Oh my god, 315 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys the Niners game. It's going to be a 316 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: rematch of the NFC championship game. You know, the Niners 317 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: have blown out the Cowboys in the playoffs the last 318 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: two years. This is such a great matchup. Wanh like 319 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: freaking San Francisco runs away with it. 320 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: So who's dalla? I don't know. Eagles looked very dominant yesterday, 321 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: especially in the second half when they ran away with that. 322 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. 323 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: I just can't put my finger on the pulse of 324 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: the NFL, which is why we love it. I thought 325 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: the whole emotion in our game was really, really interesting, 326 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: and I struggled with it because I asked Jalen Hurt 327 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: in our conference call with him keys to the game. 328 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: He listed several keys to the game. One of them 329 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: was good communication with coach and player. They have new coordinators. 330 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: That's such a big deal when you are both sides 331 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: of the ball, yeah, on both sides of the ball. 332 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: And I thought our pictures were really I think our 333 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: our crew does such a phenomenal job with pictures. And 334 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: the picture of Sirianne, Jalen Dante Smith walking Jason Kelsey 335 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: blowing up after he felt that they didn't have their 336 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: acts together on the line. I thought that was really interesting, 337 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: especially for a team that's five and zero that you know, 338 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: is just has picked up where they left off. 339 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I just thought that was so so interesting. I 340 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: like it. 341 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: I like the emotion on the sideline, and I know 342 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: that media, you know, we were quick to but like, 343 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: oh they're fighting, Like they're not fighting, They're trying to 344 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: figure it out, make it perfect, right, I'm like, and 345 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that that also says a 346 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: lot about the confidence of that team that they can 347 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: show that outward emotion and like have no question as 348 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: to whether or not I. 349 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: Can't remember, which tells you my brain. 350 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: In our game with the Eagles, Jalen Hurts was going 351 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: at it yeah with someone on the sidelines and then 352 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: oh okay, yeah, and we were talking about it in postgame. 353 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: He's like it was fine. 354 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: It's like anyways, but and can I tell you something? 355 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: I almost texted you, and I texted Joel about it. 356 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: My sit Down features producer who works with both Chris 357 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: and I and he's also a good friend. 358 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: He produced our segment yesterday. I struggled with it. 359 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: I almost gave myself like a freaking migraine during the 360 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: game because I only get two quick questions and before 361 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: they're booting me off. And I did the postgame with 362 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: Jalen and I almost asked a question about it. But 363 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: this is where it sucks all you aspiring whatever reporters 364 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: or want you know, want behind the scenes. 365 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: Look, the game's out of reach. 366 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: You know, for most of the fourth quarter, we kind 367 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: of knew that obviously the Eagles were gonna win. 368 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: Jalen's numbers were insane. There's so many questions you can ask. 369 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: I only get too and when you are sitting there 370 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: and he's on a podium, you can get into that. 371 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: But I really did want to ask about the emotion 372 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: on the sideline, but that's like for somebody that has 373 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: four to five questions, you can't ask that. 374 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: So I tried to allude to that in the way. 375 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: I asked a question like emotional win on and off 376 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: the field we saw for you guys. He told me 377 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: in our meeting that I don't even remember how I 378 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: phrased it. People think this game is easy and it's not, 379 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: and we saw that with their emotion. But what impressed 380 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: you the most about the way your team was able 381 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: to grind it out and get another win. 382 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: It's just hard. 383 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: I really battled with that on the sideline to ask 384 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: about the emotion. But I knew that story with you 385 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: with the AJ Brown and you guys doing that game, 386 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: So if that was a hard one, I was so 387 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: closely texting you about how to handle that. But you 388 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: know what's interesting about that, because I always feel like 389 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: some questions, you know you're not going to get an answer. 390 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: He's not going to say no, oh I hate Agro 391 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: their best friends, Like, he's not going to say that. 392 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: So it's almost like, do I waste. 393 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: One of my two questions when I know I'm going 394 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: to get a generic response back. So I think I 395 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: couldn't hear your post game because it was just the 396 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: all the screens were up and I only had sound 397 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: from our guy's post game show. 398 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: But I think that in. 399 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: That situation, you asked the question and I don't need 400 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: to tell you how to do your job. You've done 401 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: it a lot long at the highest level. But like, 402 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: you ask a question that's going to elicit the best response. Yeah, 403 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: and if that's not going to get you anywhere, then 404 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: it's like, let's not waste anything. And then he looks 405 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: at you like you really think I'm gonna say something 406 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: exactly exactly, But asking questions is hard in those situations. 