Speaker 1: or used to at work. He's recently return fired, which

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,160

Speaker 1: but he always texts me and ends text with daddy. Oh.

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: We should ask him why because I didn't calling him daddy,

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: So I have no idea what that's about, but it's

Speaker 1: that you know. With Father's Day coming up this Sunday,

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,160

00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: comes on, but yeah, mc cathy was in town. So

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: as we have begun, but began be gone, big gone

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: um to do on this podcast talking about our highs

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: and the low. So that was definitely my high was

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: spending some quality time with Kathy. She came to town.

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: We went up to the lake house and did you

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: guys drink of course together? Of course we did lots

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: of wine. Was consumed a copious amount. But it was

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: really nice. I always take my dad to the Masters

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: and then my mom and I do a fun little

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: gals getaway. We went to Napal last year and so

48
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: we just hung out at the lake and it was

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: really nice and it makes me miss them. You know, what,

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: how old were you when you moved away from home? Um? Well,

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: college one and then for like, I went back home

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: after college. I moved in with my parents to cover

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Lightning and lived with them. But basically

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: I was on the road, you know, all the time

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: with the team. But hey, save money, live with my

56
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: mom and dad. It was perfect. I'm not mad at

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: any of that. And then so after that I moved

58
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: away to go to Atlanta. So maybe two thousand's yeah,

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: I left when I was oh wow. Yeah. I came

60
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: back for three months because I couldn't transfer to Santa

61
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: Barbara until whatever, and so I went home and that's

62
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: when I worked at the cheesecake factory. But the point

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: is once I left home, I really didn't ever go

64
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: back and my parents, you know, living in Seattle, I

65
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: don't get to see them a whole lot, so it's

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: nice to spend the quality times. That was my high.

67
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: What was your high this week? Doll? What was my high?

68
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: I think my high was what I saw on Instagram

69
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: today our friend and a guy we covered in the

70
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: NFL and our teammate Greg Olson and his son my

71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: God getting discharged from the hospital and the family got

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: to ring the bell. Of course, I don't know if

73
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: you've been living under a rock and not following that story,

74
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: but Greg Olson, his son t J, has been um,

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't know the word. Was he born with half

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: a heart. I know that they have the Half a

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Heart Foundation and basically went into heart failure last month.

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: And I think what I heard from our bosses at Foxes,

79
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: they always thought he was going to need a heart transplant,

80
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: they just didn't know it was going to be at

81
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: the age of eight years old. And he got one

82
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: and he's getting out of the hospital. And Greg has

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: documented the journey, So you could check out all of

84
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: those on Instagram, and they you suggested I do that. Anyways,

85
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, if you're having a bad day, go

86
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: to that positivity and just the things that he was

87
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: saying about his eight year old son, like he never

88
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: felt sorry for himself. That kid looks so healthy. It's

89
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: hard to believe how sick he was. And I'm just

90
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: so overjoyed for the oldson family. God love him. Yeah,

91
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: that's well, that's incredible, and I, you know, concur with

92
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: everything you said. That is a high this week, next

93
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: week and the week after and um, you know a

94
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: post that I lost it on and like we'll just

95
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: tear up even thinking about. Is that somebody's family didn't

96
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a great week because of Greg's high. It

97
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: was somebody else's low. Of course, the heart transplant meant

98
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: that somebody else lost their child. And of course I

99
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: can't even begin to imagine, um, the pain that came

100
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: with that. I you know, you know, very well documented.

101
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: My niece had a brain tumor. Diagnosed with a brain

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: tumor when she was six years old. And man, it's

103
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: different being in that pediatric I to you, it's awful

104
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: when anyone is sick, but when kids are animals get sick,

105
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: there's something about that that just makes me. And I'm

106
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: sure anyone that has an ounce of a heart or soul.

107
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: They're helpless, you know, and it just breaks my heart.

108
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: But I'm so happy for Greg and his family. And

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: it also speaks to the kind of person that Greg

110
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: is to be able to acknowledge that somebody else wasn't

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: as lucky. But you know that, as we always lean into,

112
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: is that the bigger plan is UM, something we don't know.

