Speaker 2: fiance's sister don't like the bridesmaid's dress I chose and
Speaker 2: want to pick their own. Help sister don't like the
Speaker 2: bridesmaid dress I chose, and they want to pick their own.
Speaker 2: It's not your wedding, your wedding, I know, I know,
Speaker 2: but see, you know what she's doing. She's doing what
Speaker 2: we would do, Like we want everyone to be happy.
Speaker 2: So it's like if especially since it's the sisters, it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: well then now we're giving up control so other people
Speaker 2: can be happy. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: it's our day and you should wear whatever you want.
Speaker 2: I wonder if you could talk to your fiance. I
Speaker 2: don't know what your relationship is with your fiance's sisters,
Speaker 2: but I feel like if you talk to your fiance
Speaker 2: and say, hey, look, can we tell the gals to
Speaker 2: it should come from her husband or her fiance. Not funny,
Speaker 2: don't you think? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Honestly, guys, gals of the fiance sisters, lock it up.
Speaker 2: It's not your day.
Speaker 1: And the fact that now that gossip even got back
Speaker 1: to the bride, that ain't good because you just put
Speaker 1: shit on her plate. She doesn't need to worry about.
Speaker 1: She needs to worry about getting along with his side
Speaker 1: of the family. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: She's got so.
Speaker 1: Many things to worry about. The fact you don't like
Speaker 1: your dresses. That's annoying. It got to her, So they
Speaker 1: need to be in time out and actually, anonymous, let
Speaker 1: us know how this goes. You stick to your guns
Speaker 1: and you keep talking on yours. You know, that's all
Speaker 1: people are worried about. They don't care what they look like.
Speaker 1: Who gives a crap, That's what I gotta say. I'm
Speaker 1: tired of these attitudes.
Speaker 2: You know, well done.
Speaker 1: Kitty cat mew, kitty cap corner m h okay, okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: I was okay, Cheryl, Cheryl Bees, Cheryl Buys, Cheryl Bees.
Speaker 1: Both of our kids recently got engaged. Any input on
Speaker 1: how to be a good mother in law?
Speaker 2: Oh, look at this on the other side of things.
Speaker 2: That's so sweet.
Speaker 1: I think you've already achieved that because you are asking
Speaker 1: and you seem concerned and adorable. I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: a sweet little gift or note to kind of what's
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for to celebrate.
Speaker 2: The moment, Yeah, yeah, yeah, to welcome them in to
Speaker 2: your family. I think that's a really good idea, be
Speaker 2: like welcome to a family.
Speaker 1: I got engaged right before Christmas, kind of ish early December,
Speaker 1: and my mom for Christmas got us both like engaged ornaments,
Speaker 1: which at the time is like, oh, that's so cute,
Speaker 1: But every year when we open it up to decorate
Speaker 1: the tree, we're like, oh, so cute, Mom, that's really sweet.
Speaker 2: I like that a little gift to welcome them to
Speaker 2: the family. And then I also think just not being
Speaker 2: too pushy either, Like I think that that's I've definitely had,
Speaker 2: you know, sence a bed of you. Don't be too
Speaker 2: pushy when it comes to being the mother in law,
Speaker 2: Like that's a big turn off. Like let the person
Speaker 2: come to you, like the you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if it's the girl I guess
Speaker 2: I imagine or either way, Yeah, just be cool, sit
Speaker 2: on the sideline and know that that's like you're ushering
Speaker 2: in like a new family member and like your son
Speaker 2: or your daughter. I think it's harder too, Like if
Speaker 2: Mac ends up marrying someone you don't like, can you
Speaker 2: imagine it? Well, no, I do try to. I did
Speaker 2: a fitting today. I was shooting something.
