and then it's easy to to be

480
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: humbled by that, and so I can I can only

481
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: imagine how much fun this run was for you. But

482
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: as you you know, previously mentioned, it's not over right,

483
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: It's not enough to just have that and I love

484
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's It's why you play the game, right,

485
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: is to win and to keep going. Sort of, how

486
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: do you rally your group now here in the off

487
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: season to turn your your attention forward and celebrate the victory,

488
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: of course, but turn your attention forward. I think it's uh,

489
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: I think it's I don't even want to say that

490
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: it's easy because again, going back to the very first year, right,

491
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: we knew we were out of contention for any type

492
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: of playoffs, and there was something about the young guys

493
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: enthusiasm to still really want to play the game right,

494
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: which stuck out because I'm not at this level obviously,

495
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: but like at lower levels, sometimes you know, when you're

496
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: out of it, some guys check out and they're just

497
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, they're going through the motions,

498
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: they're just not really engaged in the process. Whatever happens happens.

499
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: They just want to get the season over with. It

500
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: was never like that for the young guys, and that's

501
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: stuck out to me because that's different, that's special. So

502
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: now we go through this season, the young guys are

503
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: still learning, the young guys are still there's so much

504
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: upside and up to that you're going to see from

505
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: our defense. With the young guys having a third year

506
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: in this system that yeah, and um, they can't wait

507
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: to get back onto the fields and start to play again.

508
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: So in everybody's mind, it's not really you know, oh,

509
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: we're super Bowl champs. You know, we're this and we're that.

510
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: That's kind of like, it's it's great, it's it's a

511
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: dream come true. But that's been put to bed for

512
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: all of us. Um and I think be a slept

513
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: the tone pretty well too. He's like, you know, we're

514
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: not going to be complacent. We're going to go out

515
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: and work, and by treating them in the manner that

516
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: they've always been treated at this stage of our season,

517
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: it's just really a clear message like, Okay, that was great.

518
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: Now you know what do we do this year? And

519
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: the guys have already brought into that, so I don't

520
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: know that we're really gonna have to amp them up

521
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: anymore than we are. We are, and like we talked

522
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: about with the crowds being allowed back this season. Um,

523
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a whole other aspect for them.

524
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: That's just gonna set them, you know, through the roof.

525
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait, and they can either. I have two questions. One,

526
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: now that all the fans are coming back, I wonder

527
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: how many new best friends you have and how they're

528
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: all for tickets. And then my my second question, it

529
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: kind of just your your startup with be a Bruce arians.

530
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: There's no cooler cat out there. Win or lose your booze. Yes,

531
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: please write Chris at just the opportunity he gave you

532
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: and what that means to you, and and you know

533
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: how you'll always hold him up because of it, and

534
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: just you know, getting into the NFL because it be

535
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: a yeah, no, no doubt. First on the ticket thing,

536
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: everybody already knows. Don't ask me, don't don't you know,

537
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: don't don't want to be with your feelings hurt, don't

538
00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: only ask me for tickets, And yeah, be a uh it,

539
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: you're right, there's there's really nobody like him. And to

540
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: have um, to have him, have the staff that we do,

541
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: to have the connections and the loyalty, be so important

542
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: to him and to be a part of that is

543
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 1: mind blowing. You know. Obviously, my my days with him

544
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: go back to Temple when he first started teaching, UM

545
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: coach my ex husband. Yeah, there's a couple of guys

546
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: on staff that were fellow teammates of my ex husband

547
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: and one of our position coaches was his position coach

548
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: a Temple. So there's a lot of ties to this staff.

549
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: But the people that be A surrounds himself with he

550
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: knows and he knows that they can do the job,

551
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: and he trusts them to do it. And the autonomy

552
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: in the building, what he allows Todd to do, what

553
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: he allows Byron to do, that's second to none too.

554
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: So it's not even just you know, giving me, giving

555
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: MJ you know, a start in the NFL, but it's

556
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: looking past with the packaging looks like and looking at

557
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: the promise and the potential and the chemistry on staff.

