Episode 146: Pregame – Do You Have a Side?

write your local congressman, what's the odd draft? Exactly one oh two O one West Pico Boulevard. Actually, uh, Los Angeles, California, nine thirty three. I think I don't know what the other end of these upcode is, but you'll figure it out if it matters to you, and it matters to us. So, ladies and gentlemen, it is Super Bowl weak for us. Aaron's about to get on a flight. I get on one tomorrow and it's gonna be a time. So we're gonna dive into these questions and then keep them coming.

We appreciate you. First one j R. Anderson ten best advice for a young ish dad trying to raise three girls. Help First all you're adorable and girl dad angel Um, Aaron and I are big daddy's girls. I would say my dad had an expression that he had a lot of expressions, um, but he said, it's not my job to be your friend. It's my job to be your father. And then in eighteen you can decide if you want

to be my friend. And growing up was tough on us, but I always knew how much he loved us, and so when I look back on it, he I like, I think he did a good job, because I mean, I like who I am, I guess. But more about um, you're gonna have to be tough on those girls, and you're not doing them any favors by, you know, just letting them pass because when they get out into the

big world. And as Aaron and I know like working with um a lot majority men, really it's like you have to be tough and stand your ground, and so raise those little girls to be really tough. But the words of Cinderella have courage and be kind, So I think, be tough, but also know that, you know, show some love along the way and be a good listener and relate to them. My dad's a great listener. I feel

like I can talk to my dad about anything. He always is, you know, asking questions and like I said, listening, and he's so good at that and I appreciate that, and that's why we have such a strong relationship. So cute, Allison Couch. Valentine's Day date reservations out or a cozy dinner gift or no gift, just a card, question mark. We are super chill for Valentine's Day. We kind of already have our plans set in place and it's not a big to do or anything like that. I like

to give a little card. I like to do a little card from how he gift. I mean, it's nothing like you know in the past with we are first dating, he had just wanted to Stanley another Stanley cop and I would get them asual pictures of him on yeah. Um, I would get pictures of him on the ice and frame it as like his Valentine's Date card and stuff. Or my husband really likes candy a little too much,

so I don't know, Jared's a candy guy. Oh mine, I didn't know that God, really, do you think there's a drawer in your fridge for for fruit and vegetables. There's a drawer in our fridge for chocolate bars. Oh my god, I didn't know tking like diabetes A Oh my gosh, that's jis what a guy? You know? Surprising? Yeah, I don't know. I mean this is Steve and I first Valentine's Day together. I'm always Valentine's Day. I'm not girly. You and I are more tomboyish, but like I get

girly with Valentine's Day. Like I like to even wear like a red dress or like a pink this. Like, I don't know, I like it. I think it's like a sweet holiday. Yes, it's the whole Hallmark thing whatever. But I even like for like girlfriends, like get them gifts and just tell them I love I don't know, I like it. So I don't know what I'm gonna do, isn't it It's like the day after we get back from the super Bowl or Tuesday. Um, I don't know, I'll do something, but yeah, I'm really I would love

nothing more to go there. Now that is the gift that keeps on giving. So I'll figure it out. But Allison, if you have any ideas, let me know if you come up with something. C J. Barrows Aaron, are you still a high risk returner or have you gained some status back? That's the door. I really during the season, don't buy any clothes. I we have our girl, Alyssa Green that does it for us, So she's probably a high risk returner for everything where I'm like a problem.

At the beginning of the season, I'm feeling it, I'm tan, I like where my body is, and then buy November December. I'm like, yeah, no, I'm not going to wear that. So she's like, wait, you loved it in in augustus My vibe was totally different. That was fresh. I was rested. I was goodly, frusty and fitchy. I looked back at those pictures that she takes for us at the beginning and I'm like, oh my god, I was crushing it. What the funk happened here? Yeah, that's such a great thing.

You loved it. I loved it when I looked good. The days are over. It was working for me. Now I'm just like, can we high waisted make it back and throw like a like a loafer window. What can I wear that can cover loafer? You do? Um, well, I just had a pumpkin loaf because I'm hungover. More on the full length podcast on Thursday about that. It's fine. I'm having a great time in life. Next girl, Oh my god, this is such a good question a con

eleven for sit down interviews. Who decides the chair situation? Some look very humpy versus others that would be our producers that do it, And a lot of times it's like what's available either at the hotel or the restaurant or wherever they have picked out for us. Or sometimes our producers actually even go to like a home depot that morning and look for certain things. But that is a great question. I'm very criticism to be annoyed by this.

