It always appears, and I'm gonna tell you 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: it ain't a top shelf.

We have so many things to discuss with you, Renee. 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: I have known you for how many years? A lot 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: of years? What I want? A lot of years. That's 14 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: a really great way to summarize our relationship. You are 15 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: You no longer live in Las Vegas. You moved to Cincinnati. 16 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: Your mom. You are a you wrote a cookbook. I 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: can't even cook. You are a television host, you're a presenter, 18 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: you're a TV personnel. All the things. We don't have 19 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: time for the intro. But you're amazing. You've always been 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: one of those women in this industry that have been 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: so supportive of other women, as Aaron and I can 22 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: attest to that, not everyone is like that, so we 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: are thrilled to have you on here. And also, it 24 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: is hard to get Colin Coward to love anyone because 25 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: he's very opinionated on things. As we know, Colin Coward 26 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: is obsessed with you. You can listen to her podcast 27 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: on the volume as well, but there's a myriad of 28 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: things that you do, but calling Cowards endorsement, I think 29 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: is number one on that list. I'll take it because 30 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: Colin is um not always the easiest guy to read 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: him like, does he like me? Are we best friends? 32 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying, you know. I always try to work on it, 33 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: and it's from a distance because I don't get to 34 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: see him in person that often. I do my podcast 35 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: from right here, so I don't get to hang out 36 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: with Colin and get to rub elbows with him all 37 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: that often. But when I do, I'm really trying to, 38 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: like work in the nook and crannies. As Aaron can 39 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: attest to, he cornered me in the hallway at Fox 40 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: and was like, I'm obsessed with Renee. I love Renee. 41 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: She's amazing. Do you know how many Instagram followers she has? 42 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: I was like, Colin, you're on Instagram and selfie videos 43 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: and we all know, but yes, when he's smoking his 44 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: cigar and it's like that awkward angle up the nose, Colin, 45 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know I needed to like be introduced to 46 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: all your follicles in your nose here, Renee, what's something 47 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: about Colin Cowherd that people love him, hate him, don't 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: know about him? You know what? I would actually say 49 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: his generosity. So as much as like we've not got 50 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: to spend like that much time together in person, I've 51 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: honestly not really had many people through my career that 52 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: I felt like really bestowed some wisdom. This man knows 53 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: how to drop some knowledge, and I feel like anytime 54 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: we've got to hang out, just like his perspective. Mean, 55 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: obviously he's been so successful through his own career, but 56 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: even talking to him about women in this game, I 57 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: mean from him being able to work with you Carissa, 58 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: working with Beetle, working with Joy Taylor, he has worked 59 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: with so many amazing women, and it feels like he's 60 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: really championed a lot of them throughout their careers. I 61 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: think he has a great eye for the talent that 62 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: he wants to work with. UM. So yeah, for me, 63 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: it's were so like like that being able to have 64 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: someone I'm like, oh, I think I can like really 65 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: learn something from the things that obviously, I mean, God, 66 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: you look at the man's career and what he's been 67 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: able to do, but not everyone's always like willing to 68 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: like shell out that information or like want to hang 69 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: out and like really get into some of those things. 70 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: So I've always really appreciated that from the times that 71 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: we've got to spend together. He is rich rich, Oh 72 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: my god, isn't he? How do I get a little 73 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: bit of that? That's the you know, the business part 74 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Renee, he's always advocated. I remember 75 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: when living in Connecticut and he's like, I own part 76 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: of this wine store and I'm an investor in this 77 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: jerky turkey burn whatever the hell he does. It's like 78 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: what's going but it is. And so you're a woman 79 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: who does a lot of different things. Obviously, you know 80 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: I just mentioned the cookbook. I can't cook. It's not 81 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: my thing either, or age, which I can't wait to 82 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: hear all about this from you. Yes, exactly. So you're 83 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: messing in the kitchen. Is cooking something that you've always done? 84 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: Is that? Where does that background come from? So yeah, 85 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: I mean I've always just love cooking. I love being 86 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: in the kitchen. I'm sure. I mean, I guess you 87 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: guys can't attest this if you don't want to be 88 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: in the kitchen. But when you're on the road that 89 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: often you're ordering up the club so much and like 90 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: the caesar salad, whatever you're getting from the room service. 91 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: Both Jesus, that's a cornucopia fruit over there.

But for me, it was 94 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: like I feel like I really delved into it more 95 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: through my time with w W E.