558
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't like the word chemistry. I still say chemistry. Um,

559
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: but how why doesn't he like the word chemistry. I'm

560
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: not really sure, but I think he thinks that it's

561
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: just you know it, it's a working model, not just

562
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: something you know that just I don't know. I think

563
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: that's one of those words he doesn't like. I'm not

564
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: sure why we're gonna ask. He's like, I don't like

565
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: the word chemistry, but I think that it's just he

566
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: understands that it doesn't have to look perfect to get

567
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: perfect results. And I think that we're just, you know,

568
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: we're an example of that bit. Man. It works, It

569
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: really works. He might not like the word chemistry, but

570
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: he likes the word culture. You had a fantastic article

571
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: in the USA today and there was a great paragraph

572
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: that I've found so important in Erin with your affinity

573
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: to Alabama. Be A had mentioned the story that legendary

574
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: Alabama coach Beart Bryant had told him that it's so

575
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: important in building that culture within the locker room, getting

576
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: everybody to buy in. And it says how he told

577
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: I'd rather hear it from you than than read the

578
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: article back. But you know he talked about how he

579
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: told you to be yourself. Could you replay a little

580
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: bit of that conversation when he brought you into this building.

581
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: Albeit you guys had history, but now at at this

582
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: next level, sure, I'll take you back a little bit

583
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: further than that when I was working in Birmingham with

584
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: the Iron and had gotten my resume in front of

585
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: b A and got an email back about ten minutes

586
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: later to say, you know, I'll get I'll be in touch,

587
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, which would have been enough right then, but

588
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: I was UM. I was waiting to pick up something

589
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: at like a local store, and I got a phone

590
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: call and I didn't recognize the number, so it didn't

591
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: look like a Florida number, so I did n't pick

592
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: it up and it was b A And I called

593
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: him back and we had a ten minute conversation and

594
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: it was just basically that it was like, you know,

595
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: I don't want you coming in for media attention, no problem,

596
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 1: not me, never has been. I want you to, you know,

597
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: learn as much as you can. I don't want you

598
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: to filter who you are UM, and I want you

599
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: to feel like you're comfortable enough to be able to

600
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: add in when you can and learn as much as

601
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: you can. And I'd like you to come work for me.

602
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: Perfect check done. Sometimes he's a man of little words,

603
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: but he says a lot. And having Casey as a

604
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: mentor working for Todd, you know, I do have a

605
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: tendency to kind of lay back a little bit in

606
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: coaching style, whereas like at the lower levels, like an

607
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: arena or in semi pro, I was a lot more

608
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: um involved and engaged sometimes, but I recognize the opportunity

609
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: that's here to be mentored and to learn because I'm

610
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: now part of Ba's extended coaching tree, I'm part of

611
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: Todd's coaching tree, I'm part of Casey's coaching tree. And

612
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: when not if this staffs are to go in directions,

613
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: because that's how this industry is, I want to position

614
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: myself in a manner that they're gonna be like, yeah,

615
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: Low can do the job, will take her with us,

616
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: or Low can do the job, will recommend her somewhere else.

617
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: So he knew that, you know, the only way you

618
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: succeed is being authentic um and just really kind of

619
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: like working hard and putting your nose down. And that's

620
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: what I've been able to do with this staff and

621
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: it's been great. Low. What is your dream job more

622
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: than this? Right now? We'll be back with more Calm

623
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: Down podcast right after this, Low, what is your dream job?