I am very like hands on in terms of like what this set looks like, because I always try to make it like be okay with my shoes and the color of my outfit, Like I already know I have Patrick mahomes tomorrow and it's like a lower chair and I'm in a skirt, So we also like plan like which way I'm sitting and the side of my face that's no, that's No, that's not knowing. Um I don't care so much as Aaron. Aaron's detail oriented and that's

what makes her so good. I'm seven. No, No, you are very detail oriented because you're good at what you do. I'm the gal and very similar to her packing. She thinks of everything. And you're lucky that I even like you know, obviously don't get enough underwearing half the time, but you're lucky if I even get a bag packed or on the airplane. Again. For more on that, listen to the full length podcast. But I think for me,

all I care about is that, um my. So for all your future producers out there, or anyone that's aspiring to be a broadcaster or is a broadcaster, these are three questions that I suggest you ask. What is the color of the background, So you're not wearing a red outfit and the background is red? Are you sitting in low chairs or high chairs? Because again, if you're sitting in a high chair and you're wearing a skirt, then you end up in a se Kuon Barkley interview where

it looks like you're not wearing any pants. Okay, so that's my second. You're so wrong about that And third, I don't have a preference on side. When they're like, oh, do you have a side, I don't know, pick one, left one, it's whatever side my zip is on the side, yes, you know what, do you have a side? Yeah? My nose is like a lot longer going this way. It's just like, I mean, I have a big nose anyways, but it's a little easier to deal with this way.

So I try to be if that's if it's on a certain side, I try to be towards like an angle where it's not like I didn't okay, those kind of hooks on the other side, hook and ladder, you're ridiculous. But no, Um, I don't have a side, but I do. If I have a zip and I know something's going on on one side, I kindly ask can I sit on that side? But yeah, those are those are things. But great question. It is good, am spell if you get to choose what time you're going to bed and

when and when are you waking up. I don't ever go to bed it early enough. Chris is really good at that, and I wake up way too early because I'm having anxiety. Um, I probably because I'm so happy in my life. Now um and not dealing with drama that I sleep like a baby. Let me tell you what. Like, I was not sleeping for a while. Oh. I actually remember, like a couple of weeks ago. I was like, I'm not sleeping very well. So I don't know what was

going on. But I'm normally a really good sleeper. Those patch things they're called the patch and it's like it has vitamins in it and it's Steve had him and I was like, I'm just gonna work. I'm like, knocks me out because I've never done any the melotonein any of that stuff, and I've never needed those. They work like a charm. Now I'm back on a schedule, I'm like a baby of my sleep schedule. I sleep like a little champ. But I go to bed early. I also try. I don't know, I go to bed early.

I'll sleep in if I need to, But I usually wake up around seven because the dogs need to go out, and myr the alarm clock in your brain or whatever, Like I don't really wake up with an alarm wage kind of wake up. It's a long winded answer, and now we all need to go to bed because this answer is taking too long. Um merida the mommy, I'm saying that, right, are you going to dive into the Bachelor after the Super Bowl? So funny that you should ask mere to the mommy because I've never been a

Bachelor watching kind of gal. But I was perusing on Hulu the other day and the Bachelor thing was up, and I go, you know what, I want to just see what's going on here again at forty let's see what the twenty year olds are doing out in the streets. I watched half an episode. I gotta be honest, I was like, I can't do this ship. I was like, I am so far past like what they're talking about and what they're doing. And I was like, I've felt like I was doing a TikTok video that I shouldn't

be doing. So yeah, I don't. I don't get into it. But good for them, Good for Jesse Parler. Although one of the girls, one of the girls on there, she goes go back to ESPN, she said that to him on the show. I was crying. I was like, that's hysteric. I was, I should have recorded for you. Well done, who I'll go back recording. It was so funny. She just like yelled, she like ten cocktails, and she goes go back to esp A right, your little dog too, A little dog too.
