Speaker 1: sure what's going on there because I'm reading a prompter.
Speaker 1: But I saw it in my Jordan Love sit down.
Speaker 1: I was like this and then I see Sometimes I
Speaker 1: think it's when I'm I'm hoping I get a word
Speaker 1: out or two. The only thing I saw in the
Speaker 1: Jordan Love interview where you're legs that were going on
Speaker 1: for ten miles. I can never see a nylon or
Speaker 1: a skirt on my gal but I was like so happy.

Speaker 1: you each and every day. I know I text you this,
Speaker 1: but I really truly don't know what I would do
Speaker 1: without you. When I want to cry, I call you.
Speaker 1: When I want to laugh, I call you. And I
Speaker 1: know we've always been close, but I feel like more
Speaker 1: than ever we are. You know, You're just like my
Speaker 1: safe my safe place. So I'm grateful for that. I'm
Speaker 1: thankful for this curtain that I'm going to close because
Speaker 1: that light was doing me zero favors on my face.
Speaker 1: I am thankful for that little boy that was just
Speaker 1: waiting for you when we just logged in. I am
Speaker 1: thankful that this light is going to change. No. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for health too, I man, I got a
Speaker 1: story on the Big Show. Johnny Holland, the linebackers coach
Speaker 1: of the San Francisco forty nine Ers, has been battling
Speaker 1: cancer for quite some time, battled it four times in fact,
Speaker 1: and pregame yesterday lambeau Field, Kevin Burkhardt and I stood
Speaker 1: talking to him just about the adversity the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers are going through with the injuries, and he said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I talked to these guys a lot
Speaker 1: about adversity, and he was like, I know what it's
Speaker 1: like to almost feel like you're going to die and
Speaker 1: to tell people every day I love them, and to
Speaker 1: I was crying, creaking. I was crying, how would you
Speaker 1: And if you don't, you don't have a heart, I mean,
Speaker 1: and I was We saw John Lynn chapter and He's
Speaker 1: like you good, and I was like, no, I just
Speaker 1: talked to Johnny Holland, who is a wonderful man, and
Speaker 1: I I've been crying. So I'm grateful to have conversations
Speaker 1: with people like that who show you that it is
Speaker 1: important to tell people in your life you'd love them
Speaker 1: and be grateful for your husband when you just run
Speaker 1: in from a delayed flight saying I'm gonna bring the
Speaker 1: kid over so you can say hi to them real fast. Like,
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of great people in our corner.
Speaker 1: We need them with our life, and I'm grateful for
Speaker 1: those people. Good Steve Marino, you included, Yes, Steve is
Speaker 1: I actually, well that's what we can save that for
Speaker 1: the big show. Everyone knows we love Steve. Everyone loves
Speaker 1: Steve more than me. So we get the fact. Thank God,
Speaker 1: thank God for these men in our life. We are
Speaker 1: going Jess Porter thirteen advice for a Bears fan to
Speaker 1: not have their Thanksgiving ruined by the Lions. Oh look, Jess,
Speaker 1: I understand this is maybe not the season that you wanted.
Speaker 1: There's so much pressure on Caleb Williams to come in
Speaker 1: and just save this organization. You have to remember that
Speaker 1: he is just somebody like everyone else that starts a
Speaker 1: new job that's trying to figure it out and with
Speaker 1: high you know, a high draft pick come high expectations,
Speaker 1: So be patient with him. You look at Troy Aikman's career,
Speaker 1: you look at a lot of these guys that they
Speaker 1: don't have success right away, But you know, I hope
Speaker 1: for your organization As someone who born and raised in Seattle.
Speaker 1: It took a long time for the Seattle Seahawks to
Speaker 1: get their Super Bowl victory. We had a nice run
Speaker 1: there for a few years, so I understand that you're
Speaker 1: probably like, Wednesday gonna happen. But I would just say
Speaker 1: be patient with your your young team. And as far
Speaker 1: as the Lions go, it's they've waited a very long
Speaker 1: time to have success. So yeah, I can't say that
Speaker 1: it won't ruin your Thanksgiving because if you're a true fan,
Speaker 1: you want your guys to win. But as we've seen yesterday,
Speaker 1: because we tape this on Mondays, anything can happen in
Speaker 1: the National Football League did a hit with Greg Olsen
Speaker 1: before the start of that Washington Cowboys game, and he's like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll see the Cowboys and guess what, Like the Cowboys
Speaker 1: end up getting a win. So on any given Monday, Thursday,
Speaker 1: or Sunday as the way that the league goes. Although
Speaker 1: I was reading today the Kansas City Chiefs have won
Speaker 1: a game on every day but Tuesday. Because the way
Speaker 1: that sometimes the schedule falls, I guess like they've won
Speaker 1: on every I don't know if it's this year, but
Speaker 1: it's kind of weird. When you think about football now,
Speaker 1: it's like almost every day. Anyways. Great, I don't know
Speaker 1: what this means. This is from Gray and One Aaron.
Speaker 1: Have you done the toy purge before Christmas? I don't
Speaker 1: know what that means. Oh, I think he's follow up?