624
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: What do you look to as being mean all be

625
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: all for you more than this right now? Yeah, let's

626
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: see what's the goal. Yeah, I mean I think that

627
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: if you're talking like short term goal, um, just to

628
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: stay employed in the league, and uh, long term, I

629
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: mean I'd love to have my own D line room someday,

630
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: um and be one of those defenses that we're talking

631
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: about right now, and have those athletes that we're talking

632
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: about right now and dominate offenses like we're talking about

633
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: right now. Beyond that, you know it, it's just it's

634
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: almost too much to like, you know, talk about because

635
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: it's uncharted territory right. I don't know how far I

636
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: can go, but I'm certainly open to all opportunities. But

637
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: I think in my mind, the D line room or

638
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: a backer's room or something like that would be an

639
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: amazing feat to have. Beyond that, you know, we'll we'll

640
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: let it ride out. But the most important thing is

641
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: to stay here enough and long enough to uh to

642
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: see anything on the next level happen. Well, Well, there's

643
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: you know it. It remains to be seen where you go,

644
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: but we know where you've been. And for those that

645
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: are new to your story, would you mind giving a

646
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: little background in an overview because this doesn't just happen, Um,

647
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: you don't end up in the NFL. UM the way

648
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: that you have without a probably many detours along the way.

649
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: So how would you summarize your ascension to this position

650
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: by um? So Aaron mentioned I've played. So I started

651
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: playing full contact football in Harrisburg when I was just

652
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: about to turn forty. UM raised the two boys, Um,

653
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: that were pretty small at the time, and working full time.

654
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: What did you do? What were you doing that you

655
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: were working full time? I am an insurance geek really

656
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: to the Oh my god, I've been looking at all

657
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: of my premium So we can just talk about that offline,

658
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: I am. I can talk to you about liability, workers,

659
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: comp insurance, car insurance. I got it. Um, she does

660
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: it all. Yeah, So that was like sales, marketing, underwriting.

661
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: So a lot of those skills actually have come back

662
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: into play and some of the coaching things so we

663
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: have to do. So that's that was a plus. But

664
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: I I heard really bad with my knee and then

665
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: started coaching the women's team because I didn't want to

666
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: be away from the game. So coached there for a

667
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: couple of years, and then I went to high school level,

668
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: and I was at the high school level for nine

669
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: years at Susquehanna Township. From there, I did Men's semi

670
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: pro in Harrisburg and in Virginia, and that was a

671
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: culmination of probably five or six years. I did Men's

672
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: Arena for three years. I did showcase teams in Canada

673
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: and Philly and Florida, and then went to Baltimore to

674
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens on the Walsh Internship Program and then Birmingham

675
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: Iron and then now with Tampa. What was the hardest

676
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: point in this journey getting here to Tampa? What what

677
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: do you remember where you were like, maybe not on

678
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: the ground being dramatic like me reenacting a video music

679
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: video in my head, but just like where you're like, oh,

680
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: come on, it's like really this is hard. Yeah. Yeah.

681
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I think always trying to balance it out when the

682
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: kids were little bit, I never wanted to do the

683
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: semi thing that they had, and they never wanted to

684
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: take away from anything that they wanted to do because

685
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: of this, right, because it was always on the fringe.

686
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: I always had to work. I always had to make

687
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: sure that they were taken care of. I think what

688
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: happened where it was like the lowest is that the

689
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: job that I had at a media group no names mentioned. Um,

690
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: when I got the Baltimore internship, the internship obviously, you know,

691
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: was six weeks and no job really should keep you on.

692
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: But I was hoping because it was a sales position,

693
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: they would at least let me work up to the

694
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: time and then come back afterwards. Well, they fired me

695
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: three weeks before I went. So I went to Baltimore

696
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: with no job, no benefits, no source of income. When

697
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: I came back, I just started to like immediately go

698
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: and survival mode. I got out of the apartment that

699
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: I was in. I moved into a friend of a

700
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: friend's house to house sit. I sold like all of

701
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: my furniture, everything that I could think of to get

702
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: rid of. And that's when I worked in the pet

703
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: food warehouse and I walked dogs and it was just

704
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: dream Yeah. Really the smell was amazing. Um. Yeah, that

705
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: was at a time when my older son's already you know, established,

706
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: he's out in California, he's doing his thing. But my

707
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 1: younger son was still in college and I was paying

708
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: for his tuition out of pocket. And it was like

709
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 1: a crossroad, right, So it was either like I either

710
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: had to try and make it work or I was

711
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: going to have to go back to work and just

712
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: put it to the side. Like you said, like sometimes

713
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: I always think like your path is never straight. You

714
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: do have to go off the path and then you

715
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: have to find your way back. You have to work

716
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: your way back to it. And it's not like I

717
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: hadn't done it before. I was prepared to do it again,

718
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: but it just that was a pretty low point because

719
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, like as a mom, to not be able

720
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: to provide that was the worst feeling. And I was

721
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: getting to that point where I wasn't If it was

722
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: just me, it would have been okay, like, look, I

723
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: can do without almost anything. For them, that was wicked.

