Speaker 2: they are hilarious. She is.
Speaker 1: We need to have her on this show.
Speaker 2: I want to hear about you know what it is

Speaker 2: is so funny with her husband and her kids.
Speaker 1: All all of it.
Speaker 2: How she will not wear anything but eagles here like
Speaker 2: that is so loyal and so sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's so pleased.

Speaker 1: But come on the podcast. We have questions.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the story here. Aaron can get into it
Speaker 2: on the big show if she wants to. But until then,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, the worst gift if ever gotten from
Speaker 2: a significant other?
Speaker 1: No gift?
Speaker 2: Well, normally it's me buying my own gifts in my past.
Speaker 2: You know, my bank account was used for my own
Speaker 2: gifts losers, So I think that would be the worst gift.
Speaker 2: And give me my tapaware back and the ring that
Speaker 2: I bought for myself. La la la to go to
Speaker 2: dinner tonight. Hey, I was driving today, inside joke, inside
Speaker 2: joke between you and I. I think this was you
Speaker 2: and I or I dreamt it you and I.
Speaker 1: Ty what that's a unit?
Speaker 2: I I A long way around. Came on by the
Speaker 2: Dixie Chicks, and I was remembering the one time we
Speaker 2: were like the earl song singing yeah yeah, right, yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: where was that was a stage coach.
Speaker 3: Those black eyed peas? They tasted it all right to me?
Speaker 3: And now he's dead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta I gotta remember how that goes, because
Speaker 2: that's a good song for me.
Speaker 1: Right now, home home singing in Montana. I'll sing it
Speaker 1: to myself while you're a busy skiing and I'm in
Speaker 1: the lodge, Roger Lodge. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2: We're not going to get through this very easily, all right,
Speaker 2: Jill raz chuck and again we mess these all up
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Do you feel pressure as women in a male sport
Speaker 2: to always show that you know as much as them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I still feel that way a little bit,
Speaker 2: but not in an assertive Listen to me, I'm going
Speaker 2: to ramble off all this information. I think that it's
Speaker 2: we've talked about it before, but I think it's just
Speaker 2: really important that we studied twice as hard and read
Speaker 2: those extra articles or watch those extra shows, or do
Speaker 2: certain things or talk to the extra guys to figure
Speaker 2: out if something comes up. Let's just say that isn't
Speaker 2: you know of For me, it's a rundown of things
Speaker 2: we're supposed to talk about, just that you're well versed
Speaker 2: in everything. So yeah, I always feel that a little bit,
Speaker 2: and I feel that way as a host, especially because
Speaker 2: it's my job to make sure that if the guys
Speaker 2: want to go a different direction, that I can follow
Speaker 2: them there and make sure that the conversation's cohesive. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel that I always want to know more information,
Speaker 2: but not that I like the guys are testing me, like, oh,
Speaker 2: let's see how much you know, like twenty years into
Speaker 2: this thing.
Speaker 1: Like I would hope that they know that I know something.
Speaker 2: Exactly, and our guys are our people, like, it's not
Speaker 2: like that for you or I in our current situations,
Speaker 2: but I'm not going to lie to you. After I
Speaker 2: do a sit down interview and I kind of get
Speaker 2: some insight of what may or may not be happening
Speaker 2: in a locker room, and then I come to the
Speaker 2: production meeting and I'm like, hmm, I think this team's
Speaker 2: going to lose, and everybody's like, Nah, you're crazy. And
Speaker 2: then fourth quarter, I'm oh, interesting, are we in break?
Speaker 1: We are great?
Speaker 2: Can everybody hear me? Hey, guess who predicted this one?
Speaker 1: Right? Right? Because you can take the temperature of the guys.
Speaker 1: I feel like that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's definitely a great point where
Speaker 2: you don't know because it's not been written about or whatever.
Speaker 2: And you're like interesting, So yeah, yes and no is
Speaker 2: the answer to that question.
Speaker 1: You're up girl?
Speaker 2: Uh the yeah this has happened to me from s
Speaker 2: Rogie question for the Boss babes. Have you ever cried
Speaker 2: at work? And how do you keep it all together
Speaker 2: when you are just so overwhelmed and you want to
Speaker 2: jump into a hole and hide. Before I was I
Speaker 2: was an intern. Oh I wasn't an intern. I was
Speaker 2: working kind of freelance for an Orlando station, and they
Speaker 2: wanted sound from the Bucks locker room, and a particular
Speaker 2: player was so nasty to me he physically turned his
Speaker 2: back away from me in the middle of his scrum.
Speaker 2: He also told me to go back, rehearse my question,
Speaker 2: and come back when I was ready. I was mortified.
Speaker 2: I was nineteen twenty years old. I had practiced. I
Speaker 2: did slip up a little bit. I like stumbled. He
Speaker 2: knew it, he knew I was young. I instantly started
Speaker 2: having tears come down my face, and two players in particular,
Speaker 2: Derek Brooks and John Lynch, saw it, pulled me over
Speaker 2: and said, what do you need? Oh my god, Aaron
Speaker 2: then Royalty. That's incredible. I've never heard you tell that story. Wow,
Speaker 2: Karma is the guy on the Chiefs. Wow, that is
Speaker 2: really it's the GM of the forty nine ers helping me.
Speaker 1: That's really great. Wow. I love that story.
Speaker 2: Mine's usually I mean, I don't have a specific one
Speaker 2: like that, but I love that, and I love those
Speaker 2: guys for that.