407 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: I never did, which is probably why I don't do that. 408 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: Went to the clinic on like, I should probably take 409 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: a course in asking questions again? 410 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: No, what, where? When? Why? How? I mean, you know, 411 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 2: what's a good tool for me? 412 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: Even when Sean McVay I was coming out of the 413 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: half with Sean McVay, I just texted Greg real quick 414 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: and I said, what's the one thing you want to 415 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: hear from McVeigh because I knew it had to be 416 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: something about defense, you know, with the fact that Jalen 417 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: they had just given up that huge drive at the 418 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: end of the half, and Greg thought of one I 419 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: wasn't even going to ask now that Cooper cup. You know, 420 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: do you know that the Eagles are going to adjust? 421 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: How do you try to move him around? And guess what, 422 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup wasn't as effective in the second half as 423 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: he was in the first. And that was a great 424 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: question by Greg and I used it. I'll have a 425 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: little teamwork, you know, makes the dream work. And also 426 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: that just goes to show that you're not arrogant. You're like, 427 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: I have all the answers. No, no, you know what 428 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: Ryan just put in our chat. Circling back to pregame 429 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: on switching roles question. 430 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: There was a great question. 431 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: We have a little segment every Tuesday called the pre 432 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: Game and people submit questions, comments and concerns. One of 433 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: the questions was would we ever want to switch roles? 434 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: I think meg a to do in sidelines and aerin 435 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: going into studio. I think we've talked about this before, 436 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: but readdressing it just because you were in studio yesterday. 437 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: I have been very vocal, not in a negative way. 438 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: I just have the utmost respect for you and going 439 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: on the road and being, you know, a sideline reporter 440 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: for how many years have you done this? Twenty something 441 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: at this point when you think back, anyways, I couldn't 442 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: hack it on the sidelines. Nathaniel Hacket, congratulations on your win. 443 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 1: I I it wasn't my thing. I just felt like 444 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: there was more that I wanted to say throughout a game, 445 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: and if I didn't get in, I got frustrated. I 446 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: was like, why am I doing all this work if 447 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm only here to react to what I got seeing? 448 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 2: What's the Yeah. 449 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: So I always felt like I left a lot of 450 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: stuff on the cutting room floor and I wanted to 451 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: be not like more front facing. I just it was 452 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: difficult for me to do all of that work and 453 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: feel like sometimes, especially early on, I was a baby 454 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: reporter and I wasn't good. 455 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: I frankly, I don't think I was a good sideline reporter. 456 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: So you're great at it, you love doing it, and 457 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: so no, I'm much more comfortable and happier in Stewdo. 458 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: And you're so really you're great at it.

I love him so much. 520 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: It means more than people get. I mean, listen, yes, I, 521 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: Jared and I were discussing it last night. Travis Kelsey 522 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: is one of the top five. He's one of the 523 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: biggest names in the NFLF five s Drake voice he is. 524 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: And it's just despite whatever is going on in his 525 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: personal life. The fact when we get a pat on 526 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: the back from people that are faces of the league, 527 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: people we work with, people of power in this industry, 528 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: it just means so much to us. And I love you, Travis, 529 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Shit like that is just special 530 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: and you never need here. I mean, let's just all 531 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: say what it is. You never need validation. I don't 532 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: think as an athlete you like have to have people 533 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 1: talking about you. I don't think whatever respective business you're in, 534 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: you don't have to have that. But it is really nice. 535 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: I was having this conversation actually with one of my 536 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: bosses that a little bit goes a long way, And 537 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: as you know, we both own companies and have employees 538 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: just saying hey, great job with that, or good job 539 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: of that, or I was really impressed with what you 540 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: did here, this and that. Like you may think it, 541 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: but when actually when someone says in it. It doesn't have 542 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: to be on a social platform, it doesn't have to 543 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: be anything. It could be a private message, but it 544 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: just I don't know. For me, it's motivation no matter 545 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: where that's coming from, not just because it's a compliment, 546 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: because I also like, you know, getting feedback. I ask 547 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: my producer for Amazon once a week to email me 548 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: things that I did well and things that I didn't 549 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,479 Speaker 1: do well in the broadcast, because I always have to 550 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: think about it, like that's my game film and I 551 