113
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: So celebrating those victories with UM. As you mentioned, he's

114
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: now our teammate over at Fox, so big shout out

115
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: to him. Um. You know, I don't even know if

116
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: I had a look, did you have a low this week?

117
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: I feel like, oh yeah, it's very petty my low.

118
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: So I had to go away this week. It was

119
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: very exciting to start working again. Here comes the list.

120
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: These things are going to come out in no time.

121
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of you for keeping them in as

122
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: as often as you do. I can't. So anyways, I

123
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: had to travel to Atlanta for you know, and as

124
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm not in a signment but kind of an advertising thing,

125
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: I had to do and I have a mother of

126
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: assisting Zip coming in right now. So one great thing

127
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: is you can wear a mask and you can wear

128
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: those ZIP patches. Without people seeing them, and so I

129
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: wore one on the four and a half hour flight.

130
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Then I went to sleep in one. It ate through

131
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: my skin. So now I have a circle of raw

132
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: skin from the patch below right now. Thank you. I mean, look,

133
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: I love a cellosilic acid. Easy for you to say.

134
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: You try to say cell a silic acid right now

135
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: with those in leave, leave them and try to say

136
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: cell a silica cells, cell a silic acid, cell asilic acid.

137
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm taking these dirt bag right off. There's two things.

138
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: While you do your surgery, your oral surgery. I can't

139
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: believe he's never had braces. You have like the most

140
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: beautiful smile. I had it all and I still need

141
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: that retainer on the bottom. But independent of that, I

142
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: love me something. I know I'm I'm that person, and

143
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: I know you're the same way. If that product isn't

144
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: burning on my skin, that she doesn't want to you too,

145
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: But not the around area, because that's what gets so red.

146
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: And I just stood upstairs and was like, you know,

147
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: peeling it off with a tweezer, and then you get

148
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 1: the other raw area. I'm supposed to go to dinner

149
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 1: tonight and then I'm gonna get foundations with your other friends?

150
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Are you going to dinner with your other friends again?

151
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Got my other friends go out and they make plans?

152
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Hill is Open, Beverly Hills. You know that's

153
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: a movie you haven't seen or watched together? True Beverly

154
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: hid that movie? My god, I said, I can't wait.

155
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: That's actually another thing we need to talk about with

156
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: our pops because I mean, well, our affinity for Christmas

157
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: vacation hence the why you know the clars in our lives.

158
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: So we got to talk to him about that. There's

159
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: so many movie lines. Actually, did your dad ever make

160
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: you like? Did he when you guys were listening to

161
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: music in the car? Was he ever like, oh, this

162
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: is what this song means or this is what that means?

163
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: Like were you guys music people? Yeah, my dad's huge

164
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: into the Beatles, Like he's obsessed into the Beatles. He

165
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: loves like everything. We actually went to Paul McCartney together

166
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: two years ago before the world shutdown and that was

167
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: really fun. At where was Paul McCartney was at Dodger Stadium,

168
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: so great, we had a time. Um, I was a

169
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: real dick to my dad about the Beatles because I

170
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: used to say. New kids on the block were like

171
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: way better. And my dad one time, I like called

172
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: John Lennon a really bad word and my dad put

173
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: soap in my mouth and then you know the move

174
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: that he did. He I didn't suck on it, so

175
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: all this bit was coming down on my face. My

176
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: dad took it out and scraped my two front teeth

177
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: with the soap. And now you're wearing a retainer? Are

178
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: those teeth three? And I wonder they're so perfect? Um,

179
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: give piece a chance. By the way, what are you

180
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: doing Yogo? Oh? No, would not have been a fan

181
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: of mine, so whatever, No, she wouldn't. I'll tell you

182
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: where she is though. She's in my guest bathroom a

183
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: picture of her and John. I bought these prints. I

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: was like my dad also loved the beat, and I

185
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: opposite of you. I had a great appreciation for John Lennon.