Speaker 1: Why I have these this much makeup on, but I
Speaker 1: also was doing a fitting maybe for New Orleans, and
Speaker 1: everything I was thinking of is like, Okay, you and
Speaker 1: I are going to dinner. Okay, you and I are
Speaker 1: doing this. You and I are doing this. And my girlfriend,
Speaker 1: she's so great, who dresses me? She was like, do
Speaker 1: you see yourself wearing this? I go or to Max's
Speaker 1: wedding and she goes, oh my god, stop it was
Speaker 1: a little a little one bride or mother of the groom.
Speaker 2: Laura m uh Laura McClung, how about that shirting forties soon?
Speaker 2: What's the best thing about being in your fabulous forties, Laura,
Speaker 2: let me tell you. I think it's just acceptance of self.
Speaker 2: It's you know, you are not trying as hard to
Speaker 2: I don't know to. You're hopefully established in your career,
Speaker 2: and if you aren't, maybe you're even changing careers because
Speaker 2: you're deciding that that career that you had you don't like.
Speaker 2: I think there's just a real sense of self in
Speaker 2: your forties that you're comfortable in who you are, You're
Speaker 2: comfortable and where you're at in your life, and just
Speaker 2: it's a little bit of a like Oucket attitude, you know,
Speaker 2: like you've weed it out, hopefully you've weeded out the
Speaker 2: people that don't matter in your life and you can
Speaker 2: focus all your energy on like the core group that
Speaker 2: you've built at this point in your life. I think
Speaker 2: it just comes with forties, comes with freedom, in my opinion.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, Okay Mac Morgan thirty eight is
Speaker 1: asking out a woman in person dead No, I think
Speaker 1: that's one pot so hot. Yes, where are you going
Speaker 1: to do it? I just love that, Like I don't
Speaker 1: like to come up to like walk up to you, approach.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this before.
Speaker 2: I think the move of like you're at the bar,
Speaker 2: you have the bartender send the drink over and say
Speaker 2: this is from so and so down the way. You
Speaker 2: can wave and then you can go over and talk
Speaker 2: to the person. Or if you're not interested and you
Speaker 2: just wave and say thank you so much and then
Speaker 2: you leave. But don't put pressure on that person, like
Speaker 2: you're come right up to them and you're like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'd like to take you out for a date. I
Speaker 2: guarantee you've had that happen before, Like if you're not
Speaker 2: wearing a wedding ring or something, when someone's like Hey,
Speaker 2: I'd like to take you out. I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 2: don't think my boyfriend would like that very much. Like
Speaker 2: that's what you have to say. Yeah, I don't feel
Speaker 2: like anyone's ever done that time. Oh, knock it off.
Speaker 2: I'mkay saying cree being married. Like when someone came up
Speaker 2: and you weren't interested.
Speaker 1: You don't like shows those people like that you're not
Speaker 1: interested in that do that. It's like the ones that
Speaker 1: you're sitting there having the drink and it's be like,
Speaker 1: are you gonna ask me out?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna ask?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want them to. I just think that it's
Speaker 2: it shows. I would never shoot someone down, like in
Speaker 2: front of their face. I think it takes a lot
Speaker 2: of courage to do that. But I also think don't
Speaker 2: put the pressure on the person to have to say
Speaker 2: yes to it right there, Like just give send the
Speaker 2: little note over or drink over. I told you about
Speaker 2: the homecoming, ask right or the promise?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel so bad. And then my dog was
Speaker 1: eating chicken, my chicken wings in the back. Yeah, beatings tough.
Speaker 1: My mom is freaking out, shut Brock's eyed down, her hair,
Speaker 1: her throat.