Speaker 1: What is it? Well, I would imagine it's like because
Speaker 1: Max's gonna get a whole bunch of stuff up because
Speaker 1: they spoiled. So it's like, get rid of the toys
Speaker 1: that you know he doesn't do or doesn't use or
Speaker 1: like lovey and then maybe don't get some of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank god, we have great nannies that are like, he's
Speaker 1: grown out of this. This was reborn stage. And I'm like, oh, okay, yes,
Speaker 1: because you're not heart by the way, I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk to you, because you're working hard to provide a
Speaker 1: great life for your child. And what do I always
Speaker 1: remind you of how many memories do you have as
Speaker 1: a one year old? You don't, but you feel love,
Speaker 1: and you're providing shelter and you're providing those toys. So
Speaker 1: do not feel guilty. Your love for him will come
Speaker 1: in many different forms. And by the way, football season
Speaker 1: is only a short amount of time. In the whole
Speaker 1: grand scheme of the calendar year. I mean, you're doing
Speaker 1: great skiving. Yeah, No, we're hanging in there. We're tucking
Speaker 1: along all right. Great you have here. What is one
Speaker 1: thing your dad taught you that sticks with you? My
Speaker 1: dad loves the podcast. Well, that is so sweet. I
Speaker 1: love that you. I don't know what your dad's name is,
Speaker 1: but please tell him that we said hello. Aaron and
Speaker 1: I talk about our dads a lot on this podcast
Speaker 1: because we love them so, so very much and are
Speaker 1: very close with them. Growing up, my dad had he
Speaker 1: wrote out rules for success. We had him put on
Speaker 1: our wall. There's a bunch of different sayings. One you know,
Speaker 1: plan your work, work your plan. Those who fail to
Speaker 1: reach their goals fail to set them. So I have
Speaker 1: a lot of Scottisms, as I call them, but I
Speaker 1: would say the one that sticks out the most for me.
Speaker 1: It's kind of morbid. But it makes sense that the
Speaker 1: wor the cemetery is full of irreplaceable people. And what
Speaker 1: I mean by that is, I don't think that you're
Speaker 1: so special, because there's a lot of people out there
Speaker 1: that are just as great as you. And like the
Speaker 1: minute you think that you've arrived, the world will knock
Speaker 1: you back down. So always show humility, be grateful and know.
Speaker 1: Oh my other one scottyism is this life is not
Speaker 1: a dress rehearsal. We only get one go around, so
Speaker 1: the most of it. What about your sister, well, you
Speaker 1: know the one A lot of times right, just a
Speaker 1: little frustrated in life with certain things. And my down
Speaker 1: will say, stop complaining, don't. You don't need to say
Speaker 1: anything to anyone. Just sit back and watch, Sit back
Speaker 1: and watch how this is going to go. Worry about
Speaker 1: yourself and sit back and watch. And by the way,
Speaker 1: more times than not, when it happens, well you're like,
Speaker 1: well we just set back. What so I love next? Okay,
Speaker 1: nar guy Cet. Do you guys get to script some
Speaker 1: of the halftime dialogue? Is the talking order present? Oh?
Speaker 1: I love that question, Brisette. Yeah, so for halftime it's
Speaker 1: obviously all game dependent, So no, it's not scripted, but
Speaker 1: we do so sitting in the green room or wherever
Speaker 1: our you know said area is that we sit and
Speaker 1: watch the game throughout the first half. You know, guys,
Speaker 1: just look for trends. If it's turnovers, if it's inefficiency
Speaker 1: on third down, if it's not finishing in the red
Speaker 1: zone whatever. The sort of you know, storyline of the
Speaker 1: first half is each guy will take a different angle
Speaker 1: of it. We also have like a you know, a
Speaker 1: paid element where you have to do, like let's go
Speaker 1: into the State Farm highlight bundle and take a deeper
Speaker 1: dive kind of thing. So it's not scripted, but it's
Speaker 1: we go out there with you know, a sort of
Speaker 1: an understanding of who's going to go. The order is
Speaker 1: reset only just so you don't get that weird step
Speaker 1: on people thing and look around. But yeah, I would
Speaker 1: say it's not scripted, but it's orderly. I guess produced
Speaker 1: is kind of how that goes. And then postgame is
Speaker 1: similar reactionary to the game. And then there's some prescripted
Speaker 1: stuff that's like different elements that we have to get involved,
Speaker 1: like get in if it's like a marsh On feature
Speaker 1: or if it's like an Amazon Music Live. So I
Speaker 1: would say, if I had to put a percentage on it,
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the show is not scripted, twenty
Speaker 1: five percent is. It's one of my favorite shows out there.
Speaker 1: We were talking this morning as we were drinking in
Speaker 1: a meeting room till one thirty am Thursday Night football
Speaker 1: would appreciate that a little night. We'd be there till
Speaker 1: three thirty am. Yeah. Yeah, you were just getting off
Speaker 1: air at that time, but we were just talking about
Speaker 1: how awesome it was that you went phase first in
Speaker 1: that snow. It was just everybody's like, good for you,
Speaker 1: Like that's what that crew should be doing. It's just you.