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: watch back every show. I do not because oh I 552 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: want to watch myself on TV. But the minute that 553 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,239 Speaker 1: I start thinking that I'm so good at this job, 554 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: is the minute someone else is going to take it. 555 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: And for me, if those athletes that we watch go 556 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: back and watch film of themselves on ways to improve 557 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: the minute they come on the sideline, they got the 558 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: Microsoft surface, what is working, what isn't working? I like 559 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: to apply that same principle to my own job because 560 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: there's little idiosyncrasies do I say, do I see like 561 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: certain things that I can be better at? And I 562 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: just think that it's important to always ask for constructive feedback, 563 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: but then also unsolicited get compliments. And the thing that 564 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: Aaron's referring to is this Travis is like so been 565 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: so supportive of Aaron and I long before Travis. 566 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 2: And the tailor and the whole thing. 567 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: But like I know I've mentioned it before, but even 568 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: like you know, when Mack was born, Travis knew the 569 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: second I told him that you were having a baby, 570 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: Like he was so genuinely happy for you. And I 571 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: think that this industry is so special because you do 572 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 1: become friends with these guys and create these relationships and 573 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,959 Speaker 1: not just players on the field, but as we were 574 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, at work, like that feels like 575 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: a family, Like Michael feels like a brother, to me, 576 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: feels like a brother to you. And if anything that 577 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: we've went through in our lives, because we've went through stuff, 578 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: those are the first people that call you. And it 579 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: is really cool when work coincides and those individuals become 580 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: friends and family. 581 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 2: Is this? I mean, I what Ted talk am I 582 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: your life? 583 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: There were two moments yesterday I have to tell you about. 584 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: Well one Lily was fantastic. She captured that Lily, thank you. Yeah, 585 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: we both posted them. We were sitting back, all of 586 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: us in that studio and watching this segment that was 587 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: pre taped, and we were all laughing. I had my 588 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: arm around Big Poppy and straight he had his arm 589 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 1: around you. 590 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: It was so special. It was so great. 591 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: And that is also because and I know, I don't 592 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: know if you've told the story about like how nice 593 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: Big Poppy was to you when you first started covering 594 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: baseball and when I just started covering football, like how 595 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: nice Michael was. And I just think about, like I'm 596 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: with Steve, because Matthew and Kelly, it's like this, these 597 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: relationships end up really sort of intertwining. And so anyways, 598 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: tell your stray story. I'll tell my Poppy story because 599 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever told my poppy story, 600 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: tell your stray story. Yeah, I mean, he was on 601 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: Best Damn Sports Show when he was still playing for 602 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: the Giants. It was my first national show that I 603 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: ever got and Best Damn Sport Show. For those of 604 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: you guys that don't know, I'll sucinctly tell you. It 605 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: was a late night talk show. It was one of 606 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: my favorite shows like that, you you know, it was 607 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: the intersection of entertainment and sports, and this was a 608 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: time where culturally, like you could say what you wanted. 609 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: I mean, just Tom Marnold's on the show. We'll leave 610 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 2: it at that. And Michael being savvy. 611 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: Michael Straham, which is why he has the career that 612 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: he does, was smart enough and one of the very 613 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: first place to go on these types of shows while 614 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: he was still playing, and so he was a frequent guest, 615 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: he was a weekly guest, and he was so kind 616 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: to me, and it was like, oh my god, it's 617 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: Michael Strahan, and like, I'm this dumb. You know, I'm 618 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: saying dumb. He didn't ever make me feel like that, 619 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: but you just sort of get insecure sometimes when you're 620 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: first starting you're around these like massive personalities, and he probably, 621 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, just I had thought that he was like this, 622 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: Oh god, who's the blonde bimbo over there? Never once 623 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: made me feel like that. None of those guys ever, 624 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: did John Sally, Chris Rose, Rob Dibble, any of those guys. 625 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: And Michael was just so kind to me and like 626 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: took the time to be like, all right, so like 627 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: where you're from and this and that, and I never 628 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: forgot that. And so now just you know, twenty years later, 629 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: being able to when anything bad in my life has happened, 630 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: or even good things have happened. He's always absscall or 631 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: a text that says like here for you, and that 632 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: like means so much. 633 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: Look at me starting to cry. 634 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: But it's really sweet because it goes far beyond the 635 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: job itself, and you never forget that. 636 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 2: Okay, big copy story. I love this one. 637 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: That's actually a line that Derek and I were talking. 