Speaker 2: So many things are good. Shit, I don't think we've
Speaker 2: had those on the West Coast. Okay, Anna, oh I
Speaker 2: already did it? Go ahead, No Anna to Cony. Just
Speaker 2: moved and looking to upgrade my furniture. Where do y'all
Speaker 2: show you go? All right, Anna, here's the deal. The
Speaker 2: goate on a budge or not on a budge, exactly
Speaker 2: on a budget, not on a budget. The go to
Speaker 2: on a budget is always living spaces. You can get
Speaker 2: good deals like an Ashley furniture. I mean those are
Speaker 2: like budget budget, but like good staples. And then I
Speaker 2: would say if your mid range price points you're looking
Speaker 2: for like a CBE two or a Creighton barrel, a
Speaker 2: west Elm is always good. And then the higher end
Speaker 2: stunt stuff is more of like four Hands that's basically
Speaker 2: half of your place in the mountains. Oh it's called
Speaker 2: four Hands. Yeah, it's they have a bunch of different vendors. Okay,
Speaker 2: you need to relax. Daisy is having an anxiety attack
Speaker 2: because my dad my parents are visiting, and she loves
Speaker 2: my dad and she can't see him right now, so
Speaker 2: she's losing a shit. So yeah, so I would do that.
Speaker 2: I would start living spaces. If you're on a budget,
Speaker 2: CB two Creighton barrel mid range and then four hands
Speaker 2: for the or Coco Republic HD Buttercupp. Also my favorites
Speaker 2: is Ethan Allen still a thing not for me.
Speaker 1: I just didn't know if I I remember like growing
Speaker 1: up by an Ethan Allen and being like that's so rich.
Speaker 2: Z Gallery was the one for me. If it was
Speaker 2: like if you shopped at Z Gallery.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, mm hmmm, I love that. Okay, pee gips
Speaker 1: dot on, no clue if you're trying to get me
Speaker 1: to say something pea gips dot on. When someone is
Speaker 1: when someone is talking your ear off, how do you
Speaker 1: politely exit the conversation.
Speaker 2: I usually just leave.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't focus, and then Carissa or Jarrett will
Speaker 1: get annoyed with me and be like, Okay, you can't
Speaker 1: be nice, be nice?
Speaker 2: I uh. I had this happened to me, Oh my god, Daisy,
Speaker 2: cutie cute. I had this happened to me a Thursday
Speaker 2: night game, which this is the worst. Okay, when someone's
Speaker 2: talking and it's it's like you're I here's the problem.
Speaker 2: I'm a talker, so I really emphathize with people because Daisy, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is crazy. Sit down for here and you have
Speaker 2: a treat stop. I am a talker, so I really
Speaker 2: do emphathize with people that talk. But like you got
Speaker 2: to try to like look for that out in the conversation.
Speaker 2: And I couldn't get the out in the conversation. And
Speaker 2: I see my boys over here out of my periphery
Speaker 2: and they're all looking at me, and they know that
Speaker 2: I'm trapped by this person because this person has a
Speaker 2: reputation of traffic and I am literally giving the middle
Speaker 2: finger off to the side and they see it, and
Speaker 2: now one of them uses that as a caller. I
Speaker 2: d But I'm telling you right now if you need
Speaker 2: to get out and be like I'm so sorry, I'm
Speaker 2: just going to go run and grab a drink at
Speaker 2: the bar. Do you want anything? And then you come
Speaker 2: back with multiple drinks, set one down to deliver, and
Speaker 2: then you go and then you're like, oh, I got
Speaker 2: to deliver these, and so it's like you're not being rude,
Speaker 2: You're still offering a drink or a beverage, but it's
Speaker 2: like you've got to You've got to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and last but not least, okay, Oh is this
Speaker 1: you or me?
Speaker 2: Who's going?
Speaker 1: Oh? Me?
Speaker 2: You know, it's you, okay, prop tour as women. Have
Speaker 2: you ever felt an adequate or out of place in
Speaker 2: a male dominated industry? How did you navigate those challenges?