186
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: In fact, I went and visited his apartment in New

187
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: York because I wanted to see the whole. I mean,

188
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: it's also tragic that he was shot right outside of

189
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: his apartment. But I have a picture. It was the

190
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: last photo shoot that they did John and Yoko, and

191
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: it's in this bedroom and like it's very sexy. Anyway,

192
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: it's in the guest bathroom. If you're ever over what

193
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: you need to come over a well, oh, you're too

194
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: busy with your other friends. My other friends. Here we go. Hey, also,

195
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: are we so excited? The world is returning California no

196
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: mass starting June fifte. I know you're weird about it.

197
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: You're not ready. I'm fully ready. I am out there.

198
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm like moonwalking that I don't have to wear a

199
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: mask anywhere. I was on a plane yesterday and the

200
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: day before, and I'm glad they're still enforcing the mass situation.

201
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: I will see. I don't know for days like this

202
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: when I have a planet growing on my chin. I

203
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: really like the mask. I got to be honest. Oh

204
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: my god, your anus, my bad, my bad breath phobia too.

205
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, I really really liked the whole

206
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: mask thing. Sometimes you're the person that always has listerine

207
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: or something with you, So why is it because you're

208
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: phobia you're worried about it? Probably now with these things

209
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: in my mouth, they don't help either. God, do you

210
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: know how do you clean those at night? Oh? I

211
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: clean those like three times a day. I have a

212
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: breath phobia. I scrub them with whitening. Have you have

213
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: you if you tell me you've never whitened your teeth.

214
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna be really piste off just with crust

00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: that's something that I'll never have, you know what I mean? Um,

219
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: all right, well, I am very excited. There's no point

220
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: in just getting delaying the inevitable. Let the stars shine.

243
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: first of all, you know the love that I have

244
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: for your daughter, and how appreciative I am that you

245
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: brought her into this world. My father always said, I

00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: brought you into this world, I can take you out

247
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,440

250
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: you know life, even from Afar. So I just wanted

251
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 1: to be remissed if I didn't say thank you for

252
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: always been so sweet and kind to me as well.

253
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: And you know when we were talking about Father's Day,

254
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: we're like, there's no way we can't. How are our

255
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: pops on? So you know, throughout this podcast, even in

256
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: its infancy, Steve, we've talked about the stories and how

257
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: you guys have impacted us. In one story that stood

258
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: out in particular, as there are many um with you

259
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: and Aaron, is the sweet relationship you guys have while

260
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: she's actually working and the text that you guys send

261
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: back and forth. So we've heard Aaron's account of this.

262
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: I want you to set up the stage for us

263
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: as only you can and how this all goes down

264
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: during a game. Let's pretend it's the NFC Championship in

265
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: Lambeau once again, Green Bay Packers Campa Bay Buccaneers, yea

266
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: or or the end All be All and this is

267
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: your team, Chris. When Dad, when the Packers blew it,

268
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: sorry Aaron against the Seahawks and I was like, Dad,

269
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: I have to interview Pete Carroll and they're gonna lose,

270
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: and You're like it's not over yet, and then you

271
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: were so upset, and I was like, Dad, I have

272
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: to interview Russell, help me, help me, And they're like

273
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: not typing fast enough because you were so pissed about

274
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: the Packers. Yeah, tell us, that's so fun. Well, you know,

275
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: the whole routine starts well before the game even starts, generally,

276
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking on the phone or texting each other,

277
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: well before she leaves the hotel and and as she's

278
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: on her way to the stadium or or whatever. Hey,

279
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm a sports fan, you know, I just like to

280
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: hear the inside scoop on what's going on. Of course, Aaron,

281
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, she's she she has some really juicy stuff,

282
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: and she goes, you can't tell anybody. I can't tell you.

