Episode 157: Pregame - Aye Yai Eye!

you looking forward to with the upcoming NFL season? Aaron? Would you like to go first? I like the gossip that's going on in the teams, just all this stuff we get to hear that we don't really report on because that's not what I want to do for a living. But yeah, all the banter with my teammates and just hearing about what's going on with other teams and crews and all that stuff. It's fun. I like that. I like hitting back out as much of a grind as

it is being on the road. And I know we change our tune around week ten, but I love week I like getting on the road, back out on the road. I think also too because I haven't been out on the road for like you've been, you know, on the road every year of your career. I took a hiatus and have been in studio for the last six years. So now with the introduction of Amazon on Thursday, I like doing that and I like, I don't know, I

like being at stadiums much. I mean, the studio has its own fun vibe to it, but being at stadiums and the energy of the crowd and everything is what I am excited about. I love that Dye Joan asks goals for the upcoming season. Oh, he's got a two parter goals for the upcoming season, and did you wash your makeup rushes yet? So my goals for the upcoming season, I'm going to be a little bit more aggressive with Z my producer and selling stories and explain explain what

that means. So for people that don't know what that means, selling stories means what I think I've learned from some other people who you know, really try to get out there that yeah, I should be doing that as well. I think a lot of times I'm like, well, that just seems like common knowledge, So why do I have to say it? But why not. I work just as hard and you know, grinding out there. So you know, sometimes our producer will say, Ea, do you have anything

down there? Is there anything you want to add? I'm like, no, it's not earth shuttering, but I know how I can make it kind of filled with some information from the sidelines that the viewers would like to hear. Sometimes I like to not really interrupt the flow of the broadcast because Kevin and Gregor are doing such a good job that I'm like, Eh, no one needs to hear from me. Let's get to it third and fourth. But you know what,

I'm here too. You are, and I don't underestimate that because they're such gracious teammates that they wouldn't care if you call it interrupting. I'd call adding like, there's a reason that you're there. And so you're probably in your own head about some of that, But no, no more to say. What about you? What are you? What are your goals? My goals for this season? It's going to be interesting because for the kickoff show for Fox, the

departure of Sean Payton. That was a big loss for me because I just loved having him on that set. I still don't know who's going to be replacing him, if anyone even is. So that's TVD on that chair. So that'll be different, but also fun to just sort of That show has had some turnover each year for a lot of different reasons, but that's not always a bad thing. I always look at it like an NFL roster. There's turnovers, there's staples sort of the mainstays, and then

just the introduction of new people brings new life. As far as Amazon, I'm excited that it's our second year because last year there's so many unknowns. Those guys had never done TV before, and so I think also just for them and knowing that they know what to expect now, it's going to be a lot easier to sort of hit the ground running with that crew. And I'm excited that they're all coming back with suurn fits it wit. Yeah, and so it'll be great. I bet it'll feel like

it was miles apart. Like you guys have grown so much. Yeah, as opposed to me crying after every show and calling you and being like the audio didn't work. But this it's a new experience. Yeah, and have you watched your makeup brushes? Well, there's also done yeah, exactly there stole out because the burglars also took that. I mean, as if it wasn't enough you took the majority of my belongings. You also took my makeup, and so you know what, I'll just have to get new ones because I hope

you guys get pink. I in fact, I hope you get a stye in your eye and you have to get your eye taken out. How about that? Aii. I don't know if you could tell from this incredible palette here that I don't have makeup on high Daisy, But yeah, they stole my makeup brushes. So gross gross for you guys, I hope you break out. Gross gross gross La La Ria, turning forty one, worried about fertility any tips, Yes, don't wait any longer. Go to a doctor and get checked

out and see about freezing your eggs. It's kind of no joke, yep. And Aaron is on it on me on the regular. I have done one round and I only had half a dozen eggs that are frozen, so I need to do another round. And my gal is constantly telling me that. So it needs to be a priority for me as well, because I don't want to you know, I'm still that's a conversation for another day. I'm still on the fence percentage being that I don't want to have children. But again that's a much larger conversation.

But I still should have, as I like to say, a life jacket on my boat in case I changed my mind. And you have definitely instilled that in me, so I need to make that a priority. I'm going to get this wrong. One thing my girlfriend has said before she has three kids, is you will never say to yourself, I wish I hadn't had this kid. You'll always say I wish I had tried. Yeah. So I don't know. That's just I think she says that she wished she didn't have one of us, but I can't

remember right to hit it. Although I always ask her if I'm her favorite, she says yes, though I'm sure she says that to every one of them. Mac Morgan thirty eight Advice on first home purchase. I love this question as someone who loves real estate. Similar to fertility, get involved early. You're never going to regret. My dad always preaches this to me. It is not how much

money you make, it's how much money you save. And for me, real estate has always been my four to oh one K plan because I'm an independent contractor with my contracts and so I don't have a four to oh one k through my companies but kind of companies. So real estate can seem scary right now the industrates are high and it's not a good time to buy. But I think that you know, start slowly, get a rental property, and you know, have that as a source

of income. I could do a whole ted talk on real estate, and really I love it so much because to me, I'm not someone that's ever played the stock market. I've never gotten involved in bitcoin. I want to see where my money is going. And like sitting in a house that you buy, it's something tangible. I know that with my house and home stuff, like just renovating it

and upgrading it. I have a rental property that is for three or four of my properties, and just using the money that you invest to pay yourself back and just knowing you always have that, like not always, but I think for me it's it's going back to the aforementioned analogy of a life jacket. I feel like that's

my life. Jackets on my boat is my real estate investments that if all else fails, and you know, we work in an industry that's you know, a couple of year contracts and you don't know if you're going to work after that. So for me, the investment in real estate has made me feel a little bit more secure in that regard. So Mac, I'm happy to answer any and all questions. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I could just share what I've learned with you.

So what's your email? Happy to talk to you. And last but not Lee's Girl Garam nine to thirty favorite character on Yellowstone. I don't have really much insight to add on purchasing a home, but I do know's on Yellowstone. Yep, I do, But I don't really I don't know. I mean, oh yeah, I do. Yeah, whatever story. Actually, I my favorite character in Yellowster, and I do know that. I would say sometimes Beth, although she was annoying me at the end, I love Kevin Costner in it. Why was

she annoying you? I don't know. Sometimes it's like, all right, we get it. You want to scare everyone? She wipe her? Can you give her bottom eye a courtesy wipe? Like? Come on? Uh, courtesy Wipe. Care was always like on her lower lid? Where is makeup? Courtesy Wipe. She's great, but I do love Kevin Costner. I know. I'm sad, so are we on season six now as That's why I'm confused on how they do this. They break up the episodes and now they're breaking up. Taylor, Sheridan and