Speaker 1: You guys have so much fun and it's great to watch. Well,
Speaker 1: I love you. It's not that serious. It's fun. And
Speaker 1: when a guy like Jameis Winston who just won the
Speaker 1: football game is willing to go do snow angels, get
Speaker 1: your ass in the snow and have some fun. Yeah, Tony,
Speaker 1: I know. Tony. On the bus right home, you to
Speaker 1: appreciate this, he looks out the window and he goes, man,
Speaker 1: I'm such a loser. He regretted, like not jumping in.
Speaker 1: But this is what's so great about Tony. Tony is
Speaker 1: such a team guy. But like in the moment he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it, but then he looks
Speaker 1: back and he's like, oh I should have done that.
Speaker 1: He's just all, yeah, so cute. What do we got?
Speaker 1: We got? Missus Stromer the sound that sounds like a
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's like something sexy about missus Stromer.
Speaker 1: What are we doing about cold soares? Hell? Well, that's
Speaker 1: not sexy and if it's a condition, I'm very sorry.
Speaker 1: I gotta I have never knock on wood. I don't
Speaker 1: have the cold sore jean thing where it comes out.
Speaker 1: I know, like sometimes it's induced by stress. Jareded has it?
Speaker 1: Who does it? Jared? Oh? He does, Yeah, he can do.
Speaker 1: He takes like the I guess, like the blue pill
Speaker 1: thing for him, the Valtrex for cold soars. I guess
Speaker 1: he always gets them when we go to Montana, Like
Speaker 1: it's something with the altitude that affects them or something
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know. Yeah, and he gets them
Speaker 1: and he's like, whoa, babe, I got a doozy coming in.
Speaker 1: So it's like kiss the cheek, kiss, kiss the cheek. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've only got it one time ever, when I got
Speaker 1: my I got that lip blush stuff. So I don't
Speaker 1: have to which is I got to tell you, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, we've talked about it before. On here. There's
Speaker 1: like a lot of experimental things like let's not do that.
Speaker 1: The best thing that I did was that lip blush
Speaker 1: stuff because you don't really have to wear makeup and
Speaker 1: it makes you feel like you always have some color
Speaker 1: in your face. But I got like a little I
Speaker 1: thought it was a burn, but like a little cold
Speaker 1: star thing from that, because I guess it's like it's
Speaker 1: kind of like a tattoo on your lip. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: if you have that, I guess Missus Stromer, I just
Speaker 1: consult your dermatologist or doctor, and I think it's prevented.
Speaker 1: Can't you like take it ahead of time if you
Speaker 1: think you're getting one, I get Yeah, if you think
Speaker 1: you're getting one, you can like knock out like two.
Speaker 1: But yeah, sorry, we don't have a lot of advice
Speaker 1: in that area. Yeah. Mac Morgan thirty eight been on
Speaker 1: a few dates with someone, but she's really not into sports.
Speaker 1: Is this a big red flag? Sometimes opposites a track.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you need a balance or you know, like some
Speaker 1: sort of counter to balance. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: think in ress flag. I don't think a red flag.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to put that. I
Speaker 1: I need someone in my life to understand sports, to
Speaker 1: understand what I do, to understand the world. I think.
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about it last week where I
Speaker 1: went to Green Bay twice last week. I'm not a hero,
Speaker 1: but I just was, you know, kind of going over
Speaker 1: in my head, like do I should I do this?
Speaker 1: And I loved my husband and my dad so much
Speaker 1: to say, it's the Packer, it's the Packers quarterback, and
Speaker 1: it's the NFL and Fox pregame show. And I loved
Speaker 1: your for saying this to me last week. It's the
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. He shouldn't do a
Speaker 1: no talent piece. You should be there. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm right, I love that. But he gets sports, so
Speaker 1: he gets that, so I need that in my life.
Speaker 1: I agree for us, I would say it depends on
Speaker 1: what play like, what role sports play in your life.
Speaker 1: If you are a sports obviously you're a sports fan
Speaker 1: Mac Morgan thirty eight. And I would say, if this
Speaker 1: individual is going to have a problem with you watching
Speaker 1: football on Saturdays or Sundays or Monday or Thursday, and
Speaker 1: then she's going to start complaining and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: then maybe that's let's not go that route. I think
Speaker 1: it would make your life a lot easier if she
Speaker 1: did like sports. Unless she's super cool and she's like, hey,
Speaker 1: that's your thing, and while you do that, I go
Speaker 1: do something else. So I don't think it's a red flag,
Speaker 1: but I definitely would proceed with caution, because if she's
Speaker 1: gonna say she's cool with you watching games, and now
Speaker 1: you're six months down the road and now she's bitching
Speaker 1: because you're watching football four nights a week, you might
Speaker 1: want to break up with him. Yeah. I just advocated
Speaker 1: for a break up. All right, we're doing it, sister,
Speaker 1: We're doing it. We're doing it. Week twelve is officially
Speaker 1: in the books. Join us on the Big Show. We
Speaker 1: will break it all down. Aaron was in Green Bay,
Speaker 1: I was in Cleveland, and a whole lot more Big Show.