283
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: You can't tell anybody. Yeah, I mean she was telling

284
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: me about well I can't. But you know, the process

285
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: starts actually probably when you go to the well. Of course,

286
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: the show was different with the pandemic, but when Aaron

287
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: shows up, you know it coaches meetings, or when she

288
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: shows up at the stadium David for or practice facility,

289
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: and you know, she starts telling me a little bit

290
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: about what went down and who's hurt, and you know,

291
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: what kind of a move this guy is in, or

292
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: what a jerk that person might and uh, so, you know,

293
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: I kind of retained this and then you know, we

294
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: we just kind of have a conversation throughout the weekend

295
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: and as the game progresses. I think the one the

296
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: one game that stands out to me is is, uh,

297
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: the Giants were playing and Eli had thrown an interception,

298
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: you remember this one, but thrown an interception and late

299
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and Fox showed a shot of Eli

300
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: on the sideline and he was biting his lip. He

301
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: was really tense. And I sat here on a text

302
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: about because I can't see that. I can't see what's

303
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: on TV. By the way, my dad's telling me this. Yeah,

304
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: I saw this. I saw I saw Eli. You know,

305
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: Biden's lip really upset, very tense as the other team

306
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: was marching down the field. Now the Giants stomped them

307
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: and they actually won the game him. But I sent

308
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: out in a text and I said, you've got to

309
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: ask Elie about the interception and how it was on

310
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: the side, what he was thinking on the side, And

311
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: she's like, why you know, I there was no shot,

312
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: there was no mention, And I said, well, I just

313
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: saw the shot of him and he was really really

314
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: uptight and so she went with it and she did

315
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: it and it turned out to be a really good answer.

316
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: I forgot it well, you know when you sat off

317
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: the top of my head here because it was a

318
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: few years ago. But that's kind of what I do.

319
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: I kind of looked to see if there's anything that

320
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: maybe a shot of something that that maybe Joe and

321
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: Troy don't mention, and I try and get it to her.

322
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: But you know, during the game, I'll sometimes text her

323
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: my emotional response to a play. Um, you know, she

324
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: wasn't doing the lightning game last night when they were

325
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: playing the the Islanders in game two. But man, we'll

326
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: re text and back and forth. You know. Yeah, that's

327
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: kind of how we do it on game day. Um,

328
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, I when who was Brandon point was called

329
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: for a penalty, you know, when he was cross checked

330
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: into the goalie, I just like, this is bullshit. Yeah,

331
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: this is just absolute bs, you know. And sometimes she

332
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: gets those and she'll right back and she goes, Dad,

333
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: I can't ask that, you know, Well, Steve should mention

334
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: some doozies for me, for Mike McCarthy, Dad, in the defense,

335
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: you used to have doozies for me. I'm my dad.

Speaker 1: so much and a lot of it early in my

428
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: career because that was the beginning of social media and

429
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,560

Speaker 1: you when I was a lot yesterday. Um no, when

436
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: I was with Turner and I just kind of said

438
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,439

Speaker 1: I'm helping you get started, but you are ready to

442
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: take this on your own. And I don't know, you

443
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: just that was the biggest thing for me. You really

444
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: pushed me. You pushed me out of the house, Dad, No,

445
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,320

00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: But like you knew, I was going to work hard

448
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: and I was going to nail it. But you were

449
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: great about helping me with it. But it was it

450
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: was a hard one to do for me. Sure. You

451
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: know that. In the beginning when Aaron started with the Lightning,

452
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: a couple of things that I remember most well. After

453
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: the first game, you know, again, social media was just

454
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: starting up, and you know, some idiots wire going, oh,

455
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, she needs a noose job, or she needs

456
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: she's too nasily and all that, and and Aaron reading

457
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: this stuff and she was very upset, and I just

458
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: looked at her and so listen, if you're going to

459
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: be in this business, you better have a thick skin,

460
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: because this will drive you right out if it If

461
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: it bothers you, you know, you're done. Yeah, And then

462
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: season what was the most fun for me. It was

463
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: I watched every game she did and recorded it, you know,

464
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: like on our old VHS machine. And then when she

465
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: came home from the road trip, no matter what time

466
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: she came in ten it was three four in the morning,

467
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, um when when playing out and she got

468
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: home on her bed was the tape, the time codes

469
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: that she needed to go to a critique of everything

470
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: she did and how she what she did right, how

471
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: how she could improve. I tried not to be critical

472
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: and said, boy, you really blew this, but I don't

473
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: think I did. I just said I think you can.