Speaker 1: I'm really as tough as I try to act.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm very emotional if I feel like I've disappointed anybody.
Speaker 1: So bosses exactly.
Speaker 2: My tears come from feeling like I've ever disappointed anyone
Speaker 2: that I respect, So I try to keep it together
Speaker 2: so it's not in front of them, But admittingly, I
Speaker 2: have cried a couple times in front of bosses over
Speaker 2: the years, and it is always met with support and understanding.
Speaker 2: There are times where they give tough love, and I
Speaker 2: like that because that's how I grew up and I
Speaker 2: appreciate that. But I think that that idea where it's
Speaker 2: like you have to be so strong and don't show weakness, vulnerability,
Speaker 2: to me, has always been a strength I think in
Speaker 2: people that I like. I like people that show vulnerability. Now, look,
Speaker 2: we can't be crying all the time. Get it together.
Speaker 2: There's no clock in baseball, Like, there's a time and
Speaker 2: a place, and if it really if you're overcome with emotion,
Speaker 2: don't feel bad about it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's just sort of a balance
Speaker 1: of the two.
Speaker 2: Like I know people that are just always like crying
Speaker 2: and bitching and you're like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: Lock it up?
Speaker 2: And I think to add to that, we feel this
Speaker 2: way about our bosses, which I've cried to them, like
Speaker 2: not like more than maybe twice. But it's because honestly,
Speaker 2: the environment that we have at Fox is very.
Speaker 1: Much a family.
Speaker 2: It's not bullshit when we say that, and when they
Speaker 2: have allowed us to feel that way. Christy and I
Speaker 2: have been literally at a group function in Vegas on
Speaker 2: the president of Fox Sports' cell phone doing Spotify because
Speaker 2: his phone could like it's so old. It was awesome,
Speaker 2: and then a big boss called. We're like, whoa, you
Speaker 2: may want to get this, but he like trusted us enough,
Speaker 2: like we had such a great weekend and stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 2: like when we kind of have to when he gets
Speaker 2: pull us to pull us as about something or you know,
Speaker 2: kind of talk to us about something. Yeah, you and
Speaker 2: I have called each other bawling because we don't want
Speaker 2: to let him down because we care for our bosses
Speaker 2: and our coworkers so so much. I got a miscall
Speaker 2: yesterday from one of my bosses since I have a few,
Speaker 2: and I was like, you know that feeling from Amazon,
Speaker 2: oh sweetheart. But I immediately started panicking and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh God, what's wrong?
Speaker 1: Oh God, oh God?
Speaker 2: And then you lose feeling in your legs completely, and
Speaker 2: then I almost called you and I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I misscall and then I called him back.
Speaker 1: He's like, what's up, just checking in? Everything going, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, go checking in?
Speaker 2: No, No, I was like I almost said to him,
Speaker 2: I was like, don't scare me like that. But he
Speaker 2: was awesome. I mean, but again, just we feel very lucky.
Speaker 2: This is a long winded answer, but it's to say this.
Speaker 2: I think depending on your relationship with your employer, they
Speaker 2: will allow you the runway to be vulnerable as long
Speaker 2: as they know that you care and you are hard
Speaker 2: working and you know, let's not keep making the same
Speaker 2: mistake seven hundred times. And honestly, one more point and
Speaker 2: I'm sorry we're going over to this. But if, like
Speaker 2: I know you and I feel the same way about
Speaker 2: this too, if it was something that involved a team
Speaker 2: or a player, you and I are so emotional and
Speaker 2: invested in our relationships with that we've talked about it.
Speaker 2: If there was ever a situation and we felt so bad,
Speaker 2: Like I had a situation where a certain player was
Speaker 2: coming up behind me and I didn't know he thought
Speaker 2: I was going to interview him and we had to
Speaker 2: get off air. It ruined my day for three straight days.
Speaker 2: I call him, Yeah, A week, and I was just like, literally,
Speaker 2: I need you to know you're like one of my
Speaker 2: favorite players. And I was doing that because we had
Speaker 2: to get off air, not because they didn't want to
Speaker 2: talk to you. But that's another time we would get emotional.
Speaker 2: But it's because we love our job and we love
Speaker 2: what we do so much. I could go on and
Speaker 2: on about this, which we probably should on the Big
Speaker 2: Show because again off season, but let's put let's put
Speaker 2: a way for it, put a pin in this. And
Speaker 2: I think it's a good conversation with the idea of
Speaker 2: just in general workplace sort of what am I trying
Speaker 2: to say here? Just navigating uncomfortable situations because we've got
Speaker 2: some questions before with people being like if there's a
Speaker 2: mean girl in the workplace, stuff like that. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: all right, last, but not least anonymous, how to tell
Speaker 2: an out of town friend they cannot stay at your house.
Speaker 2: You can't stay at my house. It's too crazy here.
Speaker 2: I got a leak, I got a kid, I got
Speaker 2: a dog, I got a husband who drives me nuts
Speaker 2: and sometimes I have to send him down to that
Speaker 2: guest room when he's coughing. Last night, you can't stay
Speaker 2: here for those that can't stay at Aaron's house, you
Speaker 2: can come over to mine. I'm happy to host you. No,
Speaker 2: I uh, let's take this to the Big Show, to
Speaker 2: the streets.
Speaker 1: Let's take this to the streets. I'm writing the show
Speaker 1: because I yeah, I got a lot of thoughts on this.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. In fact, you and.
Speaker 2: I had a conversation about this over frozen Bargs opening up.
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go.