724
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: So and in about that time, a former player called

725
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: to talk to me about how my experience was in Baltimore,

726
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: and I was telling him, you know, some of the

727
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: stuff that was going on. It was cool that he

728
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: called because you know, it's nice when, like you said,

729
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: you have the respected the guys and they're calling, you know,

730
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: to check in on their coach. And I had a

731
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: friend that I had met who was the d lin

732
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: coach at Dartmouth UM at a convention that I drove to.

733
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: Another long story about you know, sleeping in the car

734
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: to try and get to a conference in Carolina, but

735
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: he had invited me to go up to Dartmouth and

736
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: it was like I didn't have the money, right, I

737
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: either paid for gas and do a couple of things,

738
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: or I made this trip to Dartmouth. And the guy

739
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, He's like, you always helped me.

740
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: He's like, you always leave me twenty dollars for gas

741
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: or for food, and he then mowed me a little

742
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: lump some money so I could go to Dartmouth and

743
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: just be around football. And it was just like I

744
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: was like, okay, Universe, I got it. We're gonna go

745
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: full speed ahead. And um, from there, I got the

746
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: call to go to Birmingham and then the rest of

747
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: it started to just really pick up speeds while I

748
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: got here. Laurie, I don't think it's a coincidence that

749
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: you work in a sport that's all about team. You know,

750
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: where you've had to lean on people throughout your journey.

751
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: But it is a one collective, one collective team, right,

752
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: It's not a single individual sport. Um. I could go

753
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: on and on and on, and I know you have

754
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: other things to do, so we'll let you go soon.

755
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: But I just I'd be remissed if I didn't ask

756
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: you where the love of football? That's good. My mind's

757
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: from my father. Erin's is of course from her father

758
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: as well. Where did your love of football come from?

759
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: You know what? I have no idea one. My family

760
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: was really into football, like my mom and her ste

761
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: the family would watch the Redskins because that's where she

762
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: was born and she grew up. My dad was a

763
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: golfer like to my left. The US opens on right

764
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: now as we've just been checking this stuff all day.

765
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: But yeah, nobody else. I just remember the family used

766
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: to go to Lake Thanksgiving Day games. There was a

767
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: big city rivalry back in Harrisburg, and then we'd go

768
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: home and eat. That was like the tradition on Thanksgiving.

769
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: But I was five years old and I was watching

770
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: TV and the Steelers were on and they were terrible,

771
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: and there was just something about it that caught my

772
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: eye and I have not looked back and unabashedly have

773
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: been a Steelers fan for fifty two years now. And

774
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: just remember like all of the games. I mean, obviously

775
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: you know how old I am. I Like I saw

776
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: the Immaculate Reception game. I was watching that game, so

777
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: to just have the ability to go back into like

778
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: the football like grimy great like time when you know

779
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: it was probably terrible sort of players, but it was

780
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: great for fans. That's where it started, and it just

781
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: it never left me. Played in the backyard with the guys,

782
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: traded the cards with, you know, the neighborhood boys. I mean,

783
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: it was just always a part of we're around me.