474
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: You could do. You could have said this, or you

475
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: could have said that. So I was fortunate to be

476
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: able to help her. And I do hope that that

477
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: I didn't butt into much there, kidd, Dad stopping that

478
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: is so special. I mean, what am I asking you now,

479
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: like right before I sit down with Tom or like

480
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: I like Chris has said, like at Lambeau, like what

481
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: do I ask Aaron here? What do I do? I mean?

482
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: Come on, give me a break. You're like the producer

483
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: that you're the blood producer. You know, I've I've always

484
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: wanted No, It's perfect. I love this question, Dad, And

485
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're going to say here because

486
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, what's the one event I've covered

487
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: that you wished you could be at. Came to the

488
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: championship game last year, but since they lost them. Here's

489
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: how glad I wasn't there. There would have been another

490
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: big powder on the field. But Dad's so good, uh,

491
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean scoreboard quarterbacks that ever played the game, and

492
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: I truly hope that he remains a Green Bay Packer. Um,

493
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: so do I we have six of their games? Yeah? Well,

494
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: I mean the first games you know if if you

495
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: say it there anyway, but sorry, yeah, you know, listen, Um,

496
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: she I could say the game seven Stanley Cup finals

497
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: of the you know, Lightning and Calgary Flames. But you

498
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: were there, baby, Yeah. She was working for ESPN. I

499
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: didn't expect to go, and she called and said, hey,

500
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: the I don't know who wasn't. ESPN said they had

501
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: to take marks Shapiro love you, Okay, yeah, if you

502
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,560

503
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: a couple of tickets. She called me to work because

504
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: she told me that and said, I don't know if

505
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: you want to go or not. But and she said,

506
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: so what time you want me there? You know I

507
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,480

508
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: really watch her do the game. But um, you know,

509
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: afterwards we sat down and watched it several times. So

00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: I was going to make you tell this story while

598
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: Scott's coming on about don't say the word that I

599
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: said about John Lennon, because that's very disrespectful and I

600
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: was an asshole, ignorant kid. But I was telling the

601
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: story about having soap in my mouth, and I didn't

602
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: you put soap in my mouth after I was really

603
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: rude about John Lennon and I just let the spit

604
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: fall down, And you remember what you did after that?

605
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Maybe I need a comment about somebody else. I don't.

606
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't him. I think it was somebody else,

607
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: but whatever, if it was, I'm sorry, Dad, that was rude.

652
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: all you're gonna do is press the Scott, not you,

653
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: because we just put my dad through at the Q

654
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: and A. The hang up, and then I'll call you later.

655
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm going out tonight, but I'll call you. Okay,

656
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: you guys think daddy. I love you. Nice to meet you, bye, daddie.

657
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 1: Oh so sweet dad. How is your golf lesson? That's good? Yeah,

658
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: we're we're taking me back to I said to start

659
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: me over like I'm a ten year old boy. Um.

660
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: You know when you when you when you start golf

661
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: at thirty years old, you look for quick reason alts, right,

662
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: and so you take shortcuts to try to find those results,

663
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: but you end up being very inconsistent because you have

664
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: no foundation, no fundamentals, like you do when you start

665
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: sports when you're seven eight years old, and you learn

666
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: the fundamentals, and then because those shortcuts, you so inconsistent

667
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: and you get frustrated. But you're never going to be

668
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: consistent because you don't have any fundamentals. So I said,

669
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: start me over like I'm ten years old. Let's go

670
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: with the fundamentals. And then well I got another my time,

671
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: so let's see if we can start all over. So

672
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: you're at the pot putt course, is what you're telling us.

673
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: You're starting way back then. I'm starting off with a good,

674
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: good instructor and and then trying not to get hung

675
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: up on the results, which is, you know, where our

676
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: egos getting the way at this age as we want results.