Speaker 2: I'm a corporate gals striving to make partner, but working
Speaker 2: in a leadership team that's mostly men often feels like
Speaker 2: breaking into a boys club. Any advice on how to
Speaker 2: bridge that gap or make my mark? Well, first of all,
Speaker 2: good for you, you badass in a corporate atmosphere, erin
Speaker 2: you're good at giving advice on this. I'll piggyback off
Speaker 2: what you say.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I feel inadequate all the time, but then
Speaker 1: there's also times I know I belong and I know
Speaker 1: Carrisa belongs. I just we've also been doing this for
Speaker 1: twenty something years. And if you just said you know
Speaker 1: you're looking to make your corporate gals striving to make partner,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that how long that means you've been
Speaker 1: in it. Yes, I have my good days and I
Speaker 1: have my bad days, but I also know how hard
Speaker 1: I work. I also know how important I am to
Speaker 1: the broadcast. I think there's different things that I struggle with, right,
Speaker 1: So I'll be honest as a sideline reporter. You don't
Speaker 1: get it in a lot, you just don't have It
Speaker 1: was my first game the other day. I didn't get
Speaker 1: in at all in game. And there's a lot of
Speaker 1: shit that goes on during the game. There's a lot
Speaker 1: like that. You know, they're worried about what the booth
Speaker 1: is saying. We had so much crazy shit happening in
Speaker 1: our Lions game. Jared Goff gets hurt. Da dah da
Speaker 1: dah There's a lot happening. But I also know if
Speaker 1: I'm not providing stuff on camera or on the mic,
Speaker 1: I'm giving them shots. Hey, the secondary is going through this. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is what I'm seeing out of the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Pinay Shool just got bent over backwards like things like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I felt I'm not gonna lie. I felt really down
Speaker 1: about myself after the game on Sunday because I was like,
Speaker 1: I didn't offer anything on camera or like on the microphone.
Speaker 1: And I had a good conversation with my producer. He's like,
Speaker 1: do you know how much you gave us with this? Like,
Speaker 1: but I'm also really hard on myself, and I think
Speaker 1: that is a lot to do with working in a
Speaker 1: male dominated industry.
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that I was just gonna say,
Speaker 2: I think a lot of that is because you're compared.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, but I'm not doing as much as
Speaker 2: this person or this person. I don't even think. I
Speaker 2: don't even think that's a male thing, to be honest,
Speaker 2: I do that that's just no, because like I don't.
Speaker 2: I think in general, you and I are not competitive
Speaker 2: at all in our jobs. If anything were more like
Speaker 2: you take it or what you're doing is you want
Speaker 2: to Yeah, exactly. But I still think that there's always
Speaker 2: that part of if you really love your job, you
Speaker 2: want to be the best, You want to be the
Speaker 2: you know, the top of that position. So in this
Speaker 2: particular case, I would just say that to Aaron's point,
Speaker 2: know that you belong, but also I think it's okay
Speaker 2: to still continue to have humility if you're at the
Speaker 2: top of that manner, because the minute that you think
Speaker 2: that you've arrived, like you're out. And so I think,
Speaker 2: like Aaron and I talk about it a lot in
Speaker 2: this podcast, be curious, be humble, but also have that
Speaker 2: confidence to be like, you got here for a reason.
Speaker 2: So I would just say, lean into your position, be confident,
Speaker 2: but then also be curious and keep asking questions and
Speaker 2: hopefully that helps you. But yeah, just remember that you're
Speaker 2: a bad as and you belong there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, holding your head up high with a bunch of
Speaker 1: men in the room is the sexiest and I feel
Speaker 1: like one of the best accessories you can.
Speaker 2: Have because good, Yeah, I just I do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do now I Sometimes it's hard to walk
Speaker 1: that walk, but put something good to remember.
Speaker 2: Shoulders back, tomphy Brace, Shoulders back, tomphy Brace. We got
Speaker 2: a lot to talk about on the Big Show. The
Speaker 2: playoffs are here, baby, and we've got an NFC Championship
Speaker 2: game around the corner that will be on Fox, AFC
Speaker 2: Championship on CBS. We will break down all that in
Speaker 2: a whole lot more. Also ways to continue to help
Speaker 2: for those of you that want to participate in all
Speaker 2: of the devastation here in California. Okay, love you bye.