638 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: Derek and I we reck and I you know, we 639 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: were just talking. We're just talking about when I covered him, 640 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: when I covered Poppy, like I was saying to Poppy 641 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: doing home run Derby's with him, like I just feel 642 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: like baseball will never It was just not that it's 643 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: not special now, but it was just a time, you know. Yeah, 644 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: Derek's in the All Star Game. Marianna Rivera like, it 645 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: was just great, and I was talking about I asked 646 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: how Jorge Posada was doing, because he was always so 647 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: nice to me, And Derek said, you never forget those 648 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: that were nice to you, do you? And I said no, 649 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: And I was like, you were always great for me. 650 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: I said, you never would give me much an interview, 651 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: but you're always awesome. But my first year of baseball 652 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: with ESPN, my very very first game ever was the 653 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: day that the Red Sox were getting their rings after 654 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: they won it for the after what two thousand and 655 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: four is that right, Ryan. 656 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 2: The car thirteen? 657 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: I think right, foury twelve, So it's when they celebrated 658 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: at Fenway and the legends came out of the Green Monster. 659 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: Bobby or walked out, Bill Russell walked out, Teddy Bruski, 660 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: who had just suffered a stroke, walked out. My dad 661 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: and I were praying to God that Larry would come out, 662 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: but he didn't, so it was so exciting. I got 663 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: my dad tickets to the game again. It's my first 664 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: baseball game ever for ESPN, and I still remember who 665 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: this person was. It wasn't a producer, it was an 666 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: executive at the network. And I was just like, I 667 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: wonder what my first story should be, and he said. 668 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 2: I'll give you one. 669 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: Why don't you go try to get a ring and 670 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: not a bat boy's ring and show it on Sports 671 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: Center because before our game, sports Center was on and 672 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: so you always had to fill for Sports Center and 673 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: have stories. And I was like, okay, I grew up 674 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: a Red Sox fan because my dad, my dad's from Springfield, 675 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: mass He's at the game. Frickin' awesome. I knew who 676 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: my favorite player was. Never met him before. I walked 677 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: right into the Red Sox clubhouse. Boys had just gotten 678 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: their rings at probably the night before, and I walked 679 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: up to Big Poppy David Ortiz and I said, Hi, 680 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: my name's Aaron Andrews. I'm new to baseball on ESPN 681 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: of college football, one of my favorite baseball players ever. 682 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: Sports Center is asking if I could get your ring 683 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: to show? Would you mind? If you know anything about 684 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: the Big Poppy? He loves the word fuck, and he 685 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: just said in the most darling way. He goes, I 686 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: don't give a fuck have it. Gave me his World 687 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: Series ring. MLB security was there. I don't know if 688 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: Team security was there, and like, she can't walk out 689 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: on the field with this, and he goes, why not 690 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: never met the guy after shaking my hand with his 691 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: gorgeous smile, and he goes, she can have. 692 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 2: It, bring it back. 693 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: I took big Poppies ring and I walked out onto 694 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: the field and I grabbed my ESPN MIC and I said, 695 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: I got the ring. I got the ring and they 696 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: said whose is it? And I said David. 697 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 2: Fucking' Ortiz and I showed it on Sports Center and 698 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 2: he's been my man. 699 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: Then Nope, not a bad way, which is such a 700 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: backmannd it but that's just yeah, good for you. 701 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: And those guys were awesome. 702 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: I had Derek and I were talking about this. Rick Suckcliffe, 703 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: I worked with him. He's such a great guy and 704 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: he really broke the ice for me with a lot 705 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: of people. I remember him telling Roger Clemens, she's with us. 706 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: She's a good one. And you know, Derek was asking 707 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,239 Speaker 1: what he's up to. I need to get back in 708 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: touch with him. But what's really cool for us? And 709 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: I know you know this with your amazing group that 710 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: you have on Thursday nights and the bond that you 711 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: guys have created, like to get into certain circles, it's 712 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: really helpful when your teammates go to bat for you. 713 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: And the Yankees clubhouse, I mean they weren't. They weren't 714 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: like the Red Sox Clubhouse. Red Sox Clubhouse is there. 715 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: They're like, either're drinking and the clubhouse they're having a time. 716 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: Yankees are hiding. You're not finding them. 717 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: But when Rick Sutcliffe said to Mike Mussina, Roger Clemens, 718 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: Derek Jeter, like she's one of us, they were really 719 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: really cool. 720 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: To me, that was awesome. It's really cool. 721 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: And that is that invitation into a sacred space, the clubhouse, 722 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: the locker room, the whatever, you know, insert analogy here, 723 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: but it is once you get invited, it's your job 724 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: to stay there and appreciate it because it can get 725 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: taken away at any moment.