677
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 1: But I'm willing to do the process. I love it. Well,

678
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: my dad's all about the process. I'll just give to

679
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: the first question. The best advice my dad ever gave me,

680
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: Aaron was pan, you're with it and we're your plan.

681
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: Growing up, we had these rules for success. It was

682
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: on our wall. My dad wrote down all these different

683
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: quotes of things we should do in our life in

684
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: order to be successful or hope to be successful, and

685
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: one of them on there was plan your work and

686
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: work your plan. So I try to still adhere to that.

687
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: But Dad, you know, I talked about you all the time,

688
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: which Aaron you know, speaks of her dad the same way.

689
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: And we have such a respect and love for you

690
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: guys that we would have been remiss to not have

691
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: you guys on UM as it is Father's Day, so

692
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: happy early Father's Day to you. But Father's Day, yeah,

693
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: we wanted to um. We asked Steve a couple of

694
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: these questions. So we want to just go through them. Aaron,

695
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: you want to fire the first question at at Scotty here. Yeah,

696
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: I love the advice one. You answered that, But I

697
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: just want to know about the first time you watched

698
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: Karissa on television kind of do her thing. And I

699
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: don't mean those car commercials that will get to you

700
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: in just a moment, but just your memory of seeing her.

701
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, my dad was just talking about what a

702
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: fan he is of her, watching her and just really

703
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: hold it down, and you know, she she is like

704
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: a quarterback out there. She's telling people when to go

705
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: and not to go, and uh, yeah, what's your first

706
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: memory of it? My first memory was she was on

707
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: Best Damn Sports Show, and that had been a show

708
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: that I had watched for many years prior to her

709
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: going on this with the group, And so when all

710
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: of a sudden she was there in the TV I

711
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: looked over to the couch to the right of me,

712
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: because that's where she would have been in the living

713
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: room as a kid growing up while I was watching

714
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: Best Damn But now she wasn't on the couch. She

715
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: was in the TV set, which was very unusual. And

716
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: then as a dad, you sit there and you're quite

717
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: proud that you know that they're having some success and

718
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: they're getting their opportunity to follow their dream. At the

719
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: same token, at time, I tried to be somewhat honest

720
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: about how good is she at this? And I came

721
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: away after a week of it going she can hold

722
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: her own with these people. She's not intimidated, and so

723
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: she she's going to do well at this. That's awesome.

724
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: Do you remember anything she said during that show or

725
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: anything that I mean stuck out besides you know, wanting

726
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: to see if she could handle it, or any little

727
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: moment she had, No I think, Um, one of the

728
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: shows was Jesse Jackson came on and I thought that

729
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: she might become a little intimidated, and she just fired

730
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: right back with some questions right at him. And so

731
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: I recognized then that the moment or the person wasn't

732
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: going to be too big for her. She was comfortable

733
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: and it's going to be on her own. So I

734
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: was proud of her for that, because at the end

735
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: of the day, they're all we're all just people. A man,

736
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: no kidding. Um, you know, Jed, I I have said this,

737
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: and I say this lovingly that you were tough on

738
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: us growing up. It's something I now appreciate because I

739
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: feel like I am tough. And Steve was mentioning to

740
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, his incredible broadcasting career that spans what fifty

741
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: plus years UM and so much experience that he has

742
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: in this industry and telling Aaron early on when there's

743
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: a lot of pundits and a lot to people that

744
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: say mean things to her and I, especially at the

745
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: beginning when we were going through this broadcasting thing, and

746
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: his advice was to have tough skin. Um, I definitely

747
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: know that that's how you raised us. Is it difficult

748
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: for you and watching some of the things that I've

749
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: went through personally or professionally too as a parent to

750
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: sit back and support but also understand that you can't,

751
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, jump through the computer and fire back at

752
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: these bullies. Well, I don't worry about that. There's always

753
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: going to be the haters out there in the world. UM.

754
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: I've had a philosophy, if you want to take credit

755
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 1: for the sunshine, you gotta take responsibility for the rain.