I 335 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: think it actually freaks people out because they're so used 336 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: to me not swearing on television. They're like, who is this? Yeah, 337 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: it's just it's actually we're trying to work on. It's 338 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: a tough one to break. I also feel like kind 339 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: of boring when I'm just not swearing as much. I like, 340 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: just by my sentences a bit had a little flair. 341 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: He's going to go into one of our segments we're 342 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: gonna have with you about Canadian or is it just 343 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: Jared about swearing? Don't worry, how is being married to 344 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: a Canadian? What's like the other side. They won't get 345 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: to that. I mean, that's gonna be part of our 346 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: segment Canadian or just Jared. So I can't wait. Give 347 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: me the one thing. So you started in the industry 348 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: at what age? Um? I mean I started like auditioning 349 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, like around eighteen nineteen. But then 350 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: I was like brought Like I had my first broadcasting 351 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: on national television job at twenty three. So I think 352 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: it's awesome to, you know, when like younger girls or 353 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: guys or whatever ask advice. Um on, you know, if 354 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: you could go back and tell your younger self something. 355 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: I also think it's important to continue to solicit advice 356 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: from people that I respect in the industry. Give yourself 357 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: advice if you go back in time the eighteen year 358 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: old you or the twenty three year old you that 359 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: you now know that you didn't know, then I would say, 360 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: be selective who you take advice from, because everybody wants 361 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: to dole. Not everybody wants to dole advice, but a 362 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: lot of times, a lot of people can get in 363 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: your ears and it doesn't mean that that person has 364 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: the key to the castle. It doesn't mean that they 365 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: know what is right and what's wrong. I remember early 366 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: on in my career actually when I started doing the 367 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: show in Canada about wrestling, and one of the guys 368 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: and one of the executive producers at um ts N, 369 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: which is like the bigger sports station in Canada, was like, 370 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: don't do wrestling. No one's going to take you seriously. 371 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't really want to be 372 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: taken seriously, Like that's not what I'm trying to do anyway, 373 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: So like, um, yeah, suck that. But yeah, I would 374 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: just say, like, you know, find your people that you trust, 375 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: that you want to be the source of people that 376 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: you want to get information from. And of course listen 377 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: to people and like, you know, take things with a 378 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: grain of salt. Not everybody always has the answer. There's 379 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: no straight line of how you get somewhere, So stick 380 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: to what you know and what you like. And I mean, 381 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's really just getting in that experience too, 382 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: and knowing what your voice is as a broadcast or 383 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: who you want to be, and not letting somebody like 384 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: really take the ring away from you on that. I 385 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: love that. I want to know about your marriage and 386 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: what you know before you jumped on, Chris and I 387 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: were talking about just life, black sins. What makes it 388 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: work you married somebody that's in your field, in your 389 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: line of work. I you know, I'll be really candid. 390 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: I you know that's frowned upon in my world and 391 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: probably I don't know your world too, but I used 392 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: to be so worried about it in my twenties, and 393 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: I did. I dated athletes. I totally did, because we're 394 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: you going to meet people for five to six days 395 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: a week, and like, sorry, a normal Joe Schmo isn't 396 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: going to understand my life going out here, going to bars. 397 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: And I would keep it really on the d L 398 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: about who I dated and yeah whatever, they were interested 399 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: in the same thing. And then obviously I ended up 400 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: marrying somebody in my line of work, not a sport 401 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: I covered at the time, but you did, and and 402 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: how is that and maybe fun stories from meeting going. 403 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: So when John and I first started dating, we kept 404 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: it under wraps for like a good six months before 405 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: anyone like and it's like kind of hard. I mean 406 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: we're always all together, we're on the road or at 407 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: the hotels, we're in the arenas, like it is not 408 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: easy to like really sweep that under the rug um. 409 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: Did you have an o ship moment where somebody caught 410 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: you and you had to like play it off, because 411 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: I definitely did. In like a hotel, a lobby or 412 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: something like that, Yes, I've had. Yeah, there's two to 413 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: come to mind. There's one. So like there's always like 414 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: the TV hotel that like most people stay in, but 415 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,239 Speaker 1: a lot of times wrestlers will stay and like the 416 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: other they don't book their own flights, but they will 417 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: often book their own hotels. So I went and stayed 418 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: at the hotel John was at, and one of the 419 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: other wrestlers was pulled up. He's like in his rental 420 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: car and he's like, what are you doing here? And 421 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: I was like, and I was so new at the 422 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: time that I wasn't even like sure that I was like, 423 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: oh do I handle this situation that I was like, 424 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just a hotel. They booked me this. 425 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, okay, they sniffed me out so fast. 426 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: But I also remember another time John't I have been 427 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: together for a while at this point, but um one 428 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: of it was JB L who's like legendary wrestler. His 429 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: hotel room was right next to ours, and the next day, Hey, 430 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: I was next to your guy, and I'm like, oh 431 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: my god, I just start sweating, like sweating that I'm like, no, 432 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: I mean not even just on the like actually, but 433 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: I was like, what were we saying? Talking about a 434 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: panic mode? But you know that moment when you're staying 435 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: in a obviously we all do. We're staying in a 436 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: hotel with colleagues, and you're like, funk which room at 437 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: the end, because it was I was talking too loud 438 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: to my friend to whoever on the phone, like you 439 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: got the worst I know, yeah, especially if you're like 440 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: wine and you're like just here we go literally we'll 441 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: tell someone the next day and not give a ship. 442 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: I'd be like, okay, I heard and gross or weird. 443 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't care, Like it's just because they'll call my 444 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: ass out because obviously this voice travels um. But yeah, 445 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: So when John and I first started daying that, we 446 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: did keep it to ourselves for quite a while, and 447 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: then once the cat kind of got out of the 448 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: bag and yeah, we've been together for a while, but John, 449 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: So John really keeps to himself, like when he's he's 450 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: like not the social butterfly. If you meet him, it's 451 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: like he's Yeah, he just kind of does his own thing. 452 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: So when he people started seeing him and I hanging 453 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: around was weird to them because he talks to nobody, 454 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: but him and I were always just like buddies. So yeah, 455 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: people are like, something's going on here, and I was like, 456 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: what do you mean, what are you talking about?

Yeah, like I am 464 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: like constantly like at ten, where he is like so mellow, 465 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: he's rational, he's not like that knee jerk reaction where 466 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm the opposite side of that. Um. So I really 467 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: looked out that he's like so patient. Um. And I 468 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: actually think it helps for us that we're in the 469 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: same line of work, like wrestling such a weird world 470 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: that like, if you don't get it, I'm sure for 471 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: the people that are married to people that are outside 472 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: the business, so many people in wrestling are married to 473 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: people within the business, I'm sure when you're on the 474 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: outside of it, it is nice to just like take 475 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: a breather.