784
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: And then when I got to play, just kind of

785
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: reignited a different kind of love for the game, and

786
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: then it took off from there. Yeah. Well, I mean,

787
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: you no wonder you're on the defensive side of the ball,

788
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: the steel hurtings. Come on. Now, have you met r

00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: represents me, like, read that book. But you know what, listen,

817
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: I wish I was as worldly to be able to

818
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 1: tell you like, this is the last book that I read,

819
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: and I just I don't it's really awful. And you

820
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: don't know breaking down films. No, I should use this

821
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: time to do stuff like that. But um so there's

822
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: two things. What I will tell you is that with

823
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,479
Speaker 1: the new house and Christy you'll love this. I'm trying

824
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: to decorate it myself. So I listen woman Instagram room,

825
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: I'll help you is but so listen. So I'm trying

826
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: to force a color scheme into like a house that

827
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: does not support this color scheme. So we can tell Laurie,

828
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: why are you trying to play a four three defense

829
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: when you're a three four scheme? What are we doing

830
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: your stay in the colors? No, it will break this

831
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: down in a language you can understand. Let's not force it.

832
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: You know what, what's the color scheme you want? So okay,

833
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: So this is the other thing. I'm kind of like

834
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: all over the board. I think you'll understand this. It's

835
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: a combo Mediterranean coastal farmhouse. WHOA, there you go. That's

836
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: not that far off. That's not that far off. Mediterranean

837
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: and coastal can go. We can go Italian coast with

838
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: the Mediterranean and coastal, so that's fine, and then we

839
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: can bring in some wood elements for the farmhouse. When

840
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: we get off here, I'm gonna get all the pictures

841
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 1: from you and I'll help you put it all together.

842
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: I come to your house and build it up for

843
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: his reality show. We're talking there we go. That's the

844
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: thing I'm happy to help is. I do a lot

845
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,600

Speaker 1: daily and it's usually while dog like super early in

848
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: the morning. It's just you know, taking in you know

849
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: the area. It's so pretty down here, and um, just

Speaker 1: of put everything in perspective. You guys are are being, um,

854
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: very zen and very positive. I'm gonna be petty for

855
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: a second. Who you don't have to maybe you don't

856
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: have to name names if you don't want to, but

857
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: who's someone on your path to your position? Now? That

858
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: was like that ain't never gonna happen, and that when

859
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: you sat there with that Lombardi Trophy. You thought to yourself,

860
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: you know what I did it like I just like

861
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to name names, so you don't have

862
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: to name names. There's been a few. There's been a few, sure,

863
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: um you know, and I thought about like un following them,

864
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: but then I thought it's better for me to let

865
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: them see all this stuff now that they'll never get

866
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: to if I'm going to be a little bit pretty um,

867
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, on the back side of it. And I know,

868
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: like I've told like, um, you know, the women at

869
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: the forum. There's a lot of times where you have

870
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: to make a marked decision to carve people out of

871
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: your life that really don't bring you told me this, Yeah,

872
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: and then you have to be okay knowing that you're

873
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 1: going to be cordial with that person, but you don't

874
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: ever ever have to give them any energy ever again.

875
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: And it's okay, and you can move forward and you

00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: about with JPP and Crissa doing this interview. He bet

914
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: on himself when he left New York. It was like,

915
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm watch me, I'm going too bad on myself and

916
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: respect to him, and he has been through so much

917
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: and I just think the way he's handled it has

918
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: been just so classy. I think I was, I know,

919
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: I was crying to Cursity yesterday just talking about his story.

920
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: He's just somebody I'm just so happy I got to cover.

921
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: And it's just a great, great guy. Yeah, yeah, he is.

922
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 1: He is that people gave him a chance, you know

923
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: what I mean, they'd have the same type of feeling

924
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: about him instead of just kind of taking some of

925
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: the past into a cap. But yeah, yeah we will.

926
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 1: We will end this incredible time with you with for

927
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,080

928
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: your job? Just getting to go to one Buck every day,

929
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: being around the guys. Yeah, it's just all of it.

930
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: It's all of it. Just been able to wake up

931
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,600

932
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: incredible gift. So that's the best part of it. Can

933
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: we laugh about one thing with being a woman in

934
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: this industry? And I do know that you want to

935
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: get male dominated out of the conversation, which I like.

936
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: But I always tell people one of the best parts

937
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: of my job, besides having the best seat in the house,

938
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,600

00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: about that. And like a lot of friends when we travel,