756
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: And if you guys are going to be out there

757
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: in that sunshine and have a lot of nice things

758
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: come your way because of who you are and what

759
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: you do, then you've got to expect some of the

760
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: bad stuff that comes with it. Every profession has both,

761
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: and so it's just yours is a little different and

762
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: a little more personal, a little more out there, which

763
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: just means you got to be a little bit more

764
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: cautious um and recognized that you're kind of always on

765
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: stage even when you're not. Do you have a game

766
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: or maybe you know, and I sit down interview she's done,

767
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: or maybe even an event she's covered or you know,

768
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: hosted or something where you sat back you just had

769
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: a good chuckle and you're like, damn, she's she's made it.

770
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: My favorite was she was doing a show called The

771
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: Toughest Cowboy and she was doing the rodeo following these

772
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: these rodeo guys would do multiple events, and she's interviewing

773
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: this one gentleman. He was quite pleased with himself and

774
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: what he had accomplished, and and he was just beaming

775
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: on stage because he thought he had won. And as

776
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: he was talking about how great he was and how

777
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: he knew he was gonna come through, she had to

778
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: break the news to him that you know, you lost,

779
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: and his face became so sober, and he looked over

780
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: and he goes what I lost? And I loved that

781
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: moment to where a person he just thought he was

782
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: the cats me out and it all turned back lar

783
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: on him and she had to be the one to

784
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: break the news to him. That's awesome. That's so funny

785
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: that that's what you remember. Steve remembers when Aaron was

786
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: working the World series and I was all on the job, Madron,

787
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: you remember tough as cowboy. That's amazing. It's so good,

788
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: all of it, um Dad. One of the stories that

789
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: I've told on this podcast, and again it's all said

790
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: lovingly because you know how much I appreciate the way

791
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: you raised me, but you know there's consequences for your actions.

792
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: And as a kid, when you know Tyson and I

793
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: were fighting. Tyson's my brother and I were fighting. You

794
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: went to go running and you said, if I come

795
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: back from running and you guys are still fighting, you're

796
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: gonna get it. And I got it, and I peeted

797
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: through the Halloween costume and I had to change and

798
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: remember that, Mr Thompson, do you remember her peeing her pants?

799
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: After that? I remember after she had Peter pants and

800
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: later when we took her to to trick or treating

801
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: and costume wise, she didn't have it anymore because it

802
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: was ruined. And she says, so one of my supposed

803
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: to be now you know, or what am I now?

804
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: I said, when you get to the door, just tell

805
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: people you're in trouble. So that's that's what you got

806
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: to go as that night in trouble. It's the vast

807
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: one of the Beast stories. It was very traumatized at

808
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: the time, but now in retrospect, it's actually very very funny.

809
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: You know, Dad, I mentioned the best advice that you've

810
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: given me. As I've gotten older, I find myself using

811
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: your advice daily and now even our time when we

812
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: go to the Masters or any time that we're out

813
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: doing stuff together, I often hear, you know, people ask

814
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: you for advice on different things and you just get

815
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: into conversation. And I have been lucky enough to get

816
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: a lot of advice from you. But what is something

817
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: maybe for our listeners or our viewers, since there are both,

818
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: that you would say is a good tool to put

819
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: in your toolbox? Is what we like to call your advice.

820
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: What's a piece of advice you can give people? And

821
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: it can be about anything that you think is is

822
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: applicable across the board. Well, I guess for all you know,

823
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm at a different age now, coming towards the twilight

824
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: of of this. So dramatic, but yeah, you look great.

825
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: But but I guess I I would remind everybody nobody

826
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: gets out of this thing alive. They don't have luggage

827
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: racks on hers, nobody takes any of this with them.

828
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: It's just all a bunch of superficial stuff. So the

829
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: real thing that you're going to leave behind when when

830
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: it is all done, is who were you as a person?

831
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: How were you remembered? And did you make the place

832
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: a better positive place? Because you were here on the

833
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: world and and you were in people's lives, and so

834
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: that's what you should be shooting for. That's what I

835
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 1: was shooting for, to to make the people around me better.

836
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 1: I think that's was the coach and me was maybe

837
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: not always being liked, but always making sure I was

838
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: consistent and they could count on that consistency, and they

839
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: also knew they could count on me to help them

840
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: on whatever they needed. And so I guess that's kind

841
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: of been my philosophy on my journey. I love that

842
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: good it's it's I want the athletes story. Is there one?

843
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: Does your dad have one? Like mine? My my dad?

844
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: We asked, UM, just an athlete maybe just kind of

845
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: was like a holy crop moment you've met because of

846
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: your daughter's connections. Meeting wise, I've been enjoyed on the set.

847
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw was somebody who when I was in junior

848
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: high in high school was was bread in the prime

849
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: of his career, so as I was a quarterback, so

850
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: I could relate to that. And then one night I

851
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: got a phone call and gentleman's on the other end

852
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: of the line said who's your favorite basketball player? And

853
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, you just said hello. And person

854
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: says who's your favorite basketball player in the NBA of

855
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: all time? And You're like, well, first of all, who

856
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: is this you know? And the person doesn't answer, just

857
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: please ask answer the question. So I go, well, it's

858
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: Dr J. And it was Joyce serving on the other

859
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: end the phone of UM. Let him know that he

860
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: was my favorite player, and so he said, well, let's

861
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: call your dad. And so I answered the question right,

862
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: and thank God for that. How awkward would that have

863
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: been if you said someone else? Well, I'm consistent, so

864
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: I think you counted on that. Love it Dad, you're

865
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: newly retired. What are we in, like three weeks or

866
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: a month. I'm just starting the second month, about six

867
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: weeks into the thing, the best summer vacation, everything, the

868
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: eternal summer vacation. I love it. Well. I know you're

869
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: taking guitar lessons, which is exciting. Guitar lessons, uh, water

870
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: paid watercolor painting lessons, and I just finished my golf lessons.

871
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: So I'm working on three different things right now, and

872
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: then um, after I get those kind of settled in

873
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: a little bit more than I'm gonna start working on

874
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: a couple of writing projects I've got. I love it. Yeah.

875
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: For me, retirement was was when somebody asked me, what

876
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: are you gonna do in retirement? I said, all of

877
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: us have a thing where we look back and said,

878
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: if I had it to do over again, I would

879
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: have done learned to play the piano, learned to play

880
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: the guitar, or had done to certain things. And so

881
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my retirement years as an opportunity to

882
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: go back and touch all of those things that I

883
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: would have done over because I don't have to be

884
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: good at it. I don't have to make a living

885
00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: at it, so I get to do it just for

886
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: the one of doing it and seeing what that's like.

887
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: So experiencing that. What doesn't this guy do? I mean,

888
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: what a dream? This guy, this guy who refers to

889
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: us as the five four girls, he always does that,

890
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: refers to us by our birthdays because it is unique

891
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: that we share a birthday. But Dad, you know you've

892
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: been a passenger in Aaron and I his friendship for

893
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: a decade plus and and known you know our relationship

894
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: and how it's grown. You are somebody that is very

895
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: loyal and somebody that takes friendship seriously. What advice do

896
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: you have for us before we let you go on friendship?

897
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: H Um, you gotta work at it, and you you,

898
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: you've got to make that decision whether they're fox old people.

899
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: If they're fox old people, they're in there with you.

900
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: They're good or bad in different whatever. Even if they're

901
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: having a bad and even if they've told you to

902
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: go after yourself and you're not my friend anymore, you

903
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: still hang right in there because they might just be

904
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: going through a phase where they need a little space

905
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: and they need to know that you've got their back,

906
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: no matter or even good times and bad times. So

907
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: I think that's the most consistent thing you can do

908
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: in a friendship is be consistent and let them know

909
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm always here for you can go to bad and

910
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: if they're truly a foxhole person and or a family member,

911
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: which I you know, we get to pick our friends